"Cool Kids (our version)" Lyrics:
She sees them walking in a straight line
That’s not really her style
They all got the same heart beat
But hers is falling behind
Nothing in this world could ever bring them down
Yeah they’re invincible and she’s just in the background
And she says
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Cuz all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
He sees them talking with a big smile
But they haven’t got a clue
Yeah they’re living the good life
Can’t see what he is going through
They’re driving fast cars but they don’t know where they’re going
In the fast lane, living life without knowing
And he says
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Cuz all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Cuz all the cool kids, they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
I thought I wanted to be cool
Like somebody else
But 10 years later
I’m just a picture on the shelf
Memories in a haze
But I keep looking back
I keep seeing myself
Cuz the ceiling’s glass
After all this time
No I can’t lie
I was just another person that was screaming
When they said
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Cuz all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
Thanks for stopping by the studio! ❤❤❤
YEAHHH!
I would listen to this song when I'd come home from school around 2015-2018 and I'd cry, id wish so desperately i could be like everyone else and fit in. I'm so glad so many others hold this song so close to their hearts like me, here I am all these years later and im crying for a different reason. 💖
same same same friend!!!! love you
@@echosmith love yall forever thank you for this song 💖
No reasons to cry anyway, be happy and enjoy music :)
I bet you were cool as hell in your own way!
@@echosmith Hello Sydney I’m an old dude ! And the moment I discovered You’ll about four years ago I said oh my God these kids are special they are incredible I call y’all my little brothers and sisters and brag about you every chance I get y’all keep going keep rockin Miss Jamie💝
This song is TIMELESS! it could be 100 years old and I'd still be listening to it
The original is basically a classic to me. But, man, this new version here is a thing of perfection. It’s wonderful to fall in love with a song again, to find it’s improved-better than nostalgia to come to something old and find it new after all.
@@Icu__hotel_hotel Bruh, you can't just kill people like that.
My remix of this song kzhead.info/sun/et6Ep7GQrpewqKs/bejne.html
hmm I'm not sure yet, you'll have to wait until I digest it more before I let you know for sure how it hits me, I was probably one of the very first people to dance to this song, it just enveloped by soul 🤔
The original is better.
Both are amazing. I prefer this one even more than the original! You might need some good headphones where it really shines a ton.
I’m LEGIT obsessed with this new version! Echosmith is critically underrated and deserves more recognition!
THANKS FRIEND
@@echosmith You're welcome! Excited to meet y'all in November!
@@FriendlyKat where will they be playing in November?
Such a Great song I would consider myself in high school popular and since I been on the fence. And the feeling of inadequacies is only temporary for all who has lost hope it'll return in due time as patience is a virtue I promise you that I am a recovering heroin addict who has lost everything as once things were different, My fiance n my sister within a yr of each other I'm so fragile
@@echosmith do you have anymore coming out this year
The beautiful new bridge is like a puzzle piece which was missing to complete the song to perfection ❤️
Omg I LOVE THAT
It kind of clarifies the meaning of the song. Or at least makes it a little more explicit. The original implies the misfits are better off, despite them feeling otherwise. The new version adds that years passing proved this.
@@Wiley_Coyote i wouldn't say clarifies honestly. I think it's just that we've all grown and from their own experiences they chose to make a bridge that also helps the song grow and have a new meaning
@@placeholderblankspace oh no no no , I was born with the meaning into a vipers den, but honey badget dont give a fuck.
When this song came out, I remember wanting to be a cool kid, fitting in. Now, I have learned that my strength and coolness has been found. I didn't need to fit in. I needed to find friends who embraced me standing out alongside them.
The ESSENCE, I'm sure, of why they added that beautiful Bridge
Yessss! Cool Kids ASSEMBLE !!!
!!!! 🤍
Nerd's
This version is so good!! Added to my 'soothing' playlist.
Oooh love it!!!
My remix of this song kzhead.info/sun/et6Ep7GQrpewqKs/bejne.html
guitars: NONE
@@Lowered_Gadh Is the Bass not a guitar?
@@DustyMill it's not "per se"
Such a criminally underrated song. It’s sooo chill and relaxing. Echosmith deserve more recognition.
My remix of this song kzhead.info/sun/et6Ep7GQrpewqKs/bejne.html
A classic. Hard to believe that you were 16 years old when this song was originally recorded. I'm glad that the band is still together
Looking at the comments I see that I was right. This does mean a lot to everyone. Thank y'all for making this. You're all truly amazing. God bless!
MUSIC FOR MY EARS!!!!!!
I am 62 years old and I love this song
Many kids around the world knows what this cool young lady sings about! I was born in 1955 so I'm 67 today. I still remember school😿But I was crazy about music in the 60's, and still loves to hear a good pop song today! I have loved the talented cool kids from Echosmith since day one! Thank you 💖☮☯🤟
10 years later (8 since I first discovered you guys), this bridge was something I didn't know I desperately needed. Time passed was much needed for this new part to make sense. Your music was, and forever will be a constant light for me. Thank you Echosmith for sticking around with us through all these years 🤍
I remember this song/ band from back in the day...... so amazing to see them still doing their thing, absolute legend of a family!
you’re the best
I started listening to pop/CHR radio again back in 2013-14 being bored at work. I discovered a lot of interesting stuff then. Echosmith, Lorde, Tove Lo, Powers, Cannons...etc. It's almost 10 years ago and I'm 50 now.
