[anthonyliacone]

[seancomer17]

I liked their music, but I had no idea how annoying the guys are. What douches...

[Deathsquad49]

what synth is she using for the string part? what company name?

[Jennibot]

I love this band :)

[oommggzz]

i like how this video starts out like a porno

[bestspelller]

Ah! I miss this band! Why did they break up? D;

And Alida Marroni here kind of sings like Kori Gardner from Mates of State. :)

[TheTsprinkle]

Their music is very individual/great!!! LOL!!!

I love their style!!!

[sharpyjack1]

But I want to love you, Alida.

[FrostedLlama]

I love the song- to be honest I expected the video to be much better! 1997 <3

[bigmikesupreme]

By far the best song with kids running around. THUMBS UP on running away when giving advice ha ha

[tabbyBLINK]

I remember seeing this on Fuse YEARS ago.

[macekilla1]

i was born in 97 ._. lucky me xD actually i share MJJ's birthday

[lovesmusiclovesboys]

[blkradionetwork]

31 people weren't born before 1997

[sammibabyx]

[AnAmericanSkylineNY]

[PBDdrummer]

Does anyone else notice at 2:06 that Alida gives the most cutest look ever.

[MsMissSunday]

the singer is soooo damn hot

and that girl is reaally cute

<3

[Heislegendrocks7]

This song reminds me so much of the end of the school year last year. I used to sing on the bus everyday.

[Thespianation96]

i like how this band is different, and sounds great live!!!! to bad they broke up. =/

[tomharding]

Ah, happy days. This song oozed summer.

[RosalieHale4life]

i miss this song soo much... i remember when i 1st heard it did they breakup??

[indigo0indie0boy]

it's stupid how good bands break up before they get near the mainstream, I mean, these guys couldve been something more if they stuck to it :/

[exiledjedi]

@indigo0indie0boy 100% agree... It sucks man. =(

[gearsdan]

Alida is the PRETTIEST GIRL EVER

[Afroblack379]

@gearsdan I must adjust my waistband every time I see and/or hear Alida.

[crymar09]

@gearsdan Not her voice =/

[gearsdan]

@crymar09 her voice is AWESOME BUDDY...

[crymar09]

@gearsdan Yes but I'm saying that it's not Alida's voice in the video; it's Kerri's. And in my opinion Kerri's voice is better.

[vampirephychic]

its a shame that they broke up :(

[Aimeeyurdy]

Love this song :) <3

[zviundersk8]

the girl with a keybord is hot!

[tomma232]

@zviundersk8 Ahhh yes.  Kerri Mack. Oh the many dreams of her :)

[ttaylorloreii]

@tomma232 That's not Kerri, that's Alida Marroni.

[tomma232]

@ttaylorloreii

Damn, and here i thought it was Kerri...

[Quinlinsq3]

the singer is cute (girl)

[aiyanapiranha]

Kevin Thomas is so cute. Not to mention he's a great singer.. Which makes him pretty damn bangable.

[ozymay]

songs good but.. the vid is kinda lame

[GINGERLOVER16]

I really like this band :))

[Baquel789]

God I miss old 1997. Their new stuff is so horrible.

[gavowavo]

@Baquel789 yessss, ever since kerri left they've sucked it up

[wowbenwtf]

Such an addicting song, definitely need to download this album. The female singer is so pretty as well.

[Seanbear12]

Woooooow. True shame this band broke up

[bentcoin1]

@Seanbear12 cody and caleb are doing a new project called "concrete creeps" also they are releasing a bsides album

[xxstephaneyxx]

man i really love 1997 :D

[HOLDxYOURxHEADxHIGH]

i miss this like hell

[DorkieDorie]

They broke up.

Its on their Myspace.

I feel like crying.

I never saw them live, but I wanted to so bad.

[mattwrobel]

@DorkieDorie that sucks. I fortunately got to see them in January, right before they broke up.

