Bayside- Megan(Acoustic) Smoking Popes Cover. w/ lyrics.

[SomeoneStoleMyMangos]

I can't wait to see Bayside at Van's Warped Tour this summer!

[shancassidy]

this song was about how megan died and he parked his car on the train tracks so he could be reunited but because it wasnt his time to die he was revived so he tries again and again he fails because its not his time but he desperately wants to be with her again

[dsabes99]

@shancassidy but then he got bored and found some new chick to die on him right?

[MeganGoldthorpexx]

Yeah, i'm called Megan but i listened to this song because i love it nothing to do with my name.

[IlIlDannyIlIl]

Hahaha my.video to my old account... :) awesome 58k views...

[beautiful6521]

i love this song

[12lmeganl12]

Damn, he says 'maegan.' mines pronounced meegan

[Project2502]

@12lmeganl12 You're doing it wrong.

[12lmeganl12]

@Project2502 never C:

[timma6]

The song is about a guy who's girlfriend Megan just died. He's suicidal because of it, so he goes and parks his car on some railroad tracks. Then he gets hit by a train and wakes up in heaven but it's not his time, so he doesn't go up the stairs. He wakes up on Earth again and sits on the tracks waiting for another train to hit him, but someone finds him there and takes him away from there.

[antiemo9]

The song is about the girl of his dreams that he's always been waiting to meet but he can't seem to find. That's what I read on some other video comments. It makes about as much sense as the suicide ideas I've been reading and its less sad.

[bignjuicyBANANA]

it seems like this song would belong to bayside. But it's actually smoking popes

...

[Cynlis]

i cant figure out the true meaning to this song, because the third verse contradicts him dying in the second verse.... but the second verse only points to heaven its driving me crazy

[RevHamRules]

@Cynlis a guy loves a girl with all his heart the girls name is Megan as he looks into the mirror at him self he realizes that it will never be.

the train reference is referring to life and the direction their lives are going in and he believes that some day they will be together on that same path.

but after thinking that she would meet him on that train ride of life the seem to miss each other he has gone to a better place with someone else though this person means nothing to him...

[gonnabeufc]

I think he wrote this song about his pet dinosaur who was making crack rock in the back of his dentists van.... Who gives two shits what it's about just listen to the effing song, and No one cares what your name is, shut up because its NOT about you.

[iwasbored1195]

this song was written about the singer's ex-girlfriend, she was a bitch, but he wrote this song about her to get her back. didnt work out though...

[operattte]

This song brings tears to my eyes every single time i hear it.

[XxTangeloLuverxX]

Thumbs up if your name is Megan like me ;D

AND, if you like this song :D

[exitleftnow]

I'm butter on a summer day when I hear this song...

[DAVECATAZ]

Butter on a summer day.

[5hinRyu]

It figures I find a great song when I really DO have to let go of someone. I'm sorry Hazel. I tried.

[lanidakoala]

Bayside's version of this song is song is so much better than the original. ><

 i love the sentimental tone of voice he uses, it makes it sound way more sincere.

especially in this verse:

"butter on a summer day when i

hear your name its a dream that never came true.

so i sat down on the tracks and waited for a train to take me back to you..."

[DahliaUndead]

4 people are pissed Megan left them hangin'...

[MrTbreeze47]

i actually realized i can do a damn good kermit the frog impression trying to sing like josh caterer

[SKAisJOY]

@MrTbreeze47

haha fail. you put that in a comment like 2 weeks before this one.

[whodat422]

megan is dead. the guy's trying to commit suicide - i heard that whistle call my name - caught a ride to another town - standing between the landing and the stairs (heaven) - almost climbed the stairs. but he doesn't at the end - somebody came and took my hand - and i finally had to go. he let her go instead of committing suicide.

[MrTbreeze47]

i realized i can talk like kermit the frog singing josh caterer's part lol

[SRV18947]

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DISLIKE THIS?

[pointestar1990]

love ittttt :)

[pumasmaster]

i heard that whistle call my name, and i almost drove away.

but megan i had a feeling u would be on that train, so i just waited there for you.

[cranktheskylight]

bayside did an amazing job at covering this song.

[Daarko15]

Bayside and The Smoking Popes are two of the greatest bands to play a chord. Great song and amazing remake, thanks for posting.

[Jayysonic]

THIS SONG WAS SO AWESOME I HID MY KIDS AND MY WIFE CUZ I WAS AFRAID MEGAN WAS GUNNA SNATCH EM UP.

