The Swellers: The Best I Ever Had [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

LYRICS
It was a young and angry summer
A song that changed my mind
I heard it on the radio
And if everyone else heard this
They wouldn't be so sad
It was the best I ever had
It was the best I ever had

I remember April '94
September '96
And every day of '99 (all of '99)
Whether I waited for those records
Or helped Seattle cry
It was the best I ever had
And I know we'll never die

Yeah we were right about it
We'd be lost without it
Yeah what could ever take that?

I miss it too
And I miss the songs we knew
And if I could go back
I'd do it all again
It was the best I ever had

While the world was waking up and
Putting on their suits
I was planning my escape
And when I had that conversation
With my mom and dad
I said I'm never looking back
It was the best I ever had

And they were wrong about us
We showed them not to doubt us
Yeah what could ever take that?

I miss it too
And I miss the songs we knew
And if I could go back
I'd do it all again
It was the best I ever had

I'd do it all again

I've been everywhere now
Searching far and wide
But she was down the street
She looked just like an angel
Flying down to me
But I was underground
Where the devil comes to feed

And everything felt so right
I could show it to do wrong
But she taught me everything
And I don't know where she is now
But I'll never forget
She was the best I ever had
Or ever will again
The best I ever had

And if everyone else heard this
They wouldn't be so sad
It was the best I ever had

[Mikhos]

Goodbye, guys. You were the best we ever had.

[fueledbyramen]

Thumbs up if you love The Swellers' new album!

[andrewvanbemmel]

Its one of the only songs that is a real tear jerker."I've been everywhere now, searching far and wide but she was down the street...She was the best I ever had or ever will again." It brings back so many nostalgic memories. It pretty much sums up the genre of pop punk.

[michaelcrosby]

It's a real shame hardly anyone knew of this band, they could of went on to achieve so much more.

[charliedrake]

I wondered how a band this good could go unnoticed by so many. Then I remembered 99% of the world is brainless. Long live The Swellers!

[itsnicksharpbro]

This song will always hit me like I heard it for the first time.

This band is truly timeless.

[NMena]

No hay mejor regalo que el soundtrack de mi adolescencia estén estos muchachos, se los extraña mucho chicos

[RadSadbum]

*Cries in punk rock* Why haven't I heard THIS song???

[darshtronica]

This hit me right in my central feels system.

[palvalarios]

2020, still one of my fav songs ever!

[JBJones]

Anyone else feeling nostalgic as fuck right now?

[philipmelton]

May Nick and the boys bless us with a revival tour of the swellers..

"NO ONE COULD EVER TAKE THAT!!!"

[nyoimanis]

They need to go comeback! Well miss it❤

[WebThreeMusic]

After all the years, no matter where I am, when I hear this song, I get full body chill bumps. 🤍🙏🏼

[Nishinga.]

This song still makes me cry no matter how times I listen. I’ve buried an endless amount of memories of a couple women from my past that just bring me pain now, but this song has helped bring them to the surface in such a beautiful way. I sincerely can’t put into words how cathartic this all is. It honestly illicits so many emotions I can’t put into words how much it resonates with me.

I love and miss this band so much

[dougnulton]

This is like the emo 2000’s version of “Summer of ‘69” lol

[Ronyoso]

Found this band because of my guitar instructor showed me this song and said, "You wanna learn it?" I said "Freak yeah!" best song I ever learned and still love playing it!

[Metalcrossable]

IT WAS A YOUNG AN ANGRY SUMMER, A SONG THAT CHANGED MY MIND, I HEARD IT ON THE RADIO ..

IT WAS THIS SONG

[jh]

Every swellers video thumbnail is just Nick’s open mouth. It’s perfect.

[KNuge]

Finally A song that has a 90's feel
