LYRICS
I'm sorry
I heard about the bad news today
A crowd of people around you
Telling you it's okay
And everything happens for a reason

When you lose a part of yourself
To somebody you know
It takes a lot to let go
Every breath that you remember
Pictures fade away but memory is forever

An empty chair at all the tables
And I'll be seeing you when all my days boil down
But it's better where you're going anyway

I'm sorry
I heard about the bad news today
It's really hard to get through
Tough times and long days
But it really just depends on the season

For now we'll say goodbye
We know it's not the last time
I've lost the best part of my day
But it's better where you're going anyway

For now we'll say goodbye
We know it's not the last time
I've lost the best part of my day
This is the last thing
I will remember
It's better where you're going anyway

Jordan has done a great job protecting his voice over the years.

My grandpa was an incredible man and an inspiration to so many of us. He passed away on August 26, 2011. I had been a NFG fan since high school so I knew the background of the song “Sonny”. I was tasked with creating his memorial slideshow. The full day that I worked on it I cried so many tears listening to “Sonny” on repeat. Tonight, on the eve of the 9th anniversary of his passing, I cry tears of joy. Just thinking the release of the acoustic version is some random sign of his presence. A sign that he still watches over me always. Epa Grampito. Gracias a Dios.

Fingers crossed for Head On Collision, but literally anything will make me happy because that album is flawless.

[christophertrechok]

We need a NFG acoustic album of the greatest hits. Love this.

funny story about this album. i would play the cd every morning while my mom took me to school(back in 2002). by mid semester she was singing along with me.

“What song should we play next?” YOUR ENTIRE CATALOGUE. Not one of us will complain.

When my best friend died in 2002, I didn’t know how to express my feelings and emotions. Then I heard this song for the first time 6 months later and ever since, it alway makes me think of her. Tears of joy and sadness every time it gets played.

Oh god, the tears jerk just as hard. Lost my father unexpectedly in 2019, and was devastating. My mom got a golden retriever pup like 6 months later, and i immediately thought of this song, because he had wanted to name him Sonny, so thats what she did.

In January of 2020, my uncle passed away after a hell of a fight against cancer. Our home life wasn't great and he was there for us when all the adults we should have been able to trust weren’t acting right.
I don't think that I stopped listening to the Sticks and Stones version of this song until the Summer had started.
Thank you for this version.
😊

[frankwalerius]

Re-release, remake, new, old... it doesn't matter. Please, keep making music. Quality of life is better with your melodies in it! Can't wait to see you guys again live!

[bitKatwalk]

[martinikhitam]

New found glory getting older, is getting stronger.

[mr.rogersdworld]

The sticks and stones album is probably my favorite album. Great job. Can’t wait to hear more

[ninastull]

I lost my sister last May unexpectedly. We shared a love for NFG and this song just breaks and soothes my heart.

[behnfgfan]

Such a sad day my aunt passed away today nothing like some NFG to get me through this tough day. Thanks for all the awesome music you have made over the years 🤘

I was 14 when i heard this album for the first time. I convinced my dad to buy me a distortion pedal so i could play along. At the music store he wanted me to show him why I needed it. I can't even remember what song I started but it was definitely from this album. 16 years later, I still play guitar, but became focused on drums. I'm 30. AndI love New Found Glory.

[riodermawan]

I have no idea that Sonny can be leveled up like this, so good to hear it in acoustic version. Brings me back to high school..

[jessicakenawell]

This song still brings up so much emotion. When I saw it on tour I almost cried
