Lyrics:
Let's just forget
Everything said
Everything we did
Best friends
Better-halves
Goodbyes
The autumn night when we realized we were falling out of love.

(There were some things that were said that weren't meant,
like you, "never did.")

Not to be overly dramatic
i just think it's best, because you can't miss what you forget
So let's just pretend everything and anything between you me
was never meant.

American Football

[DavidNwokoye]

Can't believe we got a Never Meant remaster before GTA 6

[mcbill]

The original already sounded phenomenal i dont know what they could improve with this remaster

[lanerj]

When is Illinois going to make the American Football house a historic site

[bobmaget]

Drums are super crispy. Kick sounds punchier. I like it.

[joshjordan]

I wish for a bonus remaster track thats the Never Meant version from Limewire that cuts off at 4mins

[SeamanLord]

I was tryna find Never Meant 64 to try to explain the importance of this song to a friend and got graced with something even better

[ghastlyshimmer]

The original is already sounded fantastic but after 25 years this album deserved it's remaster. Well done!

[prodbyam]

You just had to bring me back to my early 2000s didn't you?!!

[strugglesofa-life]

after decades, i find myself in this moment in time again. going through grief and disbelief. and somehow, this song comes up to my feed to save me once again.

[everaced]

Eating cold food at 10:46pm while this plays and I'm thinking about friends I miss. Good vibes

[derekkey]

Proof that Never Meant is the Blade Runner of Mid West Emo. Absolutely love the improved quality here!

[thecruddybug]

Super crisp and clear. I kinda like the warmer original, but this is also nice. Two different ways to listen now.

[charonsferryold]

Just in time for the end of summer and that wave of catharsis when the weather cools off before seasonal depression kicks in later

[marioarredondo]

Suena muy sabroso mi amigo!! 🔥
Cheers from México!

[jaylynzakikhani]

Remember kids you cant miss what you forget 😔😔

[legrandparrain]

still my favorite song ever made. thank you for everything, truly.

[SliceJosiah]

Man, I sure hope this makes separating the guitar tracks easier for my solo performance for school

[Way-Way]

This album has meant so much to me over the past few decades of my life and I really can’t tell the story of my past without mentioning it.

Hopefully in another 25 years the album will still hold meaning with myself & others and hopefully has been shared with more friends and more better halves.

Thanks to everyone involved in the making of this living breathing piece of art that just refuses to be put in a box and swept away in the corner. We all greatly appreciate you guys. Here’s to a 4th LP down the line cheers 🍻

[oLrereion]

I wonder if the person this song was written about in the late 90s is aware of all this and knows how anonymously famous they are

[Pobrecitoband]

These dudes perfected a genre and have literally inspired generations of musicians. Happy to hear the remasters and the new covers album!
