To my old high school friend Justin. I know how much you loved this band. It was pretty obvious given the ADTR tattoo on your arm lol. The memories we had growing up were hysterically awesome and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. The last time we saw each other was Warped Tour 2011. We tailgated, got a little drunk, saw some awesome bands, including ADTR 😁, and you brought along a girl you’d eventually end up marrying and having the most adorable son with. It aches me to know you lost your battle with Synovial Sarcoma the day after Christmas but please know I will carry these memories into this new year, the year after and forever on with pride and love. Rest easy my friend!

I met a girl last winter, and though i didn't want to. Before i knew it i had already fallen hard for her. I rejoiced when she said that felt the same. But along the way, i made some stupid mistakes that i can never take back. But i loved her too much, and i went all in the correct all my wrongs. She was hurt, but she told me that she made some mistakes too. We loved each so much i knew there was no way in hell i was going to give up on us. One day i went to her house and played this song from my car i told her to have faith in me and she did. Next year we're getting married. This song will always be special to me

Words can not describe how much this song means to me. Reminds me of my Brother who passed away. I'd do anything for him. He was my best friend. He got me, and I got him. We over came our traumas together. We lived in constant laughter when together. We both loved music so much and got excited to share new songs and experience it. We also wrote songs together. This was one shared with him when he was struggling. Life without him is so different. Rest in the stars, Ricky❤

This was the last song I listened to with my friend before he went missing in 2016. It never fails to bring me to tears "I said I'd never let you go and I never did"

This was my best friend’s favorite song back in the day. We went to a strict high school in the south of the US, he and I were the only ones in the school who liked punk and metal, so we were weird to everybody else but we didn’t care. We started a band together after high school and were roommates for a while. Unfortunately he took his own life about 10 years ago. I never liked this song that much but he friggin loved it and played it all the time. For some reason this popped on my YT feed today and I listened to it for the first time since he died. When the chorus hit I lost it. I’m in tears right now. So many memories. I miss my friend

RIP Promos

I remember when she got tattooed “Have faith in me...” I always knew I’d never forget her.

I still remember jamming to these guys my junior/senior high school years. I remember playing NJ legion iced tea on my parents front porch with my buddy talking about how this is our last year in high school. We talked about how much better it'll be once we leave high school behind. Now I'd give almost anything to go spend a day in that time. The days looked, smelled, and felt different back then. A Day To Remember, Paramore, Three Days Grace, Linkin Park, they all filled my Ipod touch. It sucks we can't go back, but those days will always live on through us. I'm happy I'm not the only one that hears this and starts to reminisce about the early 2010's. I love all you crazy bastards, keep your heads up and I'll meet you all back here in a few years when we all decide to reflect again.

TheMixtureGaming Hate to tell you this but everything is going to change man. Especially once everyone is done with college. People will start moving away, getting married and having kids and friends slowly start separating. It sucks, but that's just how life is. I had a great time in high school, but college was even better honestly, especially the first two years. My freshman and sophomore years in college were two of the best years of my life so far. Grew up a lot, but had a ton of fun. A lot of crazy memories were made and I often miss those times. I'm happy I've got those kinds of memories though because a lot of people don't.

27 and allowing myself to go back to my teen years. It's been so long. If I could go back and tell myself to have pride in who I was & not be ashamed..... I would. I would tell her that she gets to marry the man of her dreams and goes on to have some of the most beautiful kids. This music is bringing back so many memories.

Whether I'm feeling down or not, I always come back to this song. Its gotten me thru soooo many rough times I can't even recall. This is my fav band and fav song, ADTR never disappoints.

2021 - until i die ✋🤚

This has always been one of my favorite songs and it will always stay that way!

3 years have passed since i first found out about this band, yet no single day has passed without hearing one of their amazing songs.

Dear Pierce The Veil; thank you for featuring Jeremy on Caraphernelia, and Kellin on King For a Day, and for taking PVRIS on tour so I found them, and introducing me to amazing bands, and thanks for being fucking awesome. (+ADTR was awesome in concert)

Man at 33 this still hits like a freight train...

