I'm just leaving this comment here. So that a month, a year, or a decade down the line if someone likes or comments on this thread, I can relive this song. Timeless.

When i was younger an art teacher told me that once we grow up we dont look at the sky anymore. So now i look up at the sky everyday and i appreciate life.

Dear future me, Whether this is to future me in a month, a year, or even 10 years I hope you remember. Remember who you are. Don’t let the flame die out even though at the time of this message it’s just a few embers. Do not let addiction, self doubt, and depression stomp out the flame. Remember that when everything seems dark that maybe, just maybe we are the light. Future self don’t like the light die out because that’s all we have an if we lose the light we will have let ourselves die somewhere deep down inside of ourself. And if you don’t want to fight for yourself, remember when we were a kid. That little kid version of ourself is always there watching as we continue to struggle and let the flame die. He will always be there to provide the embers needed to fuel a roaring flame. Remember who you are future self. With hope, Me from 2024

Didn’t knew people were this lonely. I am more of a stressed person so the first time I heard this song gave me relief. But I realised that I am so lucky that I have people who love me and care about me every day. I hope you find your peace and happiness . Love you all

"And I wish I could change, but I'll probably just stay the same" Big mood my man. Big mood.

This is my most favorite comment section to read on KZfaq. Its like reading a book about how all the people in the world feel, and that makes me feel a little less lonely. I love all of you guys. Whoever is reading this, i love you and I wish you a long and happy life full of warmth.

This song makes me put my phone on my stomach and lie down on me bed and just listen while staring at the ceiling with an empty mind. No worries, stress, feeling.

It’s 3:19 in the morning. I’m rocking my 2 1/2 month old son to sleep to this song for the i don’t know how manyith time. Some where in the 6 minuets and 52 seconds of the song we both find ourselves calming and connecting, and he inevitably falls into a deep sleep on my chest. His perfect little eyelashes resting on his perfect little cheeks I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it.

Can someone like this a couple months from now so I can see if I’ve gotten better

i love how we all wish we knew each other

The nice thing about listening to this kind of music is coming here late night and get to read people’s thoughts and experiences, I love how everyone feel so comfortable to let out what they are experiencing in like , I love it when they let out what’s happening in their lives as this song plays , I love how they wrote to their future selves and with hopes of coming back here and seeing how much they have grown , and coming back here to remember how life has changed , as they say music is timeless , and it’s amazing to see people go through memory lane and remember the first time they had these. Life happens so fast , sometimes we never know what the other person is going through , show love to people you meet you never know when you can make anyone’s day , you don’t know how many lives you could save by just being nice…

You don't know me Cause I'm from a different age And you can't see me Cause I live in a different age And you could hurt me But you wouldn't know what to say But you should believe me Our dreams are all the same Like a life without love God that's just insane But a love without life That shit happens every day And I wish I could change But I'll probably just stay the same And I wish you could sing along But this song is a joke And the melody I wrote wrong Oh you can't hear me Cause I sing to a different age And you should fear me Cause I believe in a different age But I live in a city That lives in a different age Oh I live in a city That lives in a different age Where all the punks are writing memoirs And I'm still singing songs Oh all the punks ar e writing memoirs And I'm still singing songs They say theirs nothing left for you hear kid Why don't you just go home They say this city is useless We've already done it all Oh all the punks are writing memoirs And I'm still singing songs And I wish you could sing along But this song is a joke and the melody I wrote wrong

I dont know what's wrong with me I just feel like I'm just wasting my life everyday by just being here . I feel like I'm waiting for something to happen but nothing ever does. Edit: I read all the comments and I wanna thank you all for sharing your experiences with me and too others. Slowly everything started to become better no more sucidal thoughts .I became happier. Now I'm here I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life. Just stay focused on yourself and nobody else because your more important than anybody else.❤️(Go out there do something, fuck everybody else go do whatever you want to do because the world is yours) If your in your high school worrying about what others think about you... Just remember your never going to see those people in 4 years.(Enjoy right now today, go be crazy, go out at night, get in trouble just go live life even if your alone ) (If you're going through something you can always comment and talk to me I'm always on here anyway ❤️ ) Edit: you can always talk to me about anything you want no matter how small it is I'm always going to be here with you trust me if others don't care about you I'll be here taking care of you guys. Msg me for literally anything you need and ill respond.

