The ear to ear smile i wore for that entire video performance was rejuvenating as well as therapeutic. With the inception of Bad Books, its seemingly pointless to mix in other music of any kind. Ive sworn off other entirely and am now on a strict vegan diet of Andy and Kevin. 2 of the 5 greatest songwriters of our time are in this. They should tour with two toughs, another amazing all-star band. Really though its a rather elementary concept. Andy Hull plus Kevin Devine equals? Nuff Said...
Good music :) love Manchester's old style and this project (Bad Books) captures that for me in music i havent heard yet. Manchesters orchestra's new stuff isnt quite the same as it used to be. I would go for more acoustic/raw Machester than most of the new stuff.
Crooked days come bundled up in bunches They break your brain like a branch And push you out here asking after something You should know I don't have 'Cause if I had it, you wouldn't have to ask If I had it, you wouldn't have to ask Later on when you bargain with your mirror And you ask, "Is it really that bad?" Well, if it wasn't, you wouldn't have to ask If it wasn't, you wouldn't have to ask (Well,) How could you know if you didn't? What's left to say when your tongue's turned to ash? Oh, I'll tell you you're fine and forgiven So you wouldn't have to ask Shoot what's left, slip inside your sinner's smile Another man in a mask But if you faced it you wouldn't need a mask If you meant it you wouldn't need a mask If I could fix you, you wouldn't have to ask If I could help you, you wouldn't have to ask
@jkim0218 The other 3? Max Bemis, Jesse Lacey, but more than anyone, Chris (motherfucking) Conley. I've actually met Chris and talked to all of Saves the Day, as well as having them all autograph my Daybreak LP. They are truly an amazing band who i would love to see tour with Manchester, or Bad Books (Manchester+KD)!!!
@jkim0218 Yeah i cover a whole bunch of Say Anything and Brand New on my page, check it out if you got a second. Ill eventually get around to dooing Mesa Arizona, Right Away Great Captain, and Do You Really Like Being Alone. Ive just been far too lazy as of late. HAHAHAH! All the Manchester video's are priceless. They are more funny and entertaining than anything thats on mainstream tv these days. All those bands kick ass! Thats pretty much it for good new music though. Typical dickhead stance.
Two original and different voices doing such harmonies makes an incledible contrast and it sounds GREAT!
It sounds like Andy Hull double tracked in harmony.
If this song was an hour long it still wouldn't be long enough.
Andy is excellence
True, but this is Kevin's song.
i love this song so much
The two voices 😮💨
best song I have ever heard.
How great are these lyrics
That disappearing and reappearing jacket on the drummer!
My only wish is that this song was longer, I love everything about it.
Awesome song ❤
this song rocks, and needs to be longer!!!
excited to see them on sat.
Classiest video I have ever seen.
they need to tour again
i like the video concept. great song.
Live tonight at the crescent in Phoenix, going early so I can meet them, stoked.
What an excellent way to start the day! Fantastic video! Time to use all this inspiration to make some tunes.
The fact that I've met both of them. JESUS. So handsome & brilliant.
This was exactly what I was searching for! Thanks so much! Time to make some music myself. ❣️❣️
bad books is so freaking amazing!
Is that Andy Hull!?!?
Perfect thanks...
This randomly gets stuck in my head all the time xDD
@DeathBox18 yeah well that would make sense considering andy hull has talked about Weezer being a big influence on his music a lot.
One of my favorites! Keep up the wonderful work! Feeling inspired to make music myself! ⭐

+Clayton Hayes You should check out Right Away Great Captain if you're into the more acoustic stuff
+Brian thanks man :) I actually got almost all 3 albums memorized now lol. Can't get enough of Andy haha
I always felt 'Simple Math' was Manchester Orchestra at its best but yea after it it's not quite the same....
Been awhile.. How do you after a black mile to the surface??
Amazing Album! 9/10 for me
great video. bad books are great live :D
@DarthXasthur you can't say that, there is so much good new music its overwhelming but you just have to dig a little more for it
tambourine master!
Is that Penn and Teller?
Did you guys see Manchester Orchestra's video premiere for "Simple Math" on IFC? Its pretty rad.
Damn. This is Beatles quality shit right here.
Who is this?
Cool!
Can Anybody Tell Me What Went Wrong in 2016?!
Nice song Bad Beards ;)
awesome song! 10/10 not a surprise lol
I Wish This Song was a Little Bit Longer, Like 2:52 or 3:01!
this is great! :D
listen to im an island by kaz piech
@number1ontop Hey is that guy playing the acoustic guitar the bassist for Manchester Orchestra?