I want y’all to think about this song in a TOTALLY different way. One year ago I befriended a prisoner whose friendship changed MY life for the better. Our letters and talks have helped me grow in a way I never knew I needed. After reading thousands of letters from my volunteer work, his words grabbed my heart and never let go… and I’ve been a faithful friend to him this entire time. Please take a moment to read my life changing story, and maybe you’ll use this song in a whole new way someday-the way I have. I am speaking as a person with experience as a survivor. I have survived some of the most heinous crimes you can even imagine in your mind. The last assault that happened to me was when I was 29 (it was completely random). I am now 37. So I’ve experienced VICIOUS abuse since infancy to age 29 (almost 3 decades of violence). So please keep that in mind as you read this. “Grace is not earned-it is FREELY GIVEN!” I randomly stumbled upon prisoner activism 2 years ago after seeing a documentary about a man who was never loved and never given a chance in this world (different person from my personal friend of 1 year). The man in the doc ran away at 12 years old and started hanging out with druggies and doing petty crime. His rap sheet stacked up and whilst before an adult court at the age of 16, they chose to throw the book at him and gave him 10 years mandatory in an adult prison for his various crimes. Can you imagine going through puberty and just trying to grow up when you have absolutely NO ONE who loves you and you’re in the most hostile environment in the country? OF COURSE he got angrier, more violent! SSo his crimes stacked up even more in prison. They began keeping him in solitary and it made him angrier. Every time they took away his privileges-HIS HUMANITY-it was all fuel to the flame. Twenty years later, he’s setting a record for being in solitary confinement THE ENTIRE TIME. So finally he devised a plan in his underdeveloped and damaged mind to kyll someone in order to get onto death row. Because in that Prison, going from CM1 to The Row is like “going from the slums of India to Beverly Hills CA.” So, he murders his bunkie and is immediately taken out of CM1. He FIGHTS FOR HIS RIGHT TO DIE and is finally put into Death Row. He used the system that destroyed him to gain some semblance of his humanity back. Then, just one year into his time on The Row, he’s contacted by a distant cousin who shows him love and compassion. He’s a Christian family man and him, his wife, and his 3 little children all become invested into the man. They show him the love he’s never had in this world. This is a man who doesn’t know what it’s like to hold a job, to hold a baby in your arms, to hold the hand of a loving woman… his world couldn’t be more different than ours. But suddenly, now he had a family who loved him. And guess what happened? He stopped committing crimes, stopped getting into trouble. He didn’t want to lose time and visitation with the family he now had. He said, “I can’t tell you what it feels like to have people care about you.” Notice he didn’t say “people THAT care about you.” The man is saying not only has he never had loving people in his life… he’s never known what it feels like to be cared about AT ALL. So, why did this story send me into the path of prisoner activism? Because I, too, ran away when I was a couple years older than him at 14 to escape the abuse I was suffering at home. My dad died when I was 7 and after that, no one gave a single shyt about me and I was beaten everyfknday. I ended up in the clutches of bad men and became a s3x sl@ve. I was forced to do drugs, run drugs, I was put into a dog cage, burned, forced into an underground s3x scene, and all this INSANE stuff you never hear about in your everyday life. I almost got arrested 2 times but gained compassion from the cops (my appearance had EVERYTHING to do with that). I’ve only spent a single day in jail. That’s IT. Anyway, so I avoided the law for the serious stuff but I was still owned by an older man. I had to escape in the middle of the night to another state 12 hours away just to get away from that situation. At ANY time from age 14 to 21, I could’ve been arrested and had some judge with a god complex throw the book at me. What I’m saying is that man from the documentary who’s now in his late 50s after spending over 4 DECADES in prison all because no one gave a single shyt about him… that could have been ME! How many of you KNOW how lucky you are to have never gone to jail? To PRISON?! That could have been any one of us! So, a year into my activism work, I met a man whose crime I never even looked up because I chose to always put people FIRST (and not lead by their worst mistakes). This human being is now my best friend and we read books together, study together (he just got his BA), and we share