I love how raw this footage is. Gives you such a realistic live feel to it. Now and days everyone has to have quality mixed covers or live performances on UA-cam or else no one gives a shit to watch them.
There’s something about this video’s composition that really feels like home. The time of year, the cracks in the sidewalk. The awkward sincerity. I love everything about it.
10 years old... Wow. Currently feeling nostalgic af. Ill never forget St.Louis Warped '14 for the rest of my life, and meeting Dan and the guys. Still have the picture somewhere. Thanks for getting me through some.of the hardest times and thanks for the memories.
Everyone says it but, you are truly the reason I’m able to take a breath to this day. This album helped me through some fucked up shit. You helped me through the bad decision I attempted to make.
JULY 2019, STILL LISTENING TO THESE FIRST SONGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET! Guys like you make us remember that we all started at the bottom. Thank you REAL FRIENDS
i wish i could convey how much this song means to me. thank you for playing music, and i will buy every record you guys put out. what i had was everything i needed to feel okay.
What Dave’s playing on lead on that break between the first and second verse is sooo crazyyy ! It’s sooo dope and good considering I’ve been covering for this on acoustic for the last three weekks
So excited for you guys and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. I'm from the Milwaukee area so naturally I was galvanized when I found out that you guys are from the Chicago area. Be sure to stop by your sister city every now and again, you won't regret it! ...well, hopefully haha.
dude they have an electric version of this song - and idkk , i HOPE they have an acoustic version on the EP, which comes out this week :) we will have to see
I love how his voice sounds the same on a recording and and live, unlike other artists.
agreed!
Thanks for all the kind words everybody, we really appreciate it! To all the fake accounts-thank you for the enthusiasm but not necessary :)
The birds chirping during the quiet parts and pauses make the song... prettier. Thumbs up
It needs all the help it can get.
I love how raw this footage is. Gives you such a realistic live feel to it. Now and days everyone has to have quality mixed covers or live performances on UA-cam or else no one gives a shit to watch them.