[DorkieDorie]

@mattwrobel

DUDDEEEEEEE you're sooo lucky. I've been watching there videos on youtube forever and seeing how they sometimes used to come out after there shows and play a couple songs..... what a perfect band!!!

the downs to being on the west coast. they barely came to Cali

[mattwrobel]

@DorkieDorie thank god i live in Chicago. haha

[DorkieDorie]

@mattwrobel

SO LUCKY!

what an honor c:

[BoyInThePenguinPants]

what is VICTORY DOING!!!! ughhhh its making me really sad that Victory Records is getting new bands like this. It sounds ok but not as hard core as Victory Records should be! COMON!

[bentcoin1]

@BoyInThePenguinPants lol victory had tbs, hawthorne heights, june,spital field all before all their metal bands got huge and their main band is adtr ? all victory needs for a hard band is btbam and their good

[tomma232]

@bentcoin1

Victory has a hard band... Emmure.

[bentcoin1]

@tomma232 lol emmure is a bad copy of the acacia strain andm isery signals and now korn, victory has heavy bands, between the buried and me, sinai beach, used to have hatebreed, within the ruins and a whole bunch others but none of them are big really

[carmelitaorcarmen]

i own this song 1997

I really miss you guys

hey ppl weren't there 3 girls in that band??

because when i saw the video of 1997 - Hey Darlin on myspace

there was a girl that had curly hair and she was singing with the band it wasn't Alida???

[bentcoin1]

@carmelitaorcarmen only two one left i think and gt married to victories on staff designer and then the indian girl replaced her i just got off tour with 1997 so thats atleast what i was told

[XxUnendlichxX]

i never gonna tired of hear this =D

[HOLDxYOURxHEADxHIGH]

god i miss this like hell

[Silversteinrox26]

The drummer reminds me of justin long lol

[carmelitaorcarmen]

@Silversteinrox26 he does look like justin long

[theBroKenWindoW]

She's got a nice voice.

[jennybethhope]

Great song...is it just me or does the guitarist with the black and white guitar looks like the one from June?

[xinvisiblemonsters]

A Better View of the Rising Moon is an amazing album. With out a doubt one of my all time favorites<3

[prino1997]

that sucks this is my cosin's band if they breack up it will be a sad day

[HollowDolly]

ooooohh shes purrrty... :DDD

[michaelisanowl]

i dont get out this video isn't like crazy popular. this is such a great band/song/video<3

[michaelisanowl]

What's the name of the sound or instrument she's playing on the keyboard in the beginning and throughout the video? I love the sound. It's in "do better" by say Anything too. Someone please reply D:

[christianbeast]

yea my brothers friend did their photos for their last tour with chasing thrill, shut up and deal, theyre officially broken up, sucks thought theyre an amazing band.

[Lessthanperfect103]

As far as I know they didn't break up. I'll admit i haven't been up to date lately but going by their myspace and what not, they seem to be together. But i could be wrong

[XxUnendlichxX]

this is soo cold ! :D

[essassin]

this is keri's voice, the girl in the video is alida, lip syncing keri's part. arithi is the new girl who took over after alida left. but this all doesnt matter because 1997 broke up. :'(

[boog684]

they didnt break up they just got a new album and it seems like there myspace is up and working and looks normal

[essassin]

check their myspace blog...its titled "1-24-10" its basically the band telling fans the members are going their seperate musical ways.

[awthzxhi]

i dont get it,, w/'os kerri?,alida?, and arthi??,,..

w/o's d 1st secnd vocal in this band???

can u plss xplane???

and w/os the girl in ths video n w/T her nme?

[iwuvpanda]

@awthzxhi they had a different female singer for each release. kerri was first. she was the best, and sang in this song, but alida is the one who in the video. alida was second, and i would argue the worst. she didn't compliment the band. arthi is the third, and shes decent.

[carmelitaorcarmen]

awesome

[twomanybunnies]

i love this song/video :)

[sexyemokid1111]

i miss Kerri :(

AND the chick in this video is NOT Kerri!

It's Alida, who I didn't like...

she's not the one singing, though.

that's Kerri, but Alida's the one in the video.

