So many bittersweet memories with this song. I basically listened to this album on repeat when my mom was in the ICU diagnosed with an inoperable malignant brain tumor and given a month at best to live. This song always brings me back to waking up early on the hospital room benches while she was still asleep, putting my headphones in and listening to Diary front to back while walking through the hospital and across the street in the chilly morning weather to buy us both a coffee from a nearby cafe. She's been gone for a while now, and Diary always makes me think of her, but there are a lot of pleasant feelings that come with all the melancholy at the same time. Music is a crazy thing.

Skipped school to drive to Nashville to see them! 1997....pushed my way to the front and got a guitar pick, still have it!! Love sunnyday

It’s crazy to think this song was recorded in 1993! It honestly sounds like something that would have been released by an alternative/emo band in the late 2000s. SDRE was definitely ahead of their time!

Holy shit this sounds so much newer than 1993. This is a blueprint for SO many 2000s emo and also math rock bands

They were so good so early in their career and way ahead of their time. Jeremy’s vocals man. Searing, gentle, whatever in between. How these guys don’t have books written about them is beyond me.

Shout to my old buddies growing up from 1993 through 2001. RIP Stephen. You were always a good man, heck even a better man than I am now in 2022. RIP brother. This song will always haunt me. Thank for your contribution to society in the 206, 425 and the 253. You will never be forgotten. LOve you Steve.

The best thing about SDRE is you can make up your own lyrics when you sing along because nobody knows what he's actually singing

Can we just all agree the emo style of music is completely unattached to the "emo" fashion

"I'm not emo guys gawdd" "Then why are you listening to Sunny Day Real Estate?"

Goldsmith is such an underappreciated drummer.

The drummer is amazing Simply amazing

Haven't listened to this band in forever. That drummer is so excellent.

52 years old here. How time flies when you're drunk and high...

I was actually thrilled to see this band referenced on South Park.

they have some pretty epic A-ha animation moments

It came out 30 years ago today (05/10/2024). Time flies.

One of the earliest concerts I saw as a teenager. Low opened for them at the OK Hotel in Seattle. Phenomenal night.

Saw this video on Alternative Nation in the early 90s. This band was a profound influence on my musical taste and opened many doors to realizing other great bands.

This has got to be one of the best-structured rock songs of all time. Every melody & riff just fits into the whole so well, and it's perfectly cathartic and beautiful.

Possibly one of the greatest written songs of the 90s..the bass line alone, is genius

This feels like a lifetime ago, when we were skateboarding ourselves through life....

The drummer is fucking bad ass!!!

The whole performance by the group especially William Goldsmith the drummer was one hell of a performance. I really appreciated this band and song even though I'm a child of the 70's. The video was also well done, kudos to all involved.

Sew it on. Face the fool. December's tragic drive When time is poetry And stolen the world outside The waiting could crush my heart Sew it on. Face the fool. The tide breaks a wave of fear And brave songs disappear The secret voice of dawn This last time raise my eyes. You'll taste it In time The right words In time Sew it on. Face the fool. The mirrors lie those aren't my eyes Destroy them raise my hand Reflected in savage shards A new face a soul reborn. You'll taste it In time The right words In time

This song is really great. Makes me think back to when I was 14-15 and life was an emotional rollercoaster.

This entire album is a masterpiece from start to finish!

This is the quintessential song that brings all the feels of what it was like to be a teenager in the Puget Sound in the mid-90s.

This band is one of the best things to happen to music as a whole

Its a shame that this real emo indie masterpiece has only 1.6M views

I hate the fact that the intro was shortened on this. Why does music have to be in a rush? Anyway, this song is simply awesome. This is like a classic to me.

I love this song. the melody, the emotion of the instruments

This feels like high school. It hurts so good.

ahh 1st generation emo. When being emo meant dressing like a librarian.

I searched "emo band album cover with Playmobils" to find this band.

This is a timeless masterpiece, this classic does not get the respect it deserves

Amazing song. still gripping even after all these years.

The drummer kicks ass. Hearing these guys for the first time and I grew up in the 90's.

"Emos? ...Ew-oh my God, Emos are such wannabe conformists." -Edgar Allen Poe

Such a unique and strangely beautiful feeling when I hear a song that was once part of my life.

Goldsmith is a beast! Been on this kick lately listenin to the music I was jammin back when I was 13-15.... and it's definitely got a lot of sdre and dinosaur jr. I remember when this one was released.

Who else remembers buying this cd 30 years ago? Still love them!

As a long time fan of SDRE, I really don't give a fuck if Onision or South Park or whatever brought you here, as long as you dig this music, that's all that matters.

Anyone else listening during the Coronavirus Pandemic?

"Seven" Sew it on Face the fool December's tragic drive When time is poetry And stolen the world outside The waiting could crush my heart Sew it on Face the fool The tide breaks a wave of fear And brave songs disappear The secret voice of dawn This last time raise my eyes You'll taste it, you'll taste it In time You'll taste it, you'll taste it In time You'll taste it, you'll taste it In time You'll taste it, you'll taste it In time The right words In time The right words Sew it on Face the fool The mirrors lie those aren't my eyes Destroy them raise my hand Reflected in savage shards A new face, a soul reborn You'll taste it, you'll taste it In time You'll taste it, you'll taste it In time You'll taste it, you'll taste it In time You'll taste it, you'll taste it In time The right words In time The right words

SDRE and Mineral are criminally underrated.

