Damn, the lyrics hit you different when you listen to them in your mid-30's than when you listened to them in your teenage years.... Beautiful cover, Mike. Thank you.

I am a dad who is struggling to make ends meet in these strange times. This song means a lot to me right now... Thanks Mike!

When I was younger I only enjoy the music. But now I'm 34 and I feel the lyrics.

Summer of 99:
Hearing this song the first time: easy life, school is cool, playstation is "the hot s***", skateboarding hype in germany ! first love and so on...
Winter 2021:
Dad passed away two years ago, still feels like yesterday. Adulthood is stressfull and hard, things won't happend as planned, depression and anxiety.

Evertime i watch this i cry a lot.
Sounds weird but thank you for this version of one of my alltime favorites.

..I can't even remember how i found the song, but seeing "Superman" being turned into a ballad version by Mike is something i cannot just ignore, These bands MXPX, Goldfinger, Rancid, Suicide Machines, the Offspring, the Ataris, NOFX etc.. were the soundtrack of my college days, i still remember when we tried to play Girls Schmirls Foundation and Goldfinger's My Head even though we don't know how to properly play our instruments..
..I miss those days, or better yet those days have never gone by...they just linger.
..Got to tell my old bud who's a crazy MXPX fan as well to watch this video..once he's done doing the laundry and household chores..
..Good job Mike! and everyone stay safe from the world touring virus.

"Looking older all the time, feeling younger in my mind." My mind still thinks I'm 18, but too often the body says...Nope! Great cover. Thanks for sharing Mike.

This song helped me get through the pandemic. Thank you Mike and Tony Hawk

And, for three minutes and six seconds, everything was right with the world.

I didn't know how much I needed this, until I heard it. Thank you for making me 13 again- even if it was only for 3 min.

This song hits differently in my mid 30s. So glad you got together with John to bless us with this right now. You’ve always been a class act, Mike.

Unbelievable man! Only Mike Herrera could take one of my favorite Ska songs as a kid and transform it into a nostalgic piece of poetry perfectly articulating the process of aging now as an adult.

[joeydelgado]

I never really paid much attention to the lyrics but that had me hanging on every word.

[bigdaddyowens]

Never heard this version and almost brought a tear to my eye love the original but this is in its own universe

[berkerrang]

Great, now I'm gonna cry every time I hear this song.

[mathewschimmenti]

So how awesome is it that this is the end credits song in the THPS documentary? Congrats Mike!

[FM]

This was amazing. Much love from a lifelong Mxpx and Goldfinger fan.

[Gamesta]

First heard this about 20 minutes ago on the Pretending I'm a Superman (THPS) documentary and I absolutely loved it.

Now here I am.

[jsvallee]

Love this version - as a middle aged dude in my 40s dealing with a broken arm who can't play the sports I love, waking up with a stiff back, realizing that some of the things I wanted to do are things I'll never do but still realizing I have decades ahead of me with my wife and children and siblings and friends, well, this version speaks to me.
