so, this is where all the lonely people hang out... nice

I wish I was important for someone

You know you're a loner when you spend your weekends listening to Current Joys, smoking weed, taking long walks and studying.

my mental health has been horrible in quarantine, and i feel like this describes how i’m feeling :/ music is my escape

future me is probably crying to this song

u see if i wasn’t up and sad at 3 in the morning I wouldn’t find such great songs jokes on u insomnia

It's so hard to stop listening to this song

Current joys has just been the soundtrack of my life lately, and, I don’t know if that’s a good thing

Living a sad, lonely, and happy life

anyone wanna stay up with me until 3in the morning crying to this song?

“It’s so hard to stop.” I felt that, as someone who struggles with self harm, it is. But it’ll get better for anyone reading this. I love you.

I lost my cat and my girlfriend in the same week and when I listened to this song, I just started sobbing. Recovery is a long process for anything. I hope everyone is well. Love you all. -Wessel

Me on a Saturday night: happy Me on a Sunday night: wanting to die and crying my eyes out.

I make others and myself laugh so often, sometimes I forget how much I hate my life. And myself. Music like this reminds me of who I truly am. It reminds me of how I truly feel. Edit: wow a lot has changed in these two years, damn. To clarify things, because people still keep responding, I'm doing much better now. I went through what was necessary for me to start my life from the start. Things aren't going perfect, but I know that's just part of life and it's cool yk? If my dumbass could survive all that shit, you can too.

It’s painful to say goodbye to someone you don’t want to let go... But it’s more painful to ask someone to stay when you know they want to leave

I'm best friend's with this guy. All throughout high school if we ever needed someone, we would go to each other. I've known him for 13 years. It sounds weird but you could say we have a deep bond and we even dated in the past.. but it wasn't the right time. Anyway we graduated last year, he was my date to prom. He's always there for me. I feel so disappointed with myself now because his girlfriend is pregnant and I'm so happy for them. Honestly. But there's apart of me that wishes I just said yes to him right away instead of saying nothing. Fuck... I can't help but feel I've missed out on what could've been the best years of my life. Now whenever I see him, I always think of what could've been, and how stupid I was.

LYRICS: I never felt it when I was young I never knew where it came from Now I feel it like a hurricane And it's so hard to stop the rain It's so hard to stop the rain It's so hard to stop Starts out gold, but never stays The neon takes my breath away And now I feel it in my veins But I don't want to be afraid I don't want to live this way I don't want you to leave

I’m 2 years late to such a beautiful song but I found it when I needed it most

this is the kinda song that makes you want to lay in bed and hug your pillow while crying your eyes out. this is the song that makes you lay in bed and hug your pillow while crying your eyes out.

does anyone else just feel so sad you cant cry anymore? and because of that you use songs that remind you of your repressed memories to cry because like same

Whenever i hear this, i wanna Share everything this song makes me feel but nobody ever listens or understands. Makes me kind of alienated idk

Reading all of these comments makes me feel understood and not so alone, so whoever reads this: you're not the only one and I wish you luck with your life, plus you have a great music taste. Edit: Wow I didn't expect this to get so much attention. I'm glad to hear from everyone who commented that this made you feel even a little bit better :)

im still here and i still listen to this every day. i just plug in my earbuds and go about my day with this on, letting the song play for hours on repeat. this is the song of my life and it will never get old to me. its been a year.

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.....

It starting to get so bad. It's 4 am. I woke up and couldn't continue sleeping. It's Monday. I have online classes. I didn't study anything. I couldn't. I couldn't concentrate. I have nobody. Nobody can rely on. I opened up to a stranger who I have known for only 2 hours. Nobody knows ab how I feel. My parents are making it even worse by telling me my attitude is getting worse, which makes me hate myself even worse. And for who am I living. For my family ig. Bc I don't want to make them sad. I'm always in my room bc I don't want them to see me at my lowest point, but they think it's bc I don't like spending time with them.

this song hurts my heart so badly but I love it so much

2024 People? 18 likes I'm so popular

currently getting drunk to this song

i do not have hope for any relationship after hearing these two new songs

so empty and lost. this song is my only escape. thank you current joys. maybe i’ll still be listening to this in a couple years. maybe i’ll finally be happy then. someone pls interact so i can remeber this comment.

She just doesn't put in as much effort as I do and I feel like I'm wasting my time but I'm blinded by my love for her

Of course, I’ve had friends. They would just rather hang out without me. It’s my fault really, I never made an effort to change this anyways. I guess I had just always expected it would come naturally-that they would invite me. But, wait and wait I did, and nothing; nothing happened. I don’t think they’ll remember me.

My best friend introduced me to Current Joys. He always told me how this would always clear his mind; how it would always make things better. I never understood how music could do such a thing. And one night, I put Current Joys on and Fear was the first song that played... and then I completely understood what he meant. This will always make me cry, but deep down I knew things would get better. I love playing this music when we’re off to long trips. Thank you, Current Joys.

Nick Rattigan you musical genius!

