Perhaps one of you can give me a hand here. Trying to remember a song (cant remember the name of the song or band) but I do remember parts of the music video. I want to say it was early 2000's. The music video was animated, started off with kid riding a skateboard down and hanging out with friends. theres a time skip, and the kid is going through boot camp and shipped off to middle east.
My google-fu has failed me.