This makes me wanna move into a small town and be a kid riding a bike down the street again.

I’ve had this in my head for a week now, this isn’t meant to be the best song in the world. It’s not meant to be perfect. It’s not made to get views. This is pain at its finest, stuck in the past, attached to what could’ve been and what you are now, the chorus is the same over and over to represent the loop of the same mindset and thought process you had since then and now. Beautiful work. Everyone has their own meanings to music and some just to pass time. Rasp in the voice is passion, grunge in the beat is anger, and melody in the instrument is emotional movement.

I once dated a girl for almost 7 years and she showed me this song when she used to hurt and cry and I would hold her and cry with her. Just remembering how this song made us feel bringing us together, how it’d make us feel pure bliss. Now I lay here in my bed in the dark just silently crying away wishing she’d come back to me. I hope one day she’ll be in my arms again listening to this song with me happily.💔

Ah yes, my favourite genre of music:depression

this song makes me want to just go outside in the middle of the night and run away. to where, im not sure. but somewhere else.

You ever realize you’re always there for everyone but you’re never really there for yourself and no one’s ever there for you?

I had a breakdown recently, sitting on the bathroom floor. I was in a state of dissociation listening to music. This song suddenly came and I couldn't stop the tears that came after. All those pent-up emotions kept pouring in and the tears didn't stop.

sobbing in my room at 3 am making weird tiny wheezing and sniffling noises because you dont want to wake up your parent vibes.

I wish I didn't make so many mistakes, tried harder in school, paid attention to the small things.

This song will forever stick with me. I found it in the midst of an awful situation. When I hear it, everything lays out in front of me. The friends I've gained and lost. The abuse I lived through and escaped. Every good and bad. My scars, physical or not. It brings me a gut-twisting comfort. If youre reading this... it gets better. You will heal. It's tough, I know. It seems like you'll never get your happy ending. That's just because nothing ends. Chin up, stranger. Your crown is slipping.

I’m in the army and and going through a drinking problem, fiancé cheated on me a year ago, grandma has cancer, and suffering with mass depression. This isn’t music it’s art about life.

whoever reading this; u have a very good taste in music

If you think the comments are sad, just imagine those who don't know how to properly write down their feelings, the ones who stay silent because they don't know how to be anything but silent.

The second I saw this video, I felt so drawn to the silhouette. His hair, the way he holds his guitar, the way he sways and rocks. It reminds me so much of him. I'll never love anyone as much as I loved you. I wish you hadn't done it. Rest in peace

5 years later and this song still slaps

this is the most heartbreaking yet wholesome comment section i’ve ever seen

this is my ex's favorite song. He used to say that it isn't a sad song but a beautiful song that makes you feel a lot. He was right. Sometimes I come back to this song and think of him. I hope u are doing well. I love you forever.

Honestly I don't even know if people are still want to say this! I feel like this song is just like lying down in your bed at night and you're just staring at the ceiling thinking about everything... Life, friends, memories, what could have been, etc. And it's just that so many things are hitting you at once it just starts to make you cry and everything you've been thinking about just floats in the air and the more you think and just lay and stare at the ceiling it just starts to get emotional? Honestly that's just what hits me when I first listened to it; Also I hope whoever reads this I hope you know that I'm proud of you right now for all the hard working you have done? You have done the best that you could and kept on trying!!! And it's ok to get tired or feel like you can't go on but always know to go on ok?

Its 12:00 AM. It’s Christmas right now and I don’t feel anything. I don’t feel the spirit. I’m fourteen years old and I wish to be 8 years old again. I hate how I always wanted to grow up faster. I miss believing in Santa. I miss the giggles I had as a child. I miss it all

dear future me, I hope things got better and that you’re okay.

