[Draggo548]

magnificent, almost a perfect description of my feelings :')

[ExposedSecrecy]

This song is so familiar to me. I know I've listened it before,but I mean in a different way,I don't know...

[marshmellow442]

'Tis will be my funeral song

[lovescene77]

this is frakking beautiful :')

[Squishy198]

what is this witchcraft 4 dislikes.... WTF!!!

[ThePizzapie23]

This song is almost as sad as "You be the anchor that keeps my feet on the ground, I'll be the the wings that keep your heart in the clouds"

[TeEnHeArTsBrEaK]

@ThePizzapie23 u should listen to "stay"by mayday parade if your going through something with someone that one can be a real tear jerker

[mikeworld90]

@TeEnHeArTsBrEaK trueee

[Wheelie1994]

is this from the valdosta album??

[Moonlightstarsnow]

@Wheelie1994 As you can see byyyy the album cover, no it isn't.

It's by their new self-titled album (Mayday Parade, ofc.) :)

[mikeworld90]

@Wheelie1994 valdosta album is only acoustics

[aelover18]

there is so much raw emotion in this song..<3

[itsjustblink182]

Perfect.

[booobooo2122]

Those who disliked this song have never been so sad that they want to give up, and Mayday Parade has never pulled them out of that sadness.

[GigidyGigidy234]

Oh fuck! Now there are 4 dislikes? THIS. IS. IMPOSSIBRU.

[nightmareee57]

This song is absolutely amazing.

[JenaKiller]

My bestfriend got hit by a car a month ago, today, I miss her so much, We were i the middle of a little fight when she died, I will never forgive myself for the last words I said to her. I know we would have been friends again real soon in she never passed, I love and miss her so much, I litteraly cried myself to sleep for the first time the day she died.

R.I.P. Bridget <3

Forever missed!

[1FlorMorena1]

[rollerblader9526]

@pet3rgriffin saosin your not alone. i think i spelled that right. im not stalking you if you think i am i saw the post you wrote about yahoo answers...

[pet3rgriffin]

First time hearing them..I'm in love. thanks person on Yahoo Answers <3

[rollerblader9526]

@pet3rgriffin not a probably ps im the one who sent it to you. i love the band also

[pet3rgriffin]

@rollerblader9526 That was you? :D

[rollerblader9526]

@pet3rgriffin yup

[pet3rgriffin]

@rollerblader9526 Do you remember the song I posted when I asked about the emotional songs?

[BeefJerky2346]

I lost my best friend in elementary school to cancer. Not a day goes by where I don't miss him. But hearing this song really makes me stop and think about everything. Mayday Parade just made me cry, their music is some of the most powerful music I've heard in years. RIP Connerman, I miss you with all my heart.

[AttackOfTheKy]

I want a love button for this song..

[RomeGamer]

dear youtube, please could you relies personal information of those who dislike amazing song like this one, so that people like me would find them and beat them up.

[FayAnneMariePrice95]

This song was played at one of my friends funerals today, and his vigil last night D:

[VultIV]

Half the songs in this album are pretty bad but some of them----this one---- fucking brilliant.

[LainVesper]

@VultIV

Nah, I think most of it is pretty good except the best I could give the album is a 6-6.5/10, which isn't bad, but not exactly great either. My reason being is that it's way too homogenized / as someone who thinks creativity and lyrics is overrated in music, a bit more creativity and diversity would go a long way for this album.

Either way, I love this band and album, even if I can only give it a 6-6.5/10, and this song really is amazing, the best next on the album, next Oh Well.

[huey00045]

Just lost a friend to his disease he had. He was just about to be 23. RIP Tyler I know your in a better place.

[Fastf1ng3rs]

So this song is about a person who was cared about by the band. Like a lot. Until something bad happened to him, he died. This song is about how he copes with him gone and how he wishes that he was by his side. "A mother shouldn't witness her son die at 24." I hope someone sings to me when my time comes.

[AreWeJoeKing]

Who else is mesmerized by the pulsing white bar? o_o

[kewlmatt1]

I lost a close friend to a battle with drugs last month. This song clutches my heart when I need it to. Merry Christmas, Alex. I miss you. 3

[Themellie1]

I honestly haven't got a clue how this band is HUGELY popular. They're amazing!

