My favorite part is the distorted "rolling shutter" illustrating on the drumsticks.

Nearly 15 years later, and they still give me goosebumps with each release.

Making the connections to Passing Through a Screen Door… I’m glad there’s a kid name Dan finally likes😢 This song makes me even more excited for the rest of the album!!

I've already listened to this song so many times and I can't stop crying. I remember the first time I heard Melrose Diner in 2010 and TWY instantly became my favorite band. Every release has related helped me through different stages of life. This song though.... it hit me somewhere special. I have two little girls, one with congenital heart disease and she'll be having surgery soon and this song is going to be carrying me through. Thank you, TWY.

You know that's really hard to hear about your daughter and i hope she improves. I despise this band and this song is diabilical in its shamelessness, to put your kid in the video like this, to film the mother, etc. - is utterly sick. This man is sick - He has no ideas in his music or in his art - the video is an idea void. It's one thing to write about your kid in a comment thread, it's another to put the poor thing in a video featuring her. It's not like she has any say in the matter. The guy is a whole new level of moron - and the music sucks.

As a father of a 2 year old, and reading the lyrics after many playthroughs, i find it amazing that my favourite band released a song that i can relate to more than anything they had released previously, which in itself is a miracle. Thank you guys.

Apparently we are this old! Good job everyone we are parents! Wouldn’t change it for anything. Thanks wonder years for being there though everything

Congrats. Being a girl dad is the best.

I don’t think many people will see this and that’s ok but whenever I hear the song I think of Dan’s lyrics from almost ten years ago “Jesus Christ, I’m 26, all the people I graduated with all have kids, all have wives, all have people who care if they come home at night, well Jesus Christ, did I fuck up?” And now hearing this song at around the same age he was when he wrote those lyrics almost a decade ago and it gives me so much hope. I stopped listening to TWY after The Greatest Generation for no particular reason, but I came back around with this album and I couldn’t be happier that I did. Much love to all of these guys

I've never found a lyricist I connect with more than Soupy. Maybe it is because we are the exact same sage (17 Jan 1986), but it seems that wherever I am at in my life, he too is in that place and able to explain it so perfectly. One of the greatest lyricists our scene has ever produced.

Imagine growing up and hearing your Dad sing about you like this.

Not a Dad. But If I ever am. I want to be this type of Dad. Beautiful song. TWY, thanks for always reminding me why you are my favourite band.

Whether this is the last one or they keep doing this for another 15 years, I'll remember this until I'm no longer here.

I'm a new Wonder Years fan, I absolutely love this song. I get emotional listening to it thinking of my one and a half year old, and thinking about our baby on the way. No song truly like it. Thank you!

Follow up: took baby girl home from hospital yesterday, this song was our soundtrack ❤

As a Dad to a 6 month old whose name is also Wyatt, this song hit me in the feels like a right hook. What is special as well is I used to listen to TWY in high school and only just rediscovered them with this song.

Will Yip is a fucking genius. What an amazing combo of band and producer.

Even is a song about sons. I Cry. I wish have a dad and a mom who loved me. But its ok. God allways will.

THE most underrated band I swear

Welp, it's official: Wonder Years is officially the greatest music group of all time in my opinion. Any of their members should be honored to be apart of the brand. Keep crushing it Wonder Years!! This is just absolutely perfect...

It's amazing how they just keep growing. This album is going to be incredible. And I can't get over how much I love the title of the album either.

Oooofaaah as they say in the ol' country. I've got a 2 year old and boy oh boy did I not planing on starting the day with a good cry this morning. Might sound lame to say as a 38 year old but I'll be damned if these lyrics aren't perfect the way they speak to me. Haven't heard the reality of parenthood put into such honest words... ever maybe.

As a father of a 3 year old little girl. Reading these lyrics made me bawl my eyes out

I'm having a son in October, this song really hits me. I hope I can be as great of a dad as everyone thinks I'll be.

“And you learned to say moon 🌝 - so we waved from your room” My heart is full ❤️

I remember hearing Melrose Diner on a random pop punk playlist on youtube all the way back in high school. I'm almost 30 years old with a couple kids, and these dudes have been there every step of the way, pumping out song after song I can find some way to relate to. The whole "this band saved my life" thing gets cliche' sometimes, but I literally do not know what I would do without them. Absolutely cannot wait for this next album to drop. Keep em coming boys. Head above water.

It was such a joy to have gotten to film this for and with you guys. Literally my favorite song you've ever put out. Cheers to era of THGOF :)

this video makes me bawl like a god damn child. i miss how small my children were.

So pumped they dropped this. But at the same time this record feels like it might be the last ride.

My spouse feels that vibe too, and it's true that the boys have moved apart physically as Josh is in Baltimore and Dan is in Jersey, but I just have hope that they will keep going because they would feel this gaping hole if they stopped. I don't think that other projects would take the place of the magic that this stuff has for them. And they have to complete a Burst and Decay trilogy, too!

