Can't believe this came out in 2019. It sounds like a classic. It sounds like something I've heard for years.
Yes
Because you did. It's the reason by hoobastank haha
@@_serpent The only thing this shares with that song, as far as I know, is key, besides that I'm pretty sure it has VERY different melody
Cuz the guitar sounds a bit like dashboard confessional or death cab for a cutie
They literally rip off a classic, Comfortably Numb. Are you fucking with us?
Whenever Haley says “now whenever I try to be clear with you, I only end up feeling see through.” while the trumpet plays: I have an existential crisis every time I hear it but I can’t stop repeating it..
That's literally what I've felt. I've had to play that bit on repeat till I felt desensitised enough to move on with my life.
Eargasm. Full body chills on that one
I like the part where he says "i used to struggle in my youth." That one resonates with me
Me too . I feel you
"Infinity War is the best crossover in history"
PolyvinylRecords: "Hold my tears"
I just remembered listening to this song when my husband past away last year of March. I was just sitting, staring blankly thinking my husband would have loved this song as much as I liked it when I discovered this and listened to it. It saddens me that the person i used to share things that I enjoy is no longer there to enjoy with me. This will always be my last song for my husband.
damn, that is a heavy comment. I know that these probably sound like empty words from a stranger but I am sorry for your loss. I can't and won't say I understand what that is like. I'm sure your husband would be happy that you think of him when you listen to this. Stay strong!
fuck man that hurt
This made my heart hurt! Sending love and light to you! Never be afraid to cry for him! Sending light and love to you!! May you find peace in your heart and mind 💚
Hope things are getting better
Awww Tax. Mario, HMS, Zack and ARONIOUS2 amalgamate my feels. Be silly when you can.
god bless the SADDAD tuning
hahaha good one
*I blamed my father in my youth
Now as a father, I blame the booze*

So glad to hear from Hayley again after she decided to go off the grid (social media). been missing her so much now ❤
@jade h That's the sad thing, but at least we know that Hayley is trying to get better, so.. just hope for the best.

@@marktilos6197 bro wtf don't die
I love how we are livin in a timeline where blake anderson is in an american football video and also that hayley williams sings on it
Right? What a time to be alive
Yeah, if you had asked me that when LP1 came out and I would've said "who?"
Times are bad clearly
Let's not forget that it's directed by Atiba Jefferson. Dude's a legend
I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE BLAKE THE FUCK
"Now whenever I try to be clear with you, I only end up feeling see-through."
That pun is beautiful.
Definitely intended - source: all other Mike Kinsella lyrics
i don't get the meaning, can someone please explain it?
@@iemayaaudio5734 being that this is a song about a father and his son im gonna go ahead and interpret it as the son being honest but ultimately being ignored by its father that is also dealing with his own problems
@@iemayaaudio5734 clear = straight up and honest. See through=no substance, weak, obvious.
Also, clear = see through
@@AndroidSunrise too complex for my lil brain.
hayley williams your voice has cured all of my ailments
hahahaha exactly my thought! thank you sis! she did!!
Yea it does. Everytime im in pain i just need a listen to her then ill go get normal again. Weird flex

lyrics :
Sensitivity deprived
I can't feel a thing inside
I blamed my father in my youth
Now as a father, I blame the booze
I have become uncomfortably numb
Who's ugly side is the ugliest
Sensitivity deprived
All my sympathy prescribed
Who's hands are tied to a contorsionist
I used to struggle in my youth
Now I'm used to struggling for two
I have become uncomfortably numb
The lessons
The lessons
Are so much
Are so much
Less obvious
The further you get from home
The further I get from home
How will you exist
How will I exist
Without consequence
I'll let you know
We were gentle to begin
Then I pushed you around to break you in
Now whenever I try to be clear with you
I only end up feeling see-through
I've tried, but you've won
Comotose, like father like son
The lessons
The lessons
Are so much
Are so much
Less obvious
The further you get from home
The further I get from home
How will you exist
How will I exist
I don't want to know
Blacked out, protected
I just want you home
I'll make new friends in the ambulance
Thanks. I was trying to figure out Hayley's stuff in the 2nd verse but couldn't. Sounds spot on.
tbh I hear "break you again" instead of "break you in"
the lessons trully so much
WelcomeToMyParty Like passed out. Unconscious.
I wish I had come up with those lyrics,,,,, really good stuff!!
That is so real to me. I'm literally met some of the nicest most caring people in the ambulance on the ride to the hospital or mental asylum after another OD or breakdown. I lost count of how many times I took that trip when it hit double digits. What an incredibly well-written song. Every single line and verse is completely perfect. A true masterpiece of song writing.
everyone’s talking about Hayley and i love her too but darn can we please just appreciate how amazing american football is :”)
Those 2000's kids won't know the importance of American football to the alternative rock scene...
clicked for them not hayley tbh
poppy harlow Exactly.
ɢʟᴏʀɪᴀ ʙᴏʀɢᴇʀ
oh i'm appreciating!
That line "I used to struggle in my youth, now I'm used to struggling" really makes me sad
"Whenever I try to be clear with you, I only end up feeling see-through" is one of the prettiest and most clever lines I've heard in a while :)
“I’ll make new friends... in the ambulance” That’s the line that really does it for me. What an emo triumph.
I always heard "in the end you lose"
When Hayley sings, "I just want you home." Gets me every time.
i love Hayley's voice. this song is so good. "the lessons...the lessons 🎶"
My 3 week-old son loves Mike Kinsella. Started playing Owen for him when he just came home from the hospital and then introduced him to American Football. This song has become my go-to when he's crying and needs soothed.
The way she sings “I just want you home” is...🥺

