What was your music taste like back when you were young? Maybe you were more ravenous for rock, or maybe you were hungrier for hip-hop. Or maybe you were a little like us with a particularly potent desire for all things pop-punk and pop-rock. If that’s the case, then we just know that you’ll love this new song! Feel that sweet nostalgia wash over you when you listen to ‘When We Were Young’ by pop-rock icons MEST, which features the legendary Jaret Reddick of Bowling For Soup!
You know us, honey. We love all kinds of music here in this hive, but our soft spot for pop-punk and pop-rock will always be massive. So, really, wasn’t it obvious that this track was going to be right up our alley?
MEST celebrates youth with a perfect punch of nostalgia with ‘When We Were Young.’ The cherry on top is having Bowling For Soup’s Jared Reddick involved in the track! This song is just all around perfect to us.
We Can’t Get Enough Of The Lyrics
The meaning behind ‘When We Were Young’ by MEST can be found in the lyrics. It’s all about looking back at the easier, better times when there were fewer things to worry about in our youth. Because, really, being an adult with responsibilities compared to a kid with a whole bunch of fun and freedom with little stress? Honey, adulting is hard work.
“My dreams turned into nightmares
My hope turned into who cares
Passion, and love become
Our past and what once was
Feel lost inside my head
Now all I see is red
Building thoughts of regret
Wishing I could reset
This game we call life”
Although the song instigates nostalgia and provokes reminiscent thoughts of the past, it aims to do so through a sorrowful perspective.
“Can’t stop listening to the voice in my head
Always telling me that I’m better off dead
The look inside your eyes reminds
Me of thе better times
Why can’t wе go back to when we were young?
When we were young”
MEST has showcased their talents with ‘When We Were Young’ and their capability to keep things upbeat in their sound while nodding to real feelings in their lyrics that we can all relate to.
Want To Know The Best Bit?
If you love this song as much as we do, then we’ve got some exciting news for you! MEST is in the process of getting ready to release not one, not two, but three albums! Can you believe it? Because we can’t! And we especially can’t believe that we can expect all three to come out this year. Our minds are blown!
The first album to arrive from MEST this year is called Youth, and what a fitting first single ‘When We Were Young’ is with a title like that.
Youth is set to arrive on May 31st, and until then, we will be blasting ‘When We Were Young’ and all that MEST has to offer with their music at full volume!