* in tears * anybody else love the feeling of discovering a new song that feels like you just found your soulmate

This song is beautiful. I've been feeling the blues for quiet a few days.. and was in search of that perfect song, scrolling through the sad song playlists, finally came across this. I don't know why this brought tears in my eyes. It's so hard, this feeling of numbness, the sense of self worthlessness, self hate, blaming myself, guilt talking to myself... all this is so suffocating.

It's not depression to me. It comforts me

that's crazy, so many people listening to this song, having different stories and yet, we all feel so lonely & empty. i really wish i could give yall a hug. things will get better

This song isn't popular because most people who enjoy it don't have anyone to share it with.

There’s nothing more sad then hearing all the laughs and conversations outside your room while your in stuck in your head trying to crawl out of your skin

This song helped me through the worst period of my life and now I just vibe with it in a whole different way. Both amazing.

When we were young, we would cry at night and wake our family up and let them take care of us til we fall asleep again. Now, we just cry, muffled sobs and tiny whimpers, trying to let out all the sadness and keeping it to ourselves at the same time.

This song was playing while the girl of my dreams and I were having a conversation on our break up while laying down on my bed, it was a calm regular talk about how we were basically done and probably never going to see each other again and keep in mind she was next to me with the lights turned off and I swear I felt like she was so far away yet we were inches apart. My heart felt shattered, I had lost my person...my favorite person. I miss her so much and listening to this song just breaks my heart even more but damn I love this song.

this is one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard

Mental illness has destroyed my life. Depression and anxiety killed me. My heart is still beating but I feel this overwhelming sadness. Anxiety and depression are real, they are horrific. I’ve almost died due to my issues. Most of the time I wish I had. The pain is unbearable. Somehow I keep going. I don’t know why because I’m alone. Or should I say lonely. It been years since I last hugged somebody. Maybe one day I’ll be able to say the pain was worth it. Honestly I don’t even know if I’ll see another year. I just want to be happy. I just want somebody to love me…

Days ago it was my birthday, i waited until midnight. So i played this song and started dancing in my room, alone, i had a moment just for me. For a person of a different age.

You know that feeling where you’re just lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, in the dark, and you just think. For some reason, you want to cry, but you can’t. So, you just lay there, with your eyes open.

i keep coming back here again and again

My very manly-man of a stepdad sent this to me with no context. I’d never head this song before this moment. Idk how to feel whether hope or pain or love for this man who has stepped in where my father couldn’t for whatever reason. Whether it be inspiration or regret over all the times I’ve failed myself and/or family. Also made me realize that even though my stepdad is a stereotypical man at times, he too feels. God bless this man. Thank you for sending me this

Can we just all be friends? I’m so sick of not having anyone to talk to and relate with my music taste 🌧 2020 Edit: It’s been a year and I almost forgot about this song. I’ve read all your replies and all I can say is thank you. I haven’t been doing so good but being able to receive this love meant the world to me :) 2021 Edit: wow, 2 years... I don’t really like coming back to this song anymore cause it reminds me of some sad memories. Life’s been incredibly cruel with my mom getting cancer, this pandemic going on, losing friends, and a many other stuff, but I still try to find little things to be thankful for. I’m glad someone commented here recently and it notified my account. The camaraderie you guys continue to show in the replies truly made me smile again and is so inspiring :) 2023 Edit: went through my old playlists and I instantly remembered this little comment of mine when this song started playing! If you’ve seen this comment before I hope you’ll be glad to know that I’m genuinely happier now! Life still has its tough moments but I feel like I'm at a better place now. I don’t get sad listening to this song anymore. Instead, I kinda feel prideful because, although it reminds me of painful memories, it also makes me realize how I was able to survive them all. Hope you guys are doing well too :))!