First child on the way this month and this just hit me with so many different feelings.

halfway through my first listen and i’m already crying

I’ve been listening to these dudes since high school, and this song hits a special place in my heart with my first son being born in October. It’s like these guys have been on this journey with me. Thank you TWY

Second this 100%. TWY keeps maturing with the fanbase, which is rare to see. Makes them feel way more in touch. I feel a bit cringe when a band of 40-something adults puts out their 100th "kool-aid love & summer crushes" track.

I have grown up with TWY and these songs just continue to be unbelievably relatable. "Half awake caught in the way you breathe at night" hits closer to home than I can easily explain. (My 1.5yr old son has had respiratory problems since he was born and was recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea)

I just love how y'all have grown so much and still sound so damn good.

My Wyatt came January 7, 2024. Thank you for being such a big help in my life. Your music has helped so much ❤️

Man it is so awesome to see y'all progressing as a band over all these years, and it's amazing how well a lot of your songs match what I'm dealing with around the time that they come out. Thanks for being the best, The Wonder Years!!!

I can't listen without crying this song is so beautiful

Thanks for the song gentlemen :) and the decade+ of jams.

I'm getting so many little references to other TWY songs. "Your Name's the only one I like" I think is a reference to passing through a screen door. "I found a piece of glass in the garden, I dug it up with my thumb" may be a throwback to coffee eyes. I'm so stoked for the new album!

As every TWY album has an overall concept or theme I gues this one will be about continuing themes from previous ones. Madelyne (Oldest Daughter) "All the kids names I ever liked are linked to tragedy" is revisited here and the album features a song that is just called Cardinals II. I am excited to hear that thing in full.

Soupy, I needed this. I started listening to you when I first moved out onto my own. Now Im having a little boy of my own and TWY journey has followed me. This song means everything.

the "hard bridge part" at 2:38 has something similar to Father&Son by Cat Stevens and I so hope is intentional. Love this band more every album they release

This is the call to prime form. Cant wait for the record, absolutely swinging dudes ♥️

the boys are back baby

My love to my nephew for always letting me know he's still here with his family. I love n miss you more each n everyday❤️

Just keeps getting better

Glad to see TWY years growing older and maturing. Love the new songs.

One of the best pop punk band much love for wonder years 🖤

I support going back to this style again

"I've never been so afraid of failing at anything" .. exactly how i feel with my NOW (yesterday) 8 year old!

Cantou minha vida em The greatest generation na época, traduziu meus sentimentos sobre a morte do meu pai em No Closer to heaven, agora vejo muita coisa sobre a paternidade no novo álbum e é exatamente o momento da minha vida, descobrindo a paternidade, em conflito com as minhas inseguranças. Eu amo vocês de uma forma que nunca ninguém vai entender. É a banda da minha vida. I love you, the best Band forever 💙

Still waiting for TWY to surprise me and release a song I don’t immediately love. Apparently today’s not the day, cause this is yet another banger.

A little flying hank drawn up in the sky would have been incredible for this but either way, incredible song. This album is going to be life changing

This song hits me pretty hard. Father of a boy that was born in the pandemic. I have almost divorced from my wife getting trough the first year... We had the hard talks, are trying to build a life where he can flourish, be happy and most importantly: have peace. We both had troubled homes, now it's our turn to break the cycle by going, digging, planting the seeds and keeping the birds away. Thank you Dan, thank you TWY.

Old punk father of 2 young boys and I came back to TWY recently. This song caught me off guard and makes me ugly cry every time. I tell my boys I'm on their side all the time and I don't know if I have ever meant anything more. Hearing those lyrics just makes me so happy for your kids.

Fatherhood's a good look on him.

I don't think I'm emotionally ready for a new Wonder Years album right now... so I guess its the perfect time to hear it ❤

To just be a fly on the wall and watch you guys write a song. Oh would that be so sweet! You're amazing artists.

Holy hell this is good

I’m not gonna cry. I’m NOT gonna cry. I’m crying.

Shaking choking throwing up😭😍

The video makes me imagine the potential family picnics with all of the members of the band's families and all of the crew's families, a Wonder Years family reunion.

i think if my dad were still here for me to show him this song, he would play it on repeat every day. it really reminds me of him. this will always be one of my favorite bands of all time. so much genuine pain and love and emotion in everything they write. they hit like absolutely nothing else.

Expecting my first child in November and this song drops. Beautiful!

Saw them perform this live with my 10 year old daughter. What an amazing song and band

I've grown up with this band man and the progression of maturity across the years.. to THIS. Unbelievable. Hits home so damn hard. TWY forever

These songs are already getting stuck in my head. I’ve been singing “your name your name your name your name” and “Madelyn I don’t think that I’ll see you again” over and over in my head. Summer clothes too love this band. Is threadbare gonna be on this new album too?

the anticipation has never been greater. cannot wait to have the album on repeat

The band keeps growing with their fan base. You truly feel in tune with the same emotions as them and now you can sing to it.

Love this!!!! 💜💜💜💜

Can't stop listening to the new releases. Thanks so much for everything TWY! Favorite band and have been for years.