Arthi, the new girl, is pretty fucking awesome haha

[froglicker17]

i saw this band last night!  the first time ever! they were BEAST!!

[theman1114]

new indian singer or w/e frekin sucks so frekin bad even in the video omfg

[TehRobz]

Yeah, Their new stuff is crap

[thebucketmouse]

too tru

[KRRREN]

i liked them better there, i dont like their new music :(

[TheCoastalGunner]

holy crap is sad to know that victory records used to be home to bands like ALL OUT WAR and ONE LIFE CREW and now this is the SHIT they put out now...

WAY TO SELL YOUR FUCKING SOUL TONY V!!

[thebucketmouse]

too bad no one knows who those bands are... noob

[HOLDxYOURxHEADxHIGH]

ahh i miss this like crazy

[StraylightBayside]

I drink my milk from wine glasses, too.

<3

[Hermit296]

Wow, I really miss their old female singer... *sigh* I feel like their new singer is too... I dunno, "choirish" or something, while the other made me wanna get up and dance.

[thebucketmouse]

exactly. the new girl just doesnt have the spirit that this girl had

[Elijahd785]

@thebucketmouse agreed, but notes from underground is still pretty good

[Tromben120]

Man, 1997 kicks ASS!

[jazzvixen]

Why couldn't I have cool parties like that when I was their age?

It's totally bitchin'.

[ErraticAirwaves]

I love the keyboardists dress.

(: It's adorable.

<3

The song.

It makes me happy.

[321chilamila]

[broomekb]

Anyone know what kind of hoodie the drummer is wearing (1:43) ? Or where I could find a similar one? Thanks so much!

[11austonace11]

[Kimphotog]

[luvmimuzik]

[JBoogie1357]

nick coleman you dumb bitch

[luvmimuzik]

oh thats nice :D

Fuck you.

[JBoogie1357]

i hate dumb bitches like yolu that know nothing about a band and think they are hot you should like them for the music dumb bitch

[luvmimuzik]

First of all, i never said i didnt know his name. because i already know all their names.

just because i said "the drummer" doesnt mean i dont know anything about them.

Second, its none of your damn business whether i like their music or not.

and third, :D dude you need some new cuss words cause thats like the fourth time you've called someone a dumb bitch on this page x]]

i love 1997, so go blow yourself.

[JBoogie1357]

Sick wit it dumb bitch

[thejokermakeup]

@JBoogie1357 (I'm a Guy) I agree totally with you, and I wouldn't like a girl, or anyone to like my band for anything other than my music.

[ERIKAMcCretata]

OMG!!!! I dont know his name but he is gorgeous!!(the guy singer)

[JBoogie1357]

[roll4ever360]

[juicebumps2]

Haha, indian chick. yeah i know. Alida will love to know you guys still support her tho. :) I'll make sure she knows.

[roll4ever360]

[juicebumps2]

She's my cousin.

[juicebumps2]

Haha, i will. :)

[faustie31]

[juicebumps2]

The girl in the band is my cousin Alida. :)

[TheOzymandias13]

Youtube WARS lol. this is a good song. the more I hear the more I like. a little tweeny, but solid harmony. like candy for the ears.... I hope the comment doesn't end the war lol.

[Elizaboto]

[jaimerocks15]

[hypnosoar101]

DAMMMNNN, kevin.

yuum, he got hella hotter,

especially @ warped last year,

nobody was even @ the 1997 booth,

so we got to chat it up with kev. & caleb.

<3

[vietchicken]

Yeaa i saw kevin at warped tour a year ago and he was HOTT :)

[jobrosSUCKBALLS]

okai, so its only like my 5th time lsn 2 this band... is Kevin the singer? (the dude) if so then kevin is GORGEOUS.

[Eclipseooo]

i love the beginning... lol

[Shayanderson5]

when i first saw this title i didnt expect it to be some pop/rock fluff thats for damn sure...