I’ve been a caregiver for four years, working 80-100 hour weeks while going to school full time. Everyone always asked me why I kept doing it, but it always seemed so obvious to me, just to do the right thing, because I loved this man, I would’ve done anything for him. He died on Friday. I didn’t know what to do. I just drove around and listened to this song. I stopped at a parking lot in a park, got black out drunk, I looked at the river and decided this was it, I am going to jump. But I just wanted to listen to this song one last time, it was so beautiful. I read these comments, how all these people feel like they can change the world with this song, I thought about my life, about grad school, about my fiancé, about him. Is this really what they would want, why am I doing this? I just kept playing this song on repeat until I fell asleep on this cliff. Even though it was February it was still beautiful, the water still flowing and unfrozen. My phone was dead but I was still humming this song to myself as I drove back home, ready to take on life again, ready for a new age.

This is the kind of music I live for. It perfectly sums up feelings that need a lot more than just words to convey. Kind of feels like part of a personal soundtrack to the background of life and for that reason I've got a feeling this is one that will be on my playlist when I'm old and destitute.

I remember when I discovered this song, I cried myself out, I was indeed in a very dark phase of my short life, now 2 years later I come here for enjoying this marvellous song and feelings it produces, a mix of melancholy, emptiness but fullness at the same time, such a piece of art. When I think about the lyrics, specially the beginning I find myself, feeling different, with different dreams that the people my age have, differents points of view but at the end it is true that we all want the same, happiness, joy what’s different is where we find it

i wish i never lost that spark i had as a child. i don't know where it went... and i wonder if it will ever come back...

I remember listening to this song when it first came out with my girlfriend, and pouring my eyes out while she held me. She knew how bad I wanted to kill myself. I’ve always considered myself strong but it felt like I was already dead, I gave up & felt that despair of never getting better. It’s been over 2 years since then. I’m listening to this song now while simultaneously watching that same girlfriend hold our daughter to soothe her. I cried so hard bro, cause I fucking made it and I felt so happy that I kept fighting. I hope anyone who’s listening to this song right now feeling despair keeps fighting too. It gets better homie, I promise. Rest In Peace Satchel Tucker.

As I lay myself against the shower and hit my cart with this on full volume on my phone, I wish I hadn’t gave her up

This song helped me get through the toughest time of my life, when I had dire Rea and bloody sharts. I played this song for my sister while she was in a coma. Miraculously, she woke up and started shaking her ass. Thank you Current Joys 🙏💗

This comment section, I wish this could be a physical space not just virtual.

I've isolated myself so much that I forgot how to have relationships

When I was young, I had a dream of never experiencing regret and being grateful for the path I chose, indeed naive, and now I am in a position where I want to go back to the past and change my mistakes. Maybe I'm on a path I didn't want, the only motivation for me now is there is no way back but to pass through a different path to achieve the same goal. me from 2024

Woow... It's been 4 years since I met Nick and this beautiful project "Current Joys"... Like many here, I met him luckily at the lowest moment of my life, when I was alone, lost, afraid and in the dark. Nick, his art saved my life, changed my life, every time I played his music it was like an embrace of empathy and love for my soul. Today, now, on my way back home from his concert in CDMX I decided to listen to Different Age just to relive those seconds at the concert, something I had been waiting for years, and I started to read the comments, where I saw myself 4 years ago, it was my dream to listen to him and see him do his art on stage. I was able to meet him, talk to him, hug him, thank him for EVERYTHING, for existing, for making me who I am, because without him I would not see things the way I see them today. I wonder if he realizes all the lives he has saved. It is incredible and very beautiful to think that he has saved so many people. I am here now, just to say... that things will not always be this way, things will not always be bad, you will not always feel this way. Find refuge in what you love the most. Growing up is not easy, for no one it is, YOU ARE NOT ALONE, embrace with all your heart what makes you who you are and never forget to LIVE. We are moments, we are a mere blink of an eye in time, enjoy and be happy whenever you can, and when you can't, stay strong until you weather the storm, you will be OK. I SEND YOU A HUG

Once you realize nothing makes sense, everything makes sense..