[RevHamRules]

I this song is about and guy giving his heart to a girl want him back. He waits around for her to come to him,meaning the train was a figure of speech. His dream that someday she would be his kept him around too long. Finally, he realized it was just that, a dream, not reality and that it wasn't working out so he finally decided to move on. Something in that set of lyrics tells me maybe someone helped him move on, like another girl

[roriiiooo123]

OMG OMG OMG MY NAME'S MEGAN, THIS MUST BE ABOUT ME!

No, my name's Rory and I'm not a bitch.

[Tourniquet135]

this song is not about anyof you bitches..stffffu

[LiLxBoWeeZy]

This song makes me want to, bend over and reach my penis all the way to my butt and fuck myself. Idk why.

[torment04]

thats chris conelly of saves the day, not josh caterer

[proaffliktion]

@torment04 that is Josh Caterer, you fucktard. Even Anthony said that. Josh was there in the recording and partcipated in the vocals.

[kushskateboards]

i think his voice is ok but not enough for bayside

[mrsdancingqueen0]

i can't even describe my love for bayside and this song. i get emotional just writing about it (:

[jakegyllenhaal69]

I'm going to legally change my name to Megan... Just so I can Hear anthony raneri say it...

[ZeroSkater62095]

@jakegyllenhaal69

Fucking weirdo xD

[originalparksta]

<3 omg. enough said.

[SeasonVelvet]

Megan always seems to be one of those rather over-looked names, despite it general prominance -- so I must admit I get a little thrill at hearing it sung so, quite up there with all the Roxanne's and Carrie-Anne's and Ruby Tuesday's.

[saosinrock17]

dedicated to henda

[italllies]

I dedicate this song to sher.

[headstrong440]

absolutely amazing.

[meghanx712]

my name's meghan.. with an H. im slightly disappointed.

[alk3mizt]

it really doesnt matter.. even if your name wasnt with an H.. the song isnt about you just cause you have the same name. so cry some more.

[LordOfTheWhores]

I dunno about this song but I <333 Megan.

[heartbbyheart]

my names megan.

first time ive ever herd this song...

i love it(:

Daniel thank you for tellin me to listen to it lol

[koieokei]

Bad Astronaut's version of this song is the best version, including the original.

[ckaper1]

worst.

[supasexyshafee76]

no, just... no.

[timothyxmcveigh]

Haha...This song has always made my girlfriend cry

[timothyxmcveigh]

Wow...I had no idea this band covered this song. I still like the smoking popes version a lot more, but it aint bad.

[OFFTHEWALLSMIKEYL4D]

i love the name megan.

[scornedbeauty]

im gonna follow everyone pretty much

my names megan! hehe

[xRidiculousxx]

Mu name is Megan:D!

And yes more than half the people who wrote on this, their names are Megan:)

I spell mine Meghan though.

[timothyxmcveigh]

That's pretty cool of you

[jjjustinwerna]

when i finally understood the song it was sad....but the ending is happy because he waited as long as could at the tracks..he never commiteed suicide ya know he missed the train

[tbag842]

@666fishsticks fag

[IlIlDannyIlIl]

but megan I !!!!

[lalalo21]

i think that this song is about him loving a girl and waiting for her and trying to save her from herself before something bad happened, but it did anyway, probably a suicide, making him suicidal or depressed at the end, but then someone saves him by taking him out of his grief. He also realizes that he isnt guilty because he did everything he could by waiting for her for so long.

[BananaIsland42]

Haha, I'm a Megan too...

Seems like most of the people making comments on this video are Megans. XD

[lalalo21]

this song is sad, i almost cried when i re-read the lyrics and understood the meaning.

[Smiley7912]

My name is Megan..

but even if it wasn't,

I would love this song.

Cause it's so beautiful.

(:

[meg1241989]

what a gorgeous song. just so happens my name is megan hehe

[RTHowse01]

I also like this song...mostly because your name is megan.

[meg1241989]

sweety <3

[RICkRockU29]

im almost positve this song is about how he waited for this girl named megan that he loved and waited and waited through everything until he coodnt any longer and just had to move on

[Smiley7912]

you are correct

xD

[artistorwitch]

My name is Megan as well. However, I hope all of the other Megans here realize what this song is really about. The Megan in the song is dead. The guy is remembering her. I think she might have killed herself by getting hit by a train. Hence the opening lyrics.