[Felocoventura]

oh, I looked up hawthorn heights to check out why a small handful of ppl like it... and in 3 songs I summed up I find it sucks, but it''s not the STYLE of music... it's just how the band does it. Either way, is that song from a while ago that goes like "and we'll have halloween on Christmas, and in the end, we'll wish it never ends" from HH?

[Felocoventura]

^^^^^^^^^^ my bad, it was by Blink 182. I don't specificly like it alot, I kinda digged it in the 4th grade, but I thought it was by HH so thats why I was curious.

[lezza13]

no you idiot thats "i miss you" from blink -182

[Felocoventura]

yeah, out of all the shit I know, Im an idiot just because I didn't know that little fact? Well, bitch, Blink 182, and u both suck more cock than makes up sufficiently for 3 whores, so now that i've looked up the lyrics, and found out long before this, go listen to your faggoty ass Hawthorn Heights. Whoever enjoys hawthorn heights is either completely drunk, high on lsd, blind, deaf, retarded, and have a completely bad judgement of what any pleasent sound IS... or... well... its one of those

[jobrosSUCKBALLS]

or how about you fuck off with you ass hole comments and go lsn 2 the crap you listen to, only cunt face people like you feel the need to come and insult bands/ their fans because asses like you have no lives.

[Felocoventura]

I didn't just come to insult princess, I came to check out Hawthorn Heights to check out if it was good. I heard 'I miss you' back in 4th grade and I didn't remember exactly why I thought Hawthorn Heights was similar. Now I asked a question and you gave me disapointance in humanity. Now just because I don't flow HH doesn't mean I might not even listen to some band you worship. So I've seen your picture and you appear to be a little girl, so please, stop bothering me midget whore.

[jobrosSUCKBALLS]

do you honestly think i give a fuck what you came here for? or what bands you lsn to, if all you wanted to ask your question was this:

'go listen to your faggoty ass Hawthorn Heights. Whoever enjoys hawthorn heights is either completely drunk, high on lsd, blind, deaf, retarded, and have a completely bad judgement of what any pleasent sound IS... or... well... its one of those' really necassary? and now im not a little girl, nor a midget nor a whore, i just havent changed my prof pic in a while

[Felocoventura]

I don't give a fuck WHAT you give or not. For all I care your mother sexually abuses you with an ironer, socket wrench, and a fucking banana. But if your gonna complain, and bitch about my mistaking 'missing you' as a HH song, instead of an 187 song, then you deserve to shoot heroin into your grandma because your whole damn family should be torched for allowing your mangy ass to touch a keyboard. And okay, your profile pic looks nice.

[looking4truthLOST]

lol dood was way off lmao hh sound like blink 182?? hrmmm.......

[jerrytimes]

I'm sorry to be a downer, but this is garbage. I'm really open to different music but come on.

[pinotostado]

Nah, I dont like this kind of music but, its a fun song and very optimistic.

[supergeno7]

i hope its about sex

alida is a goddess

[icetrey87]

She's super hot but she's not as good a singer as Keri was.

[smilingteaser]

love it

[rdystdygo]

this is about jesus' love for us not sex

[zombiedollie]

LOL

[TheYuggernaut]

The beginning of the song is about sex, and the girl not wanting to do it, but she loves him so she is.

[dontjudgeme]

I don't know. I agree that the song's about sex but there seems to be hesitation and guilt on both sides. ("Turn the lights off. I don't want to see myself doing this."... "Is this really what you want from me?") In the end, I feel like they don't follow through. Though they definitely want closeness, they "turn the lights on," get out of there and take it slow, unlike how they've loved the others in the past.

[letdeuceloose]

this is a great band

[limoncello182]

i think this song is about sex

"did he asked you, like i asked you, it's our first time"

[luckyjol]

ur totally homo... it isnt about sex!!

[XxUnicornpixaladexX]

i love the riff

[bstumpy2]

this is an amazing blend of styles! very original! alida is gorgeous

[estabonbabe]

i love this song so much!! i listened to this song so many times and i really dont think its going to get old!!!

[iluvboyslikegirls101]

1997 is amazing.

I love this song.

They're great. :].

ilove1997.