I'm so sad because we all seem to be so sad

Listening to this song make me feel like if I was accompany to myself when I was just a teenager (a hard period in my life). When I was 14/15 years old I used to imagine that someone hugged me before I fall asleep. This song it's like I could give me that hug and tell her that all the pain that I was suffering, was real. I feel in peace with myself, and I find it really beautiful. To all the people reading this, believe me when I say that there's always someone who cares about you (family, friends, or a future version of yourself). Mental health matters!!!!!!! Don't be afraid to ask for help, your feelings are real!!!!!!! I'm sure someday you could find all the peace that you deserve. Take care!!!! 💜💜💜

Perfect song to chill at night to with smoke n wine at hand alone gazing at the stars n reflecting about life.

Currently Listening to this on my birthday while no one Remembered and siting on the roof watching the full moon

For those who want to sing!!! Oh, you don't know me 'cause I'm from a different age And you can't see me 'cause I live in a different age And you can hurt me but you wouldn't know what to say But you should believe me, our dreams are all the same Like a life without love God, that's just insane But a love without a life Well, that just happens everyday And I wish I could change But I'll probably just stay the same And I wish you could see the Lord But this song is a joke and the melody I wrote wrong! Oh, you can't hear me 'cause I sing to a different age And you should fear me 'cause I believe in a different age But I live in the city that lives in a different age Oh, I live in a city that lives in a different age Where all the poets are writing memoirs And ours just singing songs Oh, all the poets are writing memoirs And ours just singing songs This city's got nothing for you here, kid Oh, I told you just go home They're saying this city is useless But we've already done it all Oh, all the poets are writing memoirs And ours just singing songs And I wish you could see the Lord But this song is a joke and the melody I wrote wrong!

Bookingmarking this and I will come back in 10 years if I'm still alive

I really got into Current Joys during peak COVID 2020 and 2021 lockdowns. It greatly resonated with me, and tbh it still does.

Everyone’s talking about getting better in some way, but I still feel like I’m not going to make it another year. I suppose in a year if someone likes this comment if I’m still here I’ll check out this song and comment to see if I’ve improved. Much love to y’all having a hard time out there. Edit: It has been 1 year since I made this comment. In that year I had a suicide attempt that came very close to working after some personal issues came up, and I had to learn to live in my own body. I am currently a month away from going to college and am excited about that prospect. My mood has improved due to continuing mandated therapy, though I've lost many friends this year. I hope you all are doing better than last year, though I understand if you are not. It took me nine years of continually worsening months to finally have a day where I can say I do not want to die. Much love to everyone out there and I hope you guys will be doing or are doing better.

If you’re reading this late at night and your life isn’t going to well I want you to know from the bottom of my heart it gets better maybe for awhile maybe for only a second but any true happiness you can find is a truly special thing in this strange world we all live in together, In the end I want you to know that I care about even if it seems like no one else does

My roommate asked me why I like this song so much and why I have it on repeat most of the time.Here's why: It begins slowly and steadily. Slow and steady could refer to my mental stability at the moment. As the song progresses, new sounds and musical instruments are introduced, which can be interpreted as the voices in my head becoming louder. Finally, it reaches a point of composition in which only loud music surrounds me.The first time I heard those songs, my mind went blank, and I felt at peace. When the music was loud, I was immersed in the screaming sound of that guitar and no longer heard those voices inside my head.That is why this song will always have a special place in my heart.

