Patrick Stump - Spotlight (New Regrets) Lyrics






Every word's a new regret if you say it right, right?
Every wound can be forgotten in the right light
Oh nostalgia, I don't need you anymore
'Cause the salad days are over and the meat is at my door

They might try to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't forget it's your right
To do whatever you like, you like

'Cause you could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you can shine so bright (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own--
'Cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light from somebody, somebody now (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight

Depression is a little like happy hour, right?
So, it's always gotta be happening somewhere on any (any) given (given) night
Oh nostalgia, I don't need you anymore
I just hope, my perfect stranger, that my kids look more like yours

'Cause they might try to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't forget it's your right
To do whatever you like, you like

'Cause you could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you can shine so bright (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own--
'Cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light from somebody, somebody now (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own--

'Cause I had, a little bit of bad luck
No wonder this crumbling world's stuck
A little sweetness keeps just out of reach
'Cause compassion is something that they just don't, just don't teach, teach

'Cause you could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you can shine so bright (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own--
'Cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light from somebody, somebody now (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight

    I breathe Soul Punk

    D.... D....

    Sameeee

  8. S.... o....

    still the better version after all these year goddamn why'd he got back this solo stuff was amazing

  9. C.... P....

    This is absolutely amazing

  10. K.... ....

    Both versions are equally fantastic.

  11. K.... H....

    This is my favorite song . I always listen to this song on Pandora :)

  12. D.... K....

    Honey, anything that comes out of your mouth is golden!

  13. A.... G....

    >w<🖒🖒🖒🖒💎🤗

  14. M.... U....

    I can't get how some people didn't liked such an amazing record!!, i mean he took the time to work his ass off in this proyect, and to share some of his personal music identity, and a part of the audience were really mean about it....i guess its like he once said, "art isn't for everybody" some will like it and some will not, anyway i love and preciate all sides of Mr. Stump eather is as a solo artist or in FOB, he's a very talented musician, a great human, and a very special person, hope to continue enjoying his evolutionary art for many years on.

  15. C.... G....

    Freaking amazing

  16. A.... K....

    I love both versions!😝

  17. Y.... ....

    unpopular opinion but i like this version better (not that oh nostalgia isn’t fantastic though)

  18. 5.... f....

    I love both of them.

  19. H.... ....

    Both versions are the best things ever

  20. Z.... B....

    I hate how people were shitting on Patrick because apparently his lyrics suck (what?) and his poppy style was crap. These lyrics are quite meaningful, if I may say

  21. C.... D....

    What is he look at?

  22. I.... q....

    :passes out: DANG PATRICK U HAWT LIL BEAN

  23. L.... ....

    funny how music works. Those old 1975/big sleep "eo eo"s tho.

  24. L.... ....

    i never knew this existed.... until today.
    (I knew about the other version)

  25. C.... C....

    HELP I CANT SPOT THE DIFFERENCE IM A BAD PERSON

  26. k.... D....

    i prefer this version

  27. G.... ....

    He should have included both!!! T_T

  28. M.... a....

    Ugh so hard I love both... I'm going to just have to have both

  29. T.... W....

    As much as I love "Oh Nostalgia" (and the video), this version is better!

  30. S.... N....

    It's hard to tell what version I like because they're both perfect

  31. C.... ....

    fucking amazing bought his album when it came out like all of fobs albums

  32. e.... m....

    I prefer this version over Oh Nostalgia, but both versions are phenomenal.

  33. R.... R....

    Unpopular opinion: I prefer this version :/

    R.... R....

    yusssss

    R.... R....

    We all have the right to our own opinion😊

    R.... R....

    me too!

  34. E.... B....

    I love both versions of this song, but Oh Nostalgia showcases his voice a bit more in my opinion. This version doesn't show off the amazing aspects of his voice as much, but that doesn't make me like it any less. I 💙 this sONG

  35. a.... a....

    oh nostalgia= crying happy tears
    new regrets= not crying. not even really feeling emotions. just dancing

    a.... a....

    very accurate

  36. D.... R....

    I think everyone has their own "cry song," where they always get a little emotional whenever they hear it.

    This is mine.

    D.... R....

    Mine is oh nostalgia (same song, slower)

    D.... R....

    @Sunset Youngblood IsNotAmazing Yeah, that gets me choked up too. Especially the music video.

  37. A.... B....

    i know this is old but i've always loved Oh Nostalgia more :), this one is fantastic too but there's just something about Oh Nostalgia that gets into you and stays there.

  38. d.... d....

    if you prefer this to oh nostalgia i can't trust you anymore

  39. I.... S....

    I love both versions because my favorite part and the part I connect to most is in both songs. "Depression is a little bit like Happy Hour, right? It's always gotta be happening somewhere on any given night"

  40. s.... p....