She broke my heart and left me alone to make my hands bleed picking up all the pieces. Finally glued everything back together after months just for someone else to break it once again.

I love the visuals of this, my man's just pouring his heart out on the drums and everyone is just stone faced and emotionless. It can be taken so many different ways, maybe its supposed to be his fear that no one will like his art? Maybe it's a supposed to show how emotionally distant those around him are? Maybe it's just showing his fear of social rejection and what would happen if he tried sharing his passion with others? Such a simple video with so much emotional potential Or perhaps it'd just three am and I'm wishing I wouldn't wake up tomorrow? Honestly it might be all the above.

I hope noone who knows me finds this comment - never before watered and felt so much to song as with this one. crazy how you can stumble randomly over something without expecting a thing. bittersweet, thats the word and feel.

I'm currently on a two-week ''break'' in my relationship, and it already feels like a break up. I'm on and off with tearing up at home and work. I'm stacking my thoughts with activities to keep my coping. It hurts. The song helps me through and the video really resonates with my emotions of it. When the drummer goes hard at the end, and just looks exhausted and done, that really hit me. I feel like I'm in a roller coaster where I'm looping up and down constantly. Moments where I'll be at the top edge, screaming, ''I am not okay. I'm hurting''. Then, in other moments, where it's slowing down- making me feel like everything will be okay.

Keep on crying it's okay.

their instrumental every song after chorus always hit me.

cried to this last night, such a beautiful song.

i cannot express how much i love this song

the fact that music is the only thing making me happy and keeping me alive is sad but im comfortable with it knowing that at least i have this.

I would kill for a glass of water

This song is addictive

This scene exploded/started here in socal when I was 16-21. This song went so hard in my early 20’s.

Thank you Current, your songs helped me a lot in bad days, though they are coming back.

Can't wait for what current joys/surf curse has to offer 2018 🎸

I love the whole theme . It's like a 80s scary movie except it displays my feelings so perfect

I'm glad i'm not seeing any " CaMe HeRe frOM TIKTOK" comments

Depression is like a cut on your finger it hurts , they come and go , yet we continue to live our lives the same /:

Happy 2023 in tears

During an intense period of depression, this one and Way Out Here were on constant rotation. Doing much better now (so grateful for psychiatric medication), but I still love them. Thanks Nick ♥️

i was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him

I'm listening to random music on autoplay while studying and most of the music is just going through one ear and out the other. But as soon as I started to hear this one I stopped what I was doing and added it to my playlist. It just hits different in a beautiful way.

I just wanted to stop and say that your music has helped me through so much, and that I’m so excited to hear more from you 💛

"Starts out gold but never stays" 💔

You've literally guided me through my own convoluted life in ways I could have never mentally or emotionally have gone through myself. Thank you for creating the art you have using the words you deciphered from your beautiful heart Nick. Thank you

She sayd yes, finally. Wish y'all the best.❤️

Surf Curse and Current Joys, the only bands that make me want to move back to LA.

It's weird, sad songs like this makes me feel happy and sad at the same time

songs like these are time travel machines

She doesn't know that I'm going thousands of kilometers away, and that every night I listen to this song until the day of my departure waiting for something that will never happen...

...SCROLL DOWN I LOVE YOU YOU GOT THIS DON'T GIVE UP

I never felt it when I was young I never knew where it came from Now I feel it like a hurricane And it's so hard to stop the rain It's so hard to stop the rain It's so hard to stop Starts out gold, but never stays The neon takes my breath away And now I feel it in my veins But I don't want to be afraid I don't want to live this way I don't want you to leave

This song reminds me of my best friend. He died in 2020. He showed me current joys in 2016. Long live ezra

Funny how I found this song... a few months ago I would sleep with the youtube music app opened at night beside my bed. I remember waking up out of nowhere, it was 4 am. I heard a soothing song that called my attention and you know how you hear everything more clearly and a bit louder when you wake up? it just hit me when I heard it and it felt really nostalgic. Just remember saving the song and going back to sleep again. Leaving youtube music with random music made me discover great songs like this one.

Glad I found someone new I'll know I'll continue to check in with throughout the rest of my life

No need to Fear, Current Joys is here

nick is fucking talented, love both current joys and surf curse. songs make me realize how i truly feel about myself.

A time of my life where I listened to this everyday

Instantly made 2018 so much better

i love this band... i want to fly away and get lost...

I first found this song when I was in downtown at 8 pm. There was snow everywhere and I was exhausted because of how much emotional, mental and physical pain I was in but had to hide to make everyone happy. 3 hours or less of sleep, memory loss and more. I was thinking of genuinely dying that night and finally earning some peace, but I knew it wasn't a good idea. Im still in pain and nothing has changed but the memory loss has helped me think it has gotten better. I think there is a future where i am happy and living properly. Future me is hopefully living her best life :)

I'm 8 seconds in this song and I'm already in love

David Dean Burkhart brought me here, love it.