I discovered this song two years ago, back when I was going through the worst possible period of my life. My family was a mess, my friends betrayed me in the worst way possible just for fun, lost a dear loved one and the love of my life ruined any hope that was left in me. I tried to leave this world, but fortunately I rope broke. Then I sat on my pc, turned on youtube and algorithm blessed me with this song. I just sat there and wondered that if I would have succeeded, this song would have never reached me. Slowly but surely I found other things in this world that made me happy. Today I stand in very better position. Thanks to this song. Remember guys, anything you are going through will one day be just a thing in the past. Stay strong and I promise things will finally start to look better. I love you all. I wish for your well being.❤

Please don’t take the people around you for granted. Be positive and always think with a glass half full, because tomorrow might not be there. If you want to say words you’ve been holding back, say them, it feels good to get feelings off of your chest. You’re strong to talk about your feelings/problems but it’s harder to not talk about them at all. I genuinely care about all of you. Anyone who reads this I truly love you no matter what your going through.

Update: I’m feeling better now Update: it didn't last, Im a diagnosed alcoholic now

I remember during an acid trip, my ex and I climbed into the car.. he was obviously sober.. to drive to a gas station to get water, I had all the windows down and this song on loud and I could literally FEEL this song. One of my favorite moments on this time line

I never thought i would find a song that describes life as well as this one does, life goes on, no matter what we do or say life stays the same, just has different outcomes, all i gotta say is, for whoever decides one day you don't feel like yourself, just remember that there are people who care, people who will remember you when youve forgotten yourself

and here i lay crying to this sad song about a girl who never loved me in the first place.

A constant endless cycle of numbness, sadness, anger, annoyance and manic episodes. I'm tired. My mind and body are tired of doing nothing but completely unmotivated to get going. I've dug myself out of a pit before, i can do it again. I got this

i stumbled upon this song a few years ago, when I was 9. This song helped me through depression and it still does.

Hace poco se presento en mi ciudad, meses atras habia planeado llevar a mi hijo de 13 pero al final decidi darle mi boleto a su mama. Mis oidos de poco mas de 40 no lograron escuchar las melodias de este chico pero que mas da, me quedo con la satisfacción que otras personitas hayan disfrutado ese concierto. Saludos a todos y que viva la musica bien hecha!

isnt it weird that there's a chance me and you meet eachother some day in the future? the chances are slim but they're still there. edit: woah, you guys are so swag :) another edit lmao, thank you for the compliments y’all are making my days😭🤚

I’m a loner. I always have been. Even when I’m with someone I’m not there . It’s always been like that

I discovered Current Joys in 2021. And that's one of the only good things that happened to me that year. I was in a deep depression and it felt like I was never going to recover from it but I'm still here and Nick's partially responsible for that. This song struck a chord with me especially and the entire album was a great outlet for me to process whatever was going on with me mentally.

I just found my old diaries from my elementary school era. I’m listening to this song during reading my old memories. The time when everything was full filled with joy.

In case anyone likes this comment after a long time,I wanna come back here and listen to this song 🖤

this is a song i would've found and sent to my dad at 2 am and we would have talked about how powerful even just the body language of the shadow was. we always shared our love for music, and this song he would love but i haven't seen or talked to him in three years. I hope where ever you are, you find this song and love it just as much as i love it

This song made the dark times lighter. It makes me realize that sometimes falling in life is not that bad we just need to get up stronger.

Thank you for this. Ive been sober for 7 months and your music has helped, this song specifically.

different age, different time, different lives, different situations, different hearts, different minds but somehow, a moment in time, we shared something together. we had the same love for each other. in that moment in time, we weren’t different. in that moment in time, we were one.

current joys makes songs that feel like that feeling you can never quite explain

what a feeling

The vibe of this song is timeless

Beers for everyone, cigars for those who smoke and hugs for the ones who need them

When you feel alone and then you look at the comments and realize everybody also feels alone. And that doesn’t make you feel as lonely anymore

"I wish I could change, but I'll probably just stay the same" every sentence are touchy but this one between me and my heart "-3

I just randomly found this song just now but after listening to it once it immediately became my favorite song and will still remain as my favorite forever.

I want to tell you guys that I just love you ! Here we all for short time! This song hit so different !

I just discovered this song and immediately saved it in my playlist. Writing my novella, setting a scene when two people in love are just taking in each other's presence, late night lighting in my room...this is just perfect❤
