It took me years to find this song. Heard it when it was new and was like "hey, this song sounds pretty solid." Forgot about it. Year or so later, the song plays before a commercial break during an NFL game. I go, "Oh shit, I forgot about this song, better look it up before I forger about it." Watch the music video a few times. Forgot about it.

Years later on, my mind is constantly trying to figure out what this song is. I couldn't remember the lyrics, couldn't remember what it sounds like. Only remember some details, like that it was sung by an all male band, the song was short (under 4 minutes long), it was from the 2010s, the beginning of the music video, the fact that the title is repeated numerous times in the chorus, that it's a more positive song, and that some of the video has them singing in front of water. My issue was that I messed up the message of the song. For whatever reason, I thought it was a break up song with the singer being like "I'm better without you regardless of how well you are doing". Instead it's a song about not having and regerts.

I posted a thread on Reddit back around COVID, trying to find the song. One guy replied with a "I might have a couple ideas, but can you provide more information" and then never replied with those ideas he had. Every once in a while, I'd look around for the song. Once tried to find it my YT watch history. Tried searching Billboard charts. It was never a #1 song, so that made it impossible to find.

I'm not forgetting it this time. Glam rock. Peaked at #5 in the Alt Rock charts in the US.