    I like this version better tbh

  41. J.... H....

    is patrick becoming a solo artist?

    J.... H....

    +Jaxson Harvey This is from 5 years ago

    J.... H....

    +maebesse so, no?

    J.... H....

    +Jaxson Harvey he did this solo album while fob was on their hiatus but he hasn't produced anything since then so i don't think he is

  42. N.... N....

    he looks so short and like he could kill you
    awe

    N.... N....

    He is short, lol.

  43. B.... ....

    Fucking 5 years ago...

  44. T.... J....

    I love both versions of this song but I actually kinda like Oh Nostalgia a little bit more

    T.... J....

    same here

    T.... J....

    +Catrick Stump Same

  45. a.... ....

    Oh Nostalgia is more of a chill and calm song when you can sit back and watch the sky and let the words speak to you.
    New regrets is more of a get up and dance and not give a f about anything cuz you're your own spotlight and just dance silly
    But both puts you in an amazing mood

    a.... ....

    I agree

    a.... ....

    As a drama kid I can tell you this is what happens when you get the spotlight

  46. r.... ....

    I love both versions. It is really hard to pick one. It depends on my mood. "New Regrets" has a more up beat electro sound, more of a dance song to me. Where "Oh Nostalgia has a more pop sound to me. I love them both! Patrick, you had a hard choice to make. "New Regrets" puts the step in my feet (dance), "Oh Nostalgia" puts a huge smile on my face, as my arms swing to the beat. If you ever see this #PatrickStump You are one talented human being! Singing solo or with Fall Out Boy, I am a huge fan. I hope to one day, get to, see you perform live in concert either solo or with FOB. I can only pray.

  47. C.... B....

    2 Things:1. OH MY GOSH! PATRICK ACTUALLY WROTE THE DESCRIPTION (instead of someone working for him)2. I like the other version a lot better than this one.

  48. A.... ....

    What I hear: Because the salad days are over and the meat is at my door
    What Patrick actually says: 'Cause the silent days are over and the beat is at my door

    A.... ....

    @Brianna Noback lets just all agree that Patrick needs to sing more clearly 

    A.... ....

    the actual lyrics are 'cause the salad days are over and the meat is at my door'. salad days is a reference to a shakespearean expression

    A.... ....

    cause the salad days are over and the Pete is at my door

    A.... ....

    EXACTLY

  49. K.... ....

    Okay but I think I prefer "Oh Nostalgia". Haha.

  50. K.... ....

    Can't pick because both are great.

  51. a.... ....

    He could sing me my math textbook and I'd still be in love with every word that comes out of his mouth.

    a.... ....

    Math does suck. Maybe if he sang a dictionary

    a.... ....

    then most students having difficulty in math would have higher grades then.. haha just kidding

    a.... ....

    I might actually fucking learn something

    a.... ....

    Lol he’s be like “the formula for a linear function is y = mx + b~”

  52. J.... W....

    both? both is good

  53. S.... M....

    Oh look I'm 5 years late, what else is new? XD..... But I like this version better than 'Oh Nostalgia'

    S.... M....

    Overcast Kid I'm like 7 years late XD

    S.... M....

    Overcast Kid it's okay, I'm 7 years late 😂😂😂

    S.... M....

    Sonya FLORES KNIGHT SAME

    S.... M....

    I quit roblox yt sorry God I'm 7years late too

    S.... M....

    Sarah McComas I'm 8 years late

  54. v.... b....

    i liked this version better ehe

  55. W.... C....

    Patrick I love you❤️❤️❤️

  56. f.... e....

    Okay let me just have a minute to obsess over how cute Patrick looks in that pic right there (and every picture ever tbh)

    f.... e....

    +Amelia Lozano uhm let me just have a minute to obsess over your picture tbqfh

    f.... e....

    Okay but yours is just :D

    f.... e....

  57. M.... K....

    I like Oh Nostalgia beter tbh, it just flows better.

  58. K.... O....

    I like oh nostalgia

  59. M.... ....

    I will forever prefer Oh Nostalgia, but as is the case with everything Patty-Cakes creates, this is amazing :3

    M.... ....

    MooAce same
    Also your name
    Also your pfp


    -ace fam-

    M.... ....

    Cool pro pic, were in the same boat

  60. K.... K....

    Toughie, Patrick.  On one hand I like how New Regrets is faster and how it has a more complex beat but on the other hand I like how Oh Nostalgia uses a piano melody and how the bass rumbles a bit more in my ears.  I'm sorry to say, but I'm going to have to give it a solid tie.

  61. A.... E....

    I wonder what it would sound like if New Regrets and Oh Nostalgia were made into a mashup.