NOSTALGIA! Those new lyrics were great!
Thank you so much!
Love when artist's work on and re-record their old songs, shows amazing dedication to giving listeners a better experience
Yess
Thank you so much for bringing Cool Kids and its memories back alive in 2022, this song means so much to me. It reminds me of my father. I told him it was my favorite song and he loved it too, he played it repeatedly on our last holiday trip in 2015 and he passed away in 2020. I wish he could hear this beautiful version in heaven🥺 love you guys❤️
Back in 2014 whit this song ❣️
9 years ago and now, this song is my absolute favorite ❤❤ love you guys soo muchh!!😚😚😚
Love YOU
It's been 7 years since it was released and the song is still a catchy tune for me
@@kailindenberg6569 It's 9...They performed this at Warped Tour 2013, I've seen it live like 50 times, haha
The drummer is the cool kid!
I've been a fan of the band for years now and I'm still BITTERLY ANGRY that they don't get the recognition they so deserve.
What a loser
My remix of this song kzhead.info/sun/et6Ep7GQrpewqKs/bejne.html
Sameee and an underrated band 😅
Still loveing it
My favorite song!!!
This song came out a mere few months after I finally graduated from secondary school. My school was 100% ruled by “the cool kids” and although I despised them, I can very much relate to the desire to belong to such a group (just because all humans want to belong!). I really love the new bridge. It emphasises how I always felt: you might wish to be like the cool kids, but realise that you can never make a difference unless you are different. THANK YOU Echosmith for all your amazing songs ❤️
Used to listen to this song with my mum thinking the chorus was "I wish that I could be like a cookie" 😂 this music made my day ❤️
Being a cookie would be so sick😅
@@lt4406 guess you got to be eaten quite often 😂 🍪
Triple choc chip cookies 🍪😋🤤
You are not alone lollll
My remix of this song kzhead.info/sun/et6Ep7GQrpewqKs/bejne.html
When this song released I instantly fell in love w it and after all these years it’s still one of my favorite songs 🥹🫶🏼 such a special song
This song means so much to me even though I’ve only just recently discovered it. It encourages me to pick up the broken pieces, and it reminds me that I once had better times. Thanks to Echosmith, this beautiful song puts me in a better mood.
This is soooo good
Its was Nikolas Cruz' favourite song, The Parkland Shooter, he said it completely captivated his hopeless angst and hatred to kill others, can't help feeling sorry for the guy even though what he did was terrible
@@ehLeanne311suffice it to say that is the exact opposite message of this song
when I first heard Cool Kids, ngl I did desperately wanted to be one of the 'cool kids'. but now years later hearing this version, I'm more happy being me. Thanks for the music and everything Echosmith 🥰
I found this version 1 year later, but goddam! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow, how many years, my childhood
Cool Kids Forever!!!❤❤❤ Poland🇵🇱
I was going through quite a tough and lonely period back when this song was first being played on the local radio, back in 2015 in Finland. It struck a real chord in me, touched the sore spots and filled them with warmth. That the band was just starting out then, fitted right in with the song. It was a very special time, and the song fills a large part in this time. Also very much for its warmth. Thanks for the song and memories.
This song reminds me of 2014. One of the best years of my life, this band doesn't realise the impact they made with this song.
They do. The fact that they were on the radio with a hit is no accident. I'm sure the Sierota family loves the positivity they get from us.
I loved the original version of cool kids but got to say echo Smith you nailed it. Well done and thank you for the music
Thank you James!!! Appreciate you
I'm almost 63 and have been a fan since the first version came out. Love the new version too!
They literally recreated their music video video from years ago and seeming them like this again feels very nostalgic ugh love them reminds me watching them first in MTV
Still listening to this song 2022.
This song never gets old and never will. To this day one of my favorite songs. It has a special spot in my play list. I remember this when it came out I was a sophomore in high school. I literally listened to it daily and still on repeat. I’m from San Diego also so I will always support you guys! Glad you guys are getting more recognition well deserved!Thank you for everything.
Every time I hear this song, I think of my special needs friend who loved this song and wanted me to play it (and sing it) for her. Thank you... she is a special young lady and I will always consider her a "cool kid". Love you Princess!
She a very Kool singer
9 years have passed since the release of the song and you still look just as beautiful and young✨❤
This song was great!!! The sound of the drums combined with the bass, was amazing!!!
I'm here again after 1 year. At 01:00 am in the morning. Today, the 06/09/2023th, completes 1 year of this amazing song!!! ❤️✨️
Great it's likr going back years :)
almost 10 Years Later and I still wish I was part of the Cool Kids but I'm also happy where I am now!