[DarthChewyProduction]

One of my best friends, Travis Rushing.. asked me to go to Taco Bell with him one night, and I didn't go. I had other things to do.. and that night.. he crashed and passed. He was about to turn 18. Amazing person. I miss him so much.. I should've went with him.. I don't know, I just.. I always thought we had more time. :(

Rest In Peace, Bro.

[celeste13142]

This song was hard for me to listen to for a while cuz it was my and my exs song

[OddOneOut13]

@celeste13142 But this song has only been around for a few months.

[ShawnPivotto]

I originally fell in love with 'A Lesson In Romantics' and it stands to this day as one of my favorite album. I had listened to their 2nd CD and didn't like it at all, so I just figured Jason leaving really affected the band heavily, but I decided to give this CD a listen, and honestly, I'm blown away. I love this CD, and this song hits hard.

[XxtypoxX]

@ShawnPivotto I completely agree. ABH was a very week album

[TheriniaMinecraft]

This band... Gives me Chills... And it's 76 degrees in my room... With the heat on...

[1FlorMorena1]

Thumbs if you wish that certain person was by your side... </3

[RyannnnnD]

@1FlorMorena1 I second this, so, so, so much.

[1FlorMorena1]

@RyannnnnD why soo?

[lbp1expert]

@1FlorMorena1 i dont

[1FlorMorena1]

@lbp1expert well then you're a lucky one... it hurts like hell...

[JustPwnYou]

@1FlorMorena1 I wish nothing more than that she was right here, right now :'(

[AndiHeartsGuard]

Mayday Parade really knows how to hit me hard.

The first time I ever listened to them (and to this day) I cry at the lyrics, I'm literally breath-taken, my chest tightens, and my eyes fight the tears. I don't know what I'd do without this band.<3

[dous0920]

The dislike button is an illusion. Don't be fooled.

[heavenrain94]

This song is touching me so much just a day a go my friend since elementary took his life after struggling with depression. I miss you buddy.

[xBlueStreaks6]

who would dislike this????

[YouBarf]

So that 1 dislike is an illusion?



[destro03]

never bored

[xomekiaraxoful]

oh mayday parade <3 I'm glad you finally made an album(':

[shad0wdrag0n117]

see that one dislike? thats a fail troll.

[marshmellow442]

who's the other guy singing?

[ReplaytheMusic]

@marshmellow442 Jake the drummer! He does an amazing job, if you see them live he sings jasons parts in the old songs (which he does a great job of) and now these parts which are his parts in the new songs.

[marshmellow442]

@ReplaytheMusic Thanks, i really do need to see them live before i can call myself a true fan ha:)

[teamjames123]

so goood live <3

[Thesweetangel672]

Theres only 2 dislikes, because they had a twitch in their hand while trying to click the like button ^.^

[tittencanel]

soooo stabil diese band



[schmadrianna]

HOW IS THERE ONE DISLIKE. HOW. WHAT IS THIS FUCKERY?

[Greenday5012]

@sK8iNtHeRaiN Your gay,,,,,,,

[sK8iNtHeRaiN]

@Greenday5012 Oh really? Cause the last time I checked you couldn't tell someone's sexual orientation just by something they said. Moreso something they said over the computer. Maybe you should watch what you type on the computer. Or better yet, do us all a favor, and say nothing at all if it's not going to be uplifting to others around you. Do what you'd like others to do to you. I know I learned that in elementary school. Maybe you missed that, though..

[sK8iNtHeRaiN]

@Greenday5012 And next time you come to a Mayday Parade video to listen to music, don't type some random crap to start something with a random person. If it's completely unrelated to the music you have no purpose being here. So put up or shut up.

[Greenday5012]

@sK8iNtHeRaiN Your cool.. shutupp i say 2 words and you blow upp alright? shutthefuckup..

[sK8iNtHeRaiN]

@Greenday5012 Awwh thanks! That means so much to me..and yea..you're so cool too. I'm totally just in awe right now at your maturity level. It makes me wanna be more like you! ^^ ..it was two words more than that needed to be said. So really? All I flippin did was comment on here way before you, which means you had to have come on here and clicked through a bunch of different comment pages to find my special one to comment on. I'm so glad I'm worth your time.

[sK8iNtHeRaiN]

@Greenday5012 Next time, don't dish out what you can't handle. Cause I'm not a girl you mess with. You mess with me, you get it back. Got it? So you can go back to where you came from. KayThanksBye.