I could be wrong, but listen. Sounds like she's dead to me.

I still really like the song, but it is rather sad.

[WARMtrash]

No, i'm almost positive this song is about a guy who's in love with Megan. And he's thinking about her and waiting for her on the train tracks. And he gets his by a train. Then the whole "caught a ride to another town where the air was clean.. exc" is describing heaven and "the stairs" as in the stairway to heaven. Then he hears Megan call his name and he waits for her on the "staires".

[WARMtrash]

continued:

Then at the end he's a ghost still waiting at the train tracks for her and the "someone who came and took his hand" was God taking him to heaven and he's saying "he waited as long as he could" (:

[trolm3]

Nice way to be positive. No it's not about a girl that killed herself.

[beepbopdop]

@artistorwitch Umm, actually you're partly wrong. The song is actually about him committing suicide, because she is already dead. In the first verse he's talking about parking his car on the train track and the second verse is about heaven.

[aml686]

@artistorwitch wow thinking about that is making me tear up :( i hope that's not really what it's about T_T

[friskykiller]

@artistorwitch i think this song is about him commiting suicide by a train to see megan again.

[roriiiooo123]

@friskykiller That's basically what she said....

[OMGCrackYay]

@artistorwitch I also think Megan is dead. And because of that I think the narrator is trying to commit suicide. "When I hear your name, it's a dream that never came true / So I sat down on the tracks and waited for a train to take me back to you". idk~

[songs521]

@artistorwitch this songs about a girl named Megan leaving him and he ' s still in love with her and misses her , and he 's waiting for her , but eventually he finds someone else unwillingly and he 's telling her that he waited for her as long as he could even though she left him.

[coheed0211]

@songs521

No, it's about a girl named Megan committing suicide. It's kinda obvious.

[generation55why]

@artistorwitch i like that idea but i think its about FINALLY settling for another girl when he really wanted a girl apparently named megan who he thought was the one but they couldnt be together...either way a tragic and beautiful song

[haam]

@artistorwitch i like this idea.. but i think the train is a metaphor for love lost. the protagonist can't let go so he obsessively waits at the tracks - the last place she left him, metaphorically speaking - for the train to bring her back. he almost leaves but he can't let go. his friends come and get him, drag him away, but he always goes back. he's "butter on a summer day when she's around" - she makes him melt he loves her so much but she's left him broken and waiting on the tracks.

[rocktoohardcore]

@artistorwitch I think the song is about waiting for a girl/guy. Up to the point where you realize you have your own life to live. Though the best things in life are worth the wait, sometimes if you don't take that thing as it comes, you could lose your opportunity. "I heard somebody call my name

I almost climbed the stairs.But Megan I had a feeling that someday you'd meet me there

So I just waited there for you" & the last verses.

[chondriacmusic]

I find it hilarious that about 50 percent of the comments say: I love this song!! My name is Megan!!

..

Of course, my name is Megan too, but that is of no importance. Haha.

Everybody needs a love song named after them. Or at least that shares their name. Especially one like this. It's just so.. cute. And it's an excellent cover. I'm ashamed to admit I like it better than the real song.

Well, maybe not ASHAMED, but.. you know what I mean.

[DeFabMegz95]

Haha, I heard this song at a talent show at my school, and i love itt.

and im a Meghan.

lol.

(:

[megzy120]

and i'm also megan! :L

[Caspertozero]

I'm Tim!!! omfg yay

[chondriacmusic]

Hahaha, you remind me of a Tim that I know. :D

He would have done the exact same thing.

[minihearts123]

XDDDD

[OFFTHEWALLSMIKEYL4D]

Im Gazpatcho! z0mg!

[MeganGatesRiotx]

i'm megan!

[bgdeee]

well !!! why'd you leave him hanging???

[Sarv976]

well i thought it was about a guy and this girl he was in love with, megan, had just died. he smoked weed to try and ease the pain because he was so depressed. later while he was high he got stuck on the train tracks and just decided he wanted to stay there and die. i imagine Josh's part as him having a near death experience or just what he was thinking heaven would be like. then before the train hits him someone gets him out of the car and he promised to himself that he would see her again.

[nicolfanta]

i think your right but the bloodshot eyes could be from crying maybe and not weed

[bravesbbeastin]

Dang that was deep.

I just like the song, never would have thought of that.

[XxLightShinesBlackxX]