I feel like these songs make me feel understood. Like I understand the type of emotions he’s feeling because I’ve felt the same. And it’s really lonely because not many understand what you feel deep inside

Happiness is ephemeral. But this feeling, this desire to step away from all the things that make you who you are, and everything that you can't love anymore? Interminable.

Anyone listening in 2024

Fear of growing up, fear of reality, man o man this whole year of 2019 is such a life lesson, I thought things would ease up, but seems like I gotta leash it up. I knew ever since I turned 18 life was gonna plummet like a trench with a never ending obyss, I miss when ignorance was bliss! I steady ask my self what is this, or why is this happening! But idk I'll be ok ig.

We are forever bonded through music.

Nobody asked but here's a story time: When I was in fifth grade I moved in with my mom and away from my popularity and friends. I discovered I had social anxiety and now I'm stuck like that. Fifth grade was epic and some of the best moments of my life. Most Feild trips felt nostalgic and weird,yet I was extremely happy. Near the end my best friend left me for the popular girls. I was so confused we had a perfect relationship and all of a sudden she ignored me. Then one Feild trip she told me she was jealous of me and thought I liked her crush and I didn't know what to say. He was one of the people helping me through hard times and the main person I hang with because of her. Im currently her friend now but I don't like how she acted towards me for that boy. Tbh I thought he looked ok but I didn't like him. In the beggining of 6th grade her crush gave me notes every morning I was confused. Then he asked me out and k rejected. But then I look back on what the notes where saying and he asked how I was feeling and added funny jokes to the cover of the paper to make me smile. I caught feelings for him but after awhile I didn't feel like it anymore because we don't see eachother. Hoped you liked my story :,)

I don’t cry when I listen to these songs or feel hopeless I’m used to this lonely feeling I’ve learned a lot in high school I made good friends experience happy moments, love, loss, and failure learn a lot in love and to just let go when it doesn’t work out “if it fails it wasn’t love to begin with” that always sticks to me I’ve been with 4 girls but I had serious relationships with 2 and I was in loved but it didn’t last one simply didn’t feel the same and the other thought I was talking to another it hurt and took awhile to get over this and in the end I got use to being alone I always play these type of songs and sit outside in the afternoon on the way home from school and at night outside I’m almost out of high school I’m 18 I’m happy with myself and learned to live with this lonely feeling of not being important to someone else and I won’t lie to you I feel sad when I see other people happy with their beloved and it hurts me making me angry and jealous but I pray to god to take my pain away doubts and worries. All I got is me, my education, my mother brother, sister and dad, and my god with me. Now I just look at the horizon and trust that somewhere out there will be something better for me listening to this or some metallica, Mexican music, 90s music drake basically my playlist is bipolar and a mix of everything I know this supposed to sound sad but what can I say 😂. But I hope all of you find happiness I’ll just be waiting patiently listening to these songs one day but for now I have what my god gave me and I know he will have something better for me in the end I trust him and that’s how I live my life now having faith in god worrying less and praying more and I know I said I don’t cry when I listen to these songs I lied I do but I cry tears of joy because I’m not alone Jesus is with me and I hope my ex’s are doing well and may they find happiness and may you as well you will be happy some day be patient god bless you and I love you my brother or sister I’ll just be here looking at the horizon or something else like driving around or going with my mom to where ever she goes.

Thank lord for such souls who make music like this ❤️

I feel every beat of this song in my soul

Damn this was 6 years ago, and i still always go back to this song.

Nobody is going to talk about how the end where he lets his emotions take over the drums and start going in. That’s my favorite part.

This new Whiplash trailer is amazing.

I can’t believe I just found this at the end of 2018. This year would have been better if I had known of this song.

oh how this song brings so many feelings even after two years. i remember the emptiness that ran through my body when you decided you didn't want me anymore. i remember that night before i had to leave i sat on the edge of the bed and jus looked at you... i remember the mourning pain of knowing this will be the last night i will get to feel your warmth next to me and how much i will miss you. i dont think i could ever explain the amount of pain i still remember when this song plays.. and even after two years.. its became weirdly comforting in a way. idk

i just lost the girl of my dreams. this song will forever be attached to her. RIP

This song heals my heart.

I saw them perform live last week and they’re 10x better live !!

Up at 4:20 in the morning. I can't fall asleep. I'm listening to this because it bring back memories. Most of them are good but some are bad. Thank you for posting this.

Am I the only one who pictures her in my head when I hear this? Damn, I miss her.

Leaving this here, knowing full well that it's highly unlikely anybody will stumble upon my silly little comment, but if you do, please remind me to listen to this again!

Hey future me , welcome back. Yes, this is what it feels like, i know success isnt supposed to feel like this but this is what it is. In the end , whatever drove you all this way ,it left u hollow and now you realize that it was never about the destination but the path that lead u to it. Don't worry , dont do anything stupid . There is still a long road ahead my friend . Remember me my friend :) okay?

Man the beat is especially melaconic but his voice is what makes these songs complete i love your voice truly talented

I like skating with this kind of music

*Estoy fascinada con la banda, con su melodía, la voz, todos se complementan de una manera única, me encanta :' ♡*