[ShiverMeBenderx1]

@schmadrianna That one kid has no soul, has no life, loves to ruin others, and is gonna go burn in hell. It's gonna happen. I'M A DUDE AND I ENJOY THIS BAND. ;D

Sincerly, ShiverMeBenderx1(;

[LoyalKnightofOrion]

@schmadrianna It's just an illusion.

[XxXmageeXxX]

this is why i love mayday, on video's like hollywood undead, and justin beiber its just constant fighting, but mayday brings us together with their amazing words <3

[HaleyOtori]

PLAY THIS SONG AT MY FUNERAL. ♥

[khaydon16]

Have you ever noticed that right after someone leaves a comment about there being 0 dislikes some asshole dislikes the video

[animeluvr4561]

@khaydon16 That asshole was my friend, he did it when we were on skype to be a troll xD

[pelotita0929]

Wow one person needs to sleep and never wake up -.-

[RoflwaffleSi]

or should i say are

[RoflwaffleSi]

the drums in this is epic lol

[KatNightMusic]

I want to end my life to this song,, :(

[crux7272]

@KatNightMusic Get a grip.

[TheThisisjennings]

This album came out a week after my dear friend passed away and I got a tattoo for her on my foot. This entire album influenced so much of everything I've done and made it through. It's impacting and did justice to all of their other work.

[Ar0474]

I'm buying this as soon as I go to Hastings! They've outdone themselves!

[LiquidZv]

It starts to get boring listening to the same quotes to get top likes D:

[VarsitySmurf]

This song makes me tear up every time...

[DEFY58THE58ORDINARY]

It breaks my heart when Jake talks about writing the song.</3 So powerful and relate-able

[VarsitySmurf]

@DEFY58THE58ORDINARY Where can I hear him talk about writing this song?

[DEFY58THE58ORDINARY]

@VarsitySmurf I got it off of Tumblr. I'm not sure of the actual URL.

[VarsitySmurf]

@DEFY58THE58ORDINARY Yeah, I found it. Thanks!

[1pawnyou]

my tongue is week and every time i try to speck i cant say nothing ... nothing at all ... double negative .

[mitsuhide16]

oh look! one hit dislike button....guess what 266 people dislikes you oops not only that 42,808 people also dislikes you...sorry man!

[gunray30]

i like their new album... ^__^

[MyBlitzyline]

Great album! Great song! sad song though.. but those are often the best!

[anime1629XD]

Jake sounds kinda angry at the first verse. Its like he's singing it like he means it... Wait, does he now? I wonder...

[OwenIsOnFire]

@anime1629XD Well, it is about a friend of his dying...

[Goreveign]

I've listened to Mayday Parade from the start, wasn't such a huge fan of the last album as I was to the first, but this song is amazing, reminds me of my buddy. The great harmonizing of Mayday Parade is back. Good album.

[TheExperimentalGames]

is one guy going around and disliking every one of these videos to get reactions out of ppl

[imrunningoutofspace]

this could be the saddest song ever, but I still love it. I'm so blessed that I have yet to lose a friend but Mayday Parade still somehow is able to convey their heartbreak to me through their passionate lyrics and music. I wish all music had such a moving message.

[Vic0triaRAWR]

Favorite song off the album<3

[gabzkie000]

I want this song to be played in my funeral when I die <3

[JasmineKrupicka13]

This song makes me want to cry! I freaken love it!

[freakout1324]

Sounds exactly like you've made your bed so sleep in it by you me at six

[jessicahdawn]

@freakout1324 I was thinking the same thing!

[kathryngirl13]

am i the only one that thinks that the chorus to this song, sounds like "love story" by tswift?

[7PlayingWithFire7]

FUCK whoever it was who said Jason was Mayday Parade! This shit is potentially better than their stuff with Jason! <3

[iilIiiiiIIIlllllll1]

no dislikes <3

[H2KMasterPiece]

THIS SONG IS AMAZING NUFF SAID

[kirasheart69]

this song just hits me like a ton of bricks

it's baffling how mind blowingly talented these boys are in writing lyrics that get you right in the heart...

every time i listen to it i can't help but feel connected

[crazystupidperson777]

@kirasheart69 i wish i could thumbs up your comment like a billion times its so true!

[esther123arq]

I always feel like he is going to say twenty-one.

[ssmitty777]

My brother killed himself about two months ago. He was 24 years old. I can't begin to express how deeply this song hits me. I can't listen to this without crying, and thinking about all the nights we used to spend talking in our room growing up. R.I.P. Gabriel. I miss you so much, and will always love you.