our life experiences together through pen pal writing. And JUST like the man from the documentary who didn’t believe his cousin was gonna stick around and actually care, he didn’t believe I was gonna be a REAL friend either. But just like that man’s family who has been in his life for YEARS now, I am still here caring about this human being one year later. He says he trusts me and feels I’m not going to disappear out of his life like everyone else. I am a safe place for him. He can’t talk about his fEeLiNgS to other dudes in prison! But he gets to talk to ME and we read books and grow TOGETHER! We are currently reading “Atlas of the Heart” by Brené Brown. We are BOTH better human beings because of this friendship we share. That trust he has in me… that’s EVERYTHING. So, for our 1 year friendship anniversary-BEST Friendship Anniversary-I will be sending him the title and lyrics to this song for him to download on his player there in prison. When this man gets out in 3.5 years (after serving a 17 year sentence), I want him to have SOMEONE in his corner rooting for him. I want him to have that sense of pride and duty in himself to DO BETTER and BE BETTER in life. I want him to remember that he owes it to himself and EVERYONE to never victimize a person ever again. Despite him never having a single ticket in his entire 13.5 years thus far and being a model citizen in his prison community, getting out is no cake walk. Re-entry is next to IMPOSSIBLE even for the less serious crimes, and his crime just so happens to be the worst one to bounce back from in terms of finding a place to live and getting a good job (and people wOnDeR WhY recidivism is SO HIGH). So when he comes back into this world, I want him to play this song and know… “I never let him go, I never let him fall and I always meant it! And if he didn’t have a chance then I never did!” We can do this together! Even if you’re on the other side of the world from someone, you can ALWAYS be a voice of support! The resources our org can help him with will be a great head start, but knowing he doesn’t want to let me down… now THAT is a reason to not let anyone see him fail! The whole world is against him! He’s gonna show them ALL! So, as you listen to this LEGENDARY SONG… i want you to consider being a friend to a HUMAN BEING who is SO MUCH MORE THAN THE SUM OF HER/HIS WORST MISTAKES. Be the ONE person that restores their faith in humanity. Tell them, “HAVE FAITH IN ME!” and don’t let them down! Let’s become a better society so we can end the VICIOUS CYCLE OF ABUSE (because hurt people HURT PEOPLE)! And let’s end the human slavery crisis in this country! Let’s give people a REASON to want to do good in life! So when they walk out of those walls, be a voice of encouragement pushing them along! Just having ONE PERSON who cares in their life can make all the difference! YOU can make that difference! You can make it A DAY TO REMEMBER! October 3rd is our Best Friend Anniversary-it’s OUR DAY TO REMEMBER! Thanks for reading my story🖤 Let’s choose compassion and empathy over revenge and hate! Let’s do this!!!!!🥹 *Let me know if you’re interested in becoming a pen pal to a prisoner! You can write completely anonymously with us!

A day to remember helps me face my hardships and issues with determination. These guys have rocked my life since I first heard them so many months ago and I can't thank them enough for helping me pull through college. This band is fucking awesome.

Almost 5 days ago my older brother passed away. his name was Christopher Bruman and this was of his last favorite songs, we are playing it for his ceremony after his viewing, he was only 38 and nearly made it to 39. I hope one of the members of a day to remember sees this because even though he is gone if one thing was for sure, he loved your music and it will play in their household day and night to remember him. I wish he could have heard you play one last time, he had planned to go with his wife to your concert in phoenix, had the tickets and everything ready but when he got sick it was already too late, so his wife will be going to it alone as it was their last place they were planning to go. To everyone who reads this, just so you know and I know its corny but life can and will end shortly so cherish it for as long as you can.

Crazy I'm 35 and this makes me wanna jump around still! I love it so much

Still listening in 2023. This song will never lose its hold over me.

I'm looking up all the songs I used to listen to when I was 14.

nothing better to remember

Nostalgia the good old days

The last time I listened to this song was about 5 years ago and I'm only 15 so it brings back a lot of memory's of my mum when she passed away from cancer RIP mom

She ran away when I tried to help her from herself, but thats the problem.. we can't save anyone that doesn't want saved..