How many bands is Andy in or has been in or what? ..Manchester Orchestra, right away great captain, bad books?
What an awesome Weezer cover band.
I love those dresses! Anyone know what they are?
I never realized how short this song was till just now.
I Wish I Had a Time Machine SO Bad!!!!
I never knew Shay Carl was in a band!!!!
wow, i just found them on spotify. thanks god! they're amazing!!!
PWAHAHAHAA YES!!!!! YES!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!
the drummer is so cute :)

Crooked days come bundled up in bunches
They break your brain like a branch
And push you out here asking after something
You should know I don't have
'Cause if I had it, you wouldn't have to ask
If I had it, you wouldn't have to ask
Later on when you bargain with your mirror
And you ask, "Is it really that bad?"
Well, if it wasn't, you wouldn't have to ask
If it wasn't, you wouldn't have to ask
(Well,) How could you know if you didn't?
What's left to say when your tongue's turned to ash?
Oh, I'll tell you you're fine and forgiven
So you wouldn't have to ask
Shoot what's left, slip inside your sinner's smile
Another man in a mask
But if you faced it you wouldn't need a mask
If you meant it you wouldn't need a mask
If I could fix you, you wouldn't have to ask
If I could help you, you wouldn't have to ask
@gladitsnotme Boo
@gladitsnotme haha thats what i was gonna say, but thought i better check the comments.. :)
@tornupcollegeapps Ben definitely looks like Mark. Oh man.
@jkim0218 The other 3?
Max Bemis, Jesse Lacey, but more than anyone, Chris (motherfucking) Conley.
I've actually met Chris and talked to all of Saves the Day, as well as having them all autograph my Daybreak LP. They are truly an amazing band who i would love to see tour with Manchester, or Bad Books (Manchester+KD)!!!
"Later on with my brother 69in'"
Even if I got in a car crash earlier that day, the SF Bad Books show was pretty amazing and made it a great night.
they don't exactly have the 60s dance down
I remember seeing Manchester Orchestra and Kevin Devine and not even knowing of Bad Books. Now I'm sure I like Bad Books more than both.
1:00 - 1:02 my face while listening to this song
It sounds a little like early Weezer, at least this song, most of their other stuff doesn't
@DarthXasthur I would argue Rivers Cuomo, Adam Marsh, and Ben Gibbard would be in a top 5.
Not enough if you ask me.
wait... andy hull... what?!?!?!?!?
who the hell is shay carl?
Could use more cow bell....
i was born in the WRONG decade, gah!
I hope freeman comes back for bb3
Who the fuck is Shay Carl?
their sound reminds me of Weezer
Kevin Devine looks like Toby from the office, also I'm waiting for Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl to make an appearance ala Lithium, lastly...great band
Chis Freeman still looks blind.
Andy Hull wishes he could be as cool as Kevin Devine
@Soxrule11 Good Beards you mean ;) ;) hahaa
is that Lenny Kravitz!?
Dean Wollenberg, I was thinking the same thing!
I wonder why..?>Sarcasm
I miss Jeremiah.
manchester orchestra featuring kevin devine :pppppp....... whatta...????
clearly there are at least 4 rebecca black fans...
Hate the video but great song

Nicki, please, stop staring at me. I'm enjoying music, don't fuck this up.
I loved the vocal harmonies ... didn't like the guitar solo ....great melody ...
Oh, these fellas and their neck-beards~
@SunnyManchester A dude who thinks he's funny on youtube
clearly there are at least 4 rebecca black fans...this is not a good thing.
Who the fuck is Shay Carl?