I never really was a cool kid/guy and I often felt sad because of it. This song helped me by making me feel not alone, thank you ❤️.
Imagine making an incredible song and then making it again and still making it incredible, mad props
This is the best re-make/re-singing of a song by the original artist in the last decade. Thank you so much. On repeat ❤
First time i heard this is when im 18. Now im already 27 and still inlove with this song. Remembering my old self the young me, how i enjoy life to the fullest without hesitations. Giving me chills and tears
Sidney is beautiful i love the way she sings
esta canción me encanta . recuerdo que hace años la escuchaba antes de dormir 🇲🇽
I remember when I was at work we took our group home to a free concert and this band came out and it was really awesome.
I'm 75 years old and I love this song your never too old to be young❤
Well, that’s a statement..
Still as awsome as ever
My kind of song I could never fit it with those cool kids I relate to this song so much
I still relate to it so much too
I remember when this song came out and I was listening to the radio in my Pontiac and when it came on,I lowered the windows and turned up the radio and started vibing out! Good times,good times.
doesnt matter how many version they made..this song will always has special place in my ❤
Love people that are authentic...and these guys are!! Bravo!!
So cool! The song that introduced most of us to our favorite band, Cool Kids was and still is an amazing song, in both versions! Keep up the great music guys!
Now that I’m in high school this song hits harder than ever. I hold echosmith very dear to my heart.
such a nice song, it relaxes me so much while I'm driving, those were good times
This song makes me happy every single time I listen to it. I didn't know it existed until yesterday. I have been listening to it on repeat for hours and hours. I wish I could be like the cool kids because all the cool kids they seem to fit it
Los amooooo
Years later and i stil love this song. I literally binge play it every once in awhile
oh, the memories! ❤ SAUDADE DEFINE.
Always have loved her voice since way back when
I absolutely love it, you all are such an inspiration! That new bridge is fire! See y'all in Philly!
THANKS MICHAEL
Ich liebe das immernoch so sehr wie am ersten Tag als ich es gehört habe 🥰
Love that!
1:35 .. That part is sooooooo great,,, i had to repeat that part multiple times .. AWESOME
This song is a weird nolstalgia trip I remember being in school listening to this and a few years ago it popped back into my life and now this version really brings back the memories. Love it, love the band.
The beeeeestt!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
Cool Kids is progress to be in the top 5 of all time song! ❤
The way the drummer plays the drum, he is look like a cool kids.
Take it from this 60 year old dude, don't give up!!!
I love it
Love this reimagining! ❤️🔥
Sydney just looks so elegant in that dress with her red hair! Such a beautiful voice
My favorite song 😍😍 still in my playlist since 2016 and now.. 💕
omg i absolutely adored this song when it first came out. i was around 10 years old when i heard it. i'm 18 now, so i can't believe it's been 8 years!! this new version sounds amazing!! so excited for this new era!!
I recently listened to the original version then I saw this and the new version of the bridge is like my present-day self talking to my younger self.
I remember when I heard it in 2015 I loved this song and shared it with who was my fiancée at the time. Now I listen to it and it brings back memories, thanks for continuing to make music
I like how the song was never forgotten and able to evolve over time.👍👍👍
In high school, I desperately wanted to be like the cool kids. Today, as I am in graduate school, I've become happy with who I am and who I was.
Aquele momento que estive esperando
How she has same colour of dress like drums 😭👌👌. Beatiful colour. And great voice!
This is my 2023 version, love it ❤
They've still got it ❤
I feel so bad for those who only know "Cool Kids" from Echosmith, cause they're a whole incredible band It's amazing to think that the same band who released songs like "Come Together", make songs like Diamonds nowadays They might be in a new era, but their essence still in the same "younger dreamer" vibe Also, it's so cool how they still reminisce their old times, like singing "Cool Kids", which was a very important song to their career Love y'all, Sierota Squad!
Listening all the way from south africa,i love this song it brings back the 14yr old version of me who was shy and dealing anxiety it was easy but ive made it through Thank you My Almighty GOD
Forever in love with this song ❤
Thank you Echosmith for the great music I hope you are successful in life.
Después de 9 años, esta canción sigue siendo un referente para mí ❤️
La canción salió en 2015. Entonces han pasado 7 años
@@kailindenberg6569 la cantaban desde antes, en los warped tour cuando eran independientes;) desde 2013 checa en KZhead
Guys you really made me so happy years ago when I needed a song to make me feel strong, happy, you guys came along and then Cool Kids became my favorite song I’ll never forget how this song makes me feel and now that I find out this version is as if that stage came to an end, a stage where I was defining who I was, now I know it and you were there for me, I will always love you❤️
I love this version what a treat!
Sounds like a cool variation to keep it fresh.
Might be fun to play this version on tour 🙈
this song is literally describes my whole life. I love it so much. It helps to remind me to enjoy life past the limit.
The guy playing drums> The most laid-back relaxed face i have ever seen.
One of my favorites songs of all time! 😍