[meeasian]

@ssmitty777 Im so sorry to hear that. I know exactly how you feel. One of my good friends also killed himself, It'll be exactly a month ago tomorrow. I still cry almost every night. My heart hurts from missing him everyday. But they are both in a better place. I'm going to visit his grave tomorrow for the first time since the funeral. It will be hard but I will gather up the strength do it.. R.I.P. Eric, I love you.

[meagangracetorres]

i think i just killed the replay button O.o

[nailgun00]

speechless<333

[gonnamakeitsha]

They never fail to amaze me.

[LittleMissIndieRock]

0 dislikes, just the way it should be<3

[RoflwaffleSi]

@LittleMissIndieRock SEE WHAT YOU DID??? NOOO! loljk

[LittleMissIndieRock]

@RoflwaffleSi Say what?

[RoflwaffleSi]

@LittleMissIndieRock lol u alerted the trolls that this video had no dislikes :l

[LittleMissIndieRock]

@RoflwaffleSi Oh, *facepalm*

Some Mayday Parade hater came and clicked the dislike button... and went on their friends account and disliked it again. All that trouble, for a nanoscopic dislike bar. Tehe:3

[sK8iNtHeRaiN]

@LittleMissIndieRock There are no Mayday Parade haters(;

[XquisiteHarmonies]

@LittleMissIndieRock  Dang it!!!

[RoflwaffleSi]

damn, every mayday parade song is like a masterpiece

[MrRawrmonster12]

Jake <3

[taylorcrawford94]

eargasm

[1115Norton]

I find myself singing this song, all the time. This whole album is amazing.. <3 and this song is brilliant!

[capturethismoment313]

my friend's little sister was hit by a train yesterday and killed... this hits soo close to home. </3

[jamaes13]

@capturethismoment313 Aw man :\ you and her family will be in my prayers. I'm so sorry for your loss.

[czech698]

wwwgreatbuyoutletscom

[SpacedOutTunes]

Notice how NOBODY has disliked this song.

[ETF0807]

Best song on their new album in my opinion!

[ezmoXD]

avenged sevenfold is to so far away while mayday parade is to everything's an illusion

-both is a song for a dead loved ones

[kirasheart69]

@ezmoXD don't forget about 'Terrible Things'

[ezmoXD]

@kirasheart69 i think terrible thing is just a song,ahm not a tribute to someone ^^ the 2 songs i mentioned were a tribute made to a band member,probably like a brother...to each of the bands

[kirasheart69]

@ezmoXD it actually is a tribute song about one of the band mate's mothers.

[ezmoXD]

@kirasheart69 ^^

[Kmarshall7337]

@chrissyyjayy The song is about Jake's friend who died in a car crash in Atlanta GA

[goth221214]

"All the stained pieces, I can't believe this

A mother shouldn't witness her son die at twenty-four"

I don't know why but at this part I start to think of all those like videos telling you not to do it. Like the music video for good charlotte's Hold On with the one part of the dad saying "It's not supposed to be you burying your children,it's supposed to be them burying you". I dunno. Just saying my thoughts.

[kirasheart69]

@goth221214 i thought it was "Rest in pieces"

[kkbcharlie]

this is Jake song for his best friend who died in Atlanta.. :((

[waddupk]

<3

[chrissyyjayy]

Does anyone get the vibe that this song is about a friend who committed suicide?

[disgruntledmodatucka]

@chrissyyjayy I don't think he commited suicide, jake said himself that it was about a friend who "passed on" he said nothing about suicide.



[7PlayingWithFire7]

@disgruntledmodatucka Does it matter? Suicide or not, it's still tragic..

[disgruntledmodatucka]

@7PlayingWithFire7 Nope not at all, very tragic

[Silkaaay]

you're something to remember

i wish that you were here by my side.. <3

[UBPmusic]

I like the verses in this song more than the chorus. The second verse with the dual vocals is just perfect.

[RoflwaffleSi]

Quantum Physics.

[tacoboiii2]

0:00 to 3:28 BEST PART!

[NickySx]

this is so sad <3

[WakeUpAndGo7]

The lyrcis are so beautiful. THIS is the Mayday Parade I missed from last album!

[Eiznekcam4]

Who is the other person singing???

[kKKHUSHAL]

@Eiznekcam4 the drummer jake