This whole album is great I use to lay in bed and listen to it when I was about 19

I remember this being on Alternative Nation and 120 minutes when MTV was relevant. At least 26 years ago. 1994.

This is the golden age of emo. Before pop-punk took the name and created "mall emos". Emo belongs to the hardcore scene. Sunny Day Real Estate and Rites of Spring are the true emo gods!!🤘🖤

I feel Nate is confined to simple progressions now with the foo fighters . this was much more experimental and enjoyable.

How can I have missed this absolute masterpiece!?

Most underrated band of all time. Incredible album that will be one of my all time faves

Can't wait or believe that I'm going to see these guys again in NY! These guys are one of the most broken up and back together bands I've ever had the pleasure of appreciating. Thank you Sunny Day 😊

First song I heard by them, and it remains my favorite.

This one is for you, Stephen Cassidy. Love and miss you. I am sorry you went out that way. I recall meeting you in 1993 at first pres in Bellevue. We attended different middle and high schools.

I wish more people knew sunny day real estate

this is as pure as emo music can get and i love it.

The algorithms gave me a goth South Park complication and then this popped up after. Coincidence? I think not!!

That dude from Nirvarna and the bass player and drummer from Sunny Day Real Estate should form a band. They’d sound pretty kewl...

The intermittent drums and singing is perfect to drown out people fighting in a different room

This band had their own sound which is unfiltered and pure. Rare for that time in music especially emo

I been listening to these guys since i saw this video back in 1994.. SDRE & the band curve got me thru some tough times in the 90’s & early 2000’s. I see people are calling them emo but i always just thought they were 90’s indie rock. Call it what you will. I still love this band all these years later

**shuffles side to side** **smokes cigarette**

this song needs to be played so much louder for my happiness and i am denied that

This is REAL emo music! Not what they call “Pop Punk”!

Classic slice of old school indie/emo and the first of its kind. It's a masterclass kids and a piece of musical heritage.

My bass teacher knows Dan. Now that is awesome. :)

My first time hearing this song and it's fucking awesome!

Didn't know this was on South Park but it doesn't surprise me because those guys are cool as shit.

OCt 3rd.. HOUSE OF BLUES!!! 2022.. First time! Long time fan. Cannot wait!!

Still the best album of the 90s!

I remember back in the early KZfaq days when comments were about the video, the song, or the band. Now it's just "X brought me here." I. Don't. Care. Who. Brought. You. Here.

These are the Godfathers of Emo and so much more. Goldsmith is an absolute Badass on drums here. Lp2 is another great album. True unsung heroes in an-undigital, no synth, non laptop age.

Just discovered this band in 2020! Been into this kinda music lately, a new fan lol. Ten years too late 😔

Jesus I still remember seeing this late night on mtv for the first time 30 yrs ago. Blew my damn mind

An under appreciated band

Jeremy was God to me back in the 90s Their first album was like a bible to me I hope this genius is happy wherever hi is at

SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guitar hero And dad And alt tiktok... And general internet... And 4th grade obsessions-

My favorite name for any music group ever. "Sunny Day Real Estate". Love it. Such a happy name for a group.

i am thinking these guys were fugazi fans

MTV Alternative Nation brought me here.....that was back in 94’

Summer 93..turned 16 June93. Listened SDRE&Radiohead constantly in my first car

My favorite 90s alternative rock song of all time. This Era of music was absolutely the best to me. Hip hop was awesome too. The nostalgia feels great.

Just timeless . This emotion and energy is unmatched for ever

Shhhhhh, the scene kids won't find us here

"You tasted... You tasted... Wern's eyyyyyyye"

Any old emos? 2019 anyone? r i p

I love this song I found it on guitar hero 5

most dynamic bass in an indie bass of all time, my fave band to play as a dj in college

Can’t wait to see you guys again in October!!!! It’s been way too long!!! ❤

I remember seeing them at Bumbershoot 94' in Seattle. They were crazy good. Crap, Im old!

This was very early 90s. I was like 9 and always thought they said " you taste it .. rain child"... lol I'm a dufus

I believe Sunny Day was the best EMO-INDIE ever, if there is such a genre. If there isn't, these guys just created their own genre. That's how awesome they were and and still are.

Wow ive been looking for this song for so long, never knew who it was.. finally get to hear this masterpiece again

One of my favorite songs of all time!!

i saw these guys free at a record shop. Oh the 90's

this is one of the greatest things to grace this, or any other planet. Thank you SDRE.

This album changed my life.

Honestly been lookin for this song about 25 years after seeing it on mtv2.. mark from blink 182 had it in his playlist.. but I never caught the band or song name..i couldnt fathom any lyrics to sesrch for it lol.. as people have said it seems common to not know the lyrics for this band. So glad I found it after all this time

Goldsmith is wearing those drums OUT! And that bass! THAT BASS!!! This group was/is sooo BADASS. I love 'em. Rock on fellas. Big props to SubPop for this and so much more.
