My daughter and I sang this song whenever it came on in the truck on the way to school or just driving- she ended it a couple of times with "Mom, I wish I knew you when you were young . . . you seem fun". I lost her last March at the age of 20. Just a song I will always cherish!

Lost my wife on our 10th. She was supposed to be getting well - the mental health system killed her in their egotistical attitude of I have a degree - yet they fail their clients in their game of Russian Roulette with meds instead of just first testing for drug interactions. I will never forget how much hurt she was put thru from that twisted Sister's agenda network. Best wishes - please do your self a favor, stay safe and away from the phycologist here's a pill 💊 for that network. Feelings prose's truth of your inter mind's hurt - that hurt is natural part of a lost life that was important. As my dad once said - chin up, shoulders back, chest out and eye's on Everything!

Now THIS is how you make a music video! You have two lovers separated by time reuniting in their twilight years. But at the same time the phasing in and out of their younger self's remind us no matter how old you get, you are still young at heart but also carry your regrets from years past. The other classmates at the reunion show us that you never lose your sense of fun, the man spiking the punch like he still 16 is a really nice touch. I also love the effect at the beginning when the man sees his love for the first time at the dance and glides towards her as if on a cloud.

I wish I could’ve accepted myself for who I was when I was young (we could’ve got so high) This song goes out to all the young girls that are strangers to themselves. Get to know yourself.

I'm sure it would have made a difference if I could have found a way to use both at the same time, but we can't turn back time.

This song defines my relationship with my boyfriend. It's our song. We met in high school and reunited two years ago. He was selling records at a record show. He recognized me and said my name which kind of took me by surprise. Then he told me who he was and I was blown away. Talk about a glow up. The bad thing was I had a boyfriend at the time. That relationship fell apart. Then he connected on New Year's Eve. I told him I would regret it if we didn't kiss at midnight. That's exactly what we did and we've been together ever since. ❤

Reece Calia Not really. I hear this on the radio literally everyday.

When you work in the public you often interact with people you wouldn't normally interact with, and for me, when I was in my early 20s, it was with this woman who I worked with (although in a different department) who is about 10 years my senior, and I had the hugest crush on her. We ended up becoming friends over the 6 or 7 years we worked together and became very trusting of each other with our personal lives. This song always makes me think of her even years later. Although this doesn't particularly have to do with the song, it does make me wish I was born a few years earlier to potentially have been able to have a stronger connection with her.

I met a girl today and she’s so gorgeous to me. This started playing on the radio and it captured exactly what I was feeling in that moment. I love this song sm

Kyle Skinner shut up smartass..you perciece it that way. And everyone has there own opion on how they personally see it so shut up.

5 years later and this song still speaks to me. Just in a different way. I definitely know what it is to wish I knew someone when we were young❤

While it wasn’t our first dance song, this was my favorite song played at our wedding. I will always remember staring into your gorgeous eyes and smile, dancing our hearts out to this song, feeing lost in the moment and all the experiences we’ve shared… before and since. I love you!

Been said several times but this is the one song that's impossible to grow tired of. Every listen makes it sound all the better.

Hang in there. I hope things are getting better for you.

After a few years of homelessness and terrible abuse everywhere I landed, I went to stay with a man who was gentle and kind to me, ever patient where others had been extremely ugly to me. After a few nights he played this song for me. I do wish I knew him when we were young. We might have made some big noise in the woods stomping down family trees together. I hope for him only the very best and that we'll meet again sooner than later. My time with good ppl has been brief but precious moments that keep me moving forward hoping for more. Thank you for everything, Day.

I'm a 57 year old rock and roller down to my toes. i saw many great bands while growing up in the san francisco bay area. BUT this band is so hot, they will touch yer mind and soul, as they make some of the most powerful, sweet sounds i have EVER heard! So glad i caught this song on KZAP radio a few weeks back.I am now a new/old revivalist fan 4 sure! Thank you,bless you rock on..you just woke me back up! Mr. bruce I'anson jones !

I wish I knew you... Oh, I wish I knew you when I was young Truth, it's all that you need You bury that seed It's everything beautiful That sound comes from the underground It's all inside you now It's everything beautiful But what are you, what are you, what are you What are you running from? Then, they got, they got, they got They got you on the run? So Friday night, holy ghost Take me to your level Show me the one I need the most I need the most I wish I knew you when I was young We could've got so high Now we're here it's been so long Two strangers in the bright lights Oh, and I hope you don't mind We can share my mood Two strangers in the bright lights I wish I knew you...

It for some reason makes me tear up every time. I'm only 21 but I feel so damn old. Never connected with my generation so I can already feel that I'm gonna be a bitter lonely old man if I make it that far

Basically this song to me...describes my current relationship....my honey and I have been together for almost 6 years now. She is older than I...but age is just a number.....this song tells a story of our lives because until I moved here 18 years ago...we were 3000 miles apart....we found each other 8 years ago. Everything happens for a reason. We are very much in love and both of us wished we would have met a long time ago. Hence why I love this song.

This is what I call good music!

Heard this song the first time on radio in 2016 when i bought my first car. Something about the music just got me stuck to it and i went back and listened to it on KZread. The lyrics remind me of my grandfather who I lost when i was a kid and i never really got a chance to get to know him. But my mom says I'm like him in many ways! I wish I would have got to spend some time with him

Because it touches everything that is good about us... you see the old guys looking bad as if they are about to do something awful but it is made clear that back in the past and in present they are just basic rebel wannabees and in the meantime they think this whole interracial thing is boring.

@TeenDream888

6 жыл бұрын

Tarkus i think people are more comfortable with interracial couples, not 'bored'. maybe English isn't your first language, so i won't bash your adjectives. the old dudes were just reliving their youth and enjoying themselves-i don't think they were ever wannabes or rebels, just stupid kids having fun. the song definitely touches the nostalgia of the main couple, who probably liked each other a lot (and still do) but couldn't date back in the day. they're making up for lost time, and reminiscing how things might've been different if they could have dated without the social stigmas of the time.

I hope my high school reunion is like this 40 years from now

The most wonderful thing is that music is subjective. You see this is romantic. I do not. I just landed in a class of my peers and it’s just absolutely the song I wanted to listen to. I got into my class and that’s all that matters.

I'm also so sorry for your loss. I'm 65 years old and heard this song for the first time a year ago and was struck by how true it is for people my age. I meet someone now and think wow I wish I'd had the benefit of knowing you longer

I found this song through the LCD SoundSystem Pandora Radio Station I created. I immediately gave it a thumbs up, and replayed it. I wait for it to come around on the station. Today, I just HAD to hear it. Googled it, and saw the Official Video. It touches such a deep chord within me. Reading the comments made tears roll down my cheeks. It was touching to see how much this song means to so many others, too. The chorus makes me weep every time. Profound.

It's sad that they didn't know each other when they were younger, but It is very possible and actually likely that being together when younger would've been bad since most younger relationships don't work out so it's happy because it's better to have met later in life but sad because of what could have been and then we go back to the beginning. Really it's such a great song.