    A.... E....

    The bridge/last verse is already lazily ripped from oh nostalgia. It even uses the same drum and guitar recording, just sped up.

    A.... E....

    Lazily ripped? He said he just couldn't decide between the two. They ARE the same song, this one is just faster with less soul-voice. Maybe he knew that he liked that recording in the end, and wanted it in the song either way.

    A.... E....

    That bridge is lazily ripped. It's literally just audio from the other version sped up. The drums sound squashed and distorted because of it.

    A.... E....

    Ashy Eternity Read the description, then talk.

    A.... E....

    Can we have that?

  62. A.... n....

    Just wondering this is after FOB right?

    A.... n....

    No, this is in the middle of Fall Out Boy

  63. A.... W....

    i like the words "the silent days over and the beat is at my door" just a bit better :)

  64. r.... h....

    Tbh I love them both but I think I like Oh Nostalgia a little better

  65. J.... ....

    I can't watch it ;___;

  66. r.... l....

    I honestly prefer this version.

  67. K.... L....

    i love this song so so much

  68. R.... P....

    I like "Oh nostaligia" better but this version is good too :)

  69. E.... ....

    It's really hard to decide. They are truly amazing.

  70. A.... S....

    Honestly, I like this better, despite being techno-averse. This has much more energy and is tighter.

  71. m.... p....

    Both versions are beautiful :)

  72. F.... J....

    Haven't heard this version in a long time, I forgot that the chorus had an extra part added to it. My god though, the bridge in this version feels so fucking out of place, like it was literally just carried over from the other version and sped up.

  73. Y.... L....

    ah, this song
    :3

  74. S.... R....

    I know this is 3 yrs late & you're probably not using this account anymore, but I love both versions of this song & love both albums. I have both on my Spotify Playlist. You are an amazing singer Patrick! XOXOXO :-D

  75. M.... ....

    Patrick, you are a amazing singer,  surprised we don't hear of you more often

  76. M.... ....

    Love this song

  77. A.... M....

    I love the beat on this one it's so catchy omg but Oh Nostalgia feels more fitting to the mood and overall "feel", so I'm glad that was the single. I LOVED THE VIDEO TOO

  78. J.... B....

    this is the best version 

  79. L.... G....

    oh nostalgia guy

  80. P.... ....

    after like 4 years, this song and album is still amazing

    P.... ....

    Patrick stump and fall out boy will ALWAYS be amazing

    P.... ....

    after 8 years its still amazing

  81. A.... 7....

    I Can't Choose Oh Nostalgia and New Regrets are both really good!

  82. K.... D....

    i think i like this one better :)

  83. J.... F....

    Ohh and 0:30-0:40 reminds me of FOB!!!(: The way he drags out the end of the last word!!(: Luv You Patrick!!

  84. J.... F....

    I like the less electronic sound to his voice in this one, but I like the beat and such of the (Oh Nastalgia) one! I know it doesnt matter now because the record is out! But jus wntd to say(:

  85. A.... A....

    He looks so different.
    *shivers*
    In a good way
    *extra shiver*
    THE INTERNET HATES CHANGE!

  86. M.... L....

    @2:25 IT reminds me of fall out boy really

  87. M.... L....

    what the hell!! i like both spotlight versions!!

  88. E.... ....

    0:00 Free Replay Button ;)

  89. i.... ....

    WHY PATRIC THE ACOUSTIC IS SO MUCH BETTER

  90. t.... ....

    i hope this is the version on the album whooo

  91. a.... ....

    Um guy you know the voting is over right? Because he already chose which is on his album along time ago. Or is there voting for a different reason?

  92. A.... M....

    omgosh. maybe. i've been listening to Oh Nostalgia way too much and hearing this the first time may sound strange to me. BUT i like this version too just as the other version, BUT if i had to choose, it would be the other version!
    keep on rocking Patrick!

  93. f.... ....

    I like both versions!!!! Can one b a bonus track?

  94. K.... C....

    I like them both because in their similarity they are different and applicable to different situations. However I did hear Oh Nostalgia first, and the video is just freakin' awesome, so I'm gonna vote for that one.

  95. k.... ....

    i dont know which one i like more new regrets or oh nastalgia but i know i love you Patrick

  96. M.... ....

    Patrick, for the love of the awesome sideburns you used to have, make more songs like this one. Please.

  97. a.... ....

    I like the other one, Oh Nostalgia (just in case you didnt kno wwhat other one I was talking about...), better.
    This one I can get down to, but the other one is like YEAH!, you know?
    Both are lovely though.

  98. T.... S....

    I think I prefer this one better, good job on both though. :)

  99. P.... ....

    I can't believe it's been almost a year. We already have Soul Punk almost in our hands.