Feeling this on an emotional level. Working in the medical field for so long, knowing someone is going to die, or just knowing what is going to happen and knowing there's nothing you can do, or even people who just die arbitrarily without warning-you just accept it without much question. Sure, the relationships and friendships I build with my long-term and even short-term residents may be memorable, after a while, you just slowly start slipping into a rut of almost carelessness when it happens. It doesn't hurt as much as it used to. I have become uncomfortably numb.
Going into the medical field (for a position as a medical examiner), and I’m not looking forward to that aspect.
WINH4X the inportant lesson is to understand we're all connected
i'm crying
EMT here and same. Transporting someone to the nursing home or the ER or elsewhere that really has no good reason to be alive and suffering, with the only reason being that they don't have a DNR form. You know that someday soon, they're going to die, but right now they're alive. All they know is confusion and fear. It's so sad, and nursing homes are absolutely full of these people who just want death, but are being kept alive for Medicare money.
How many self-titled albums can one band release?
The one and only

@@trevorkeith3813 OOOO WEEEE OOOOO
All of them
not a huge paramore fan, but holy shit hayley killed it. perfect call/response and harmonies w/mike
I was the same until I heard her new solo stuff unreal
Riot is my guilty pleasure.
When she sings, "I just want you home." That line absolutely broke me.
while i never liked paramore or pop punk in general, i recognized they were a tight band but didnt listen to them as it wasn't my cup of tea. That being said, in the past couple years I have come to love Hayley Williams.
God the way she sings “I just want you home” at the end just tears me up 😭💔
hayley come back, we miss you
this is like emo for dads now in the best way possible
"Uncomfortably Numb" debuted at #13 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
New Alternative 40 Chart YESS! My boys killin it!
This is such a solid song. It's a feeling idk how to describe. Props to who ever mixed those drums. The mix on the song sounds amazing.
It's great poetry on top of music. It's like the instrumentalists were afraid to break the spell of the lyrics. It's so tasteful and subdued.
This new Canadian Softball Ft Lauren Babic track is sick
Fuck it British Soccer it's better
Damn this is a good track. I saw this band over twenty years ago in a church basement in Madison, WI and they've been etched in my mind ever since.
Man that's so cool! What age were you then? That must have been just before they released their first full-length album. Tell us more about it please.
Let me see... I was 20 years old. It was fall or early winter. Chances are I was very stoned. My new friend Allasandra knew I was a music dork and suggested we go. It may have been at the Pres House. I recall being impressed with the interplay between the guitars, the prog rock quality of the music, and that the vocals were WAY too quiet. Obviously I've never forgotten the band name or that experience. @@brendanfisher
I love this. I am always seeking music that will envelope me. This song is absolutely immersive. It's always exciting to hear Hayley featured on a track, she has such a beautiful voice.
This is absurdly good! Long time fan of American Football. So much I could say about how wonderful this is!
Here's my checklist:
- Immaculately clean instrumental tone (read: telecaster).
- swelling/crescendoed dynamics
- Arpeggio's
- Polyrythmn
- Male/Female vocal harmonies
- Highly polished structure
- Midwestern Emo sensibilities
- Math rock sensibilities
- Lyrics that are relatable for the audience (most of us grown-ass adults with families, still coping with the lingering emotional baggage that made Mike's songs solid gold to us).
- Horns. Thank God they kept this attribute record to record!
Of course, there is more to it. But those are some good reasons to keep this record in high rotation.
This is it...yes indeed.
Jon!
Fuck of
Chief said it
👍
YASSS
I like how a Filipino (me) from the other side of the ocean, have been binging midwest emo/math rock for a couple months now to the point that i could win a "guess the name of this midwest emo music" no sweat. Also P-Rod is on the video, my life is now complete.
Same here buddy, but there's one difference, i'm brazilian.
@@crossovo I guess music is music, it do really be universal.
That was honestly a beautiful song. I'm even more hyped for this new album
GarrettHasFace Yep. So was Silhouettes. 2/2 in my book so far. This record will be better than LP2 I’m sure.
My guy Blake from WORKAHOLICS.
YA GOTTA BE FRESSHHH!
Ughhh Hayleys voice gives me life
Is it just me or does it seem a bit deeper than usual?
@@thevanillaaa799 no it's just her lower register...if you listen to songs like Hate to see your heart break..26 and another song she's featured in rainbow connection she uses her lower register of choice more than her belting high notes lol
yelyaH smailliW same.
Ughhh Hayley's voice gives me cancer
@@second1814 explain
I'm new to AF but thanks to Hayley Williams I am now a fan. These lyrics strike my heart word for word. I've had a hard time expressing my emotions internally but this hits the nail on the head. Best song in a very long time for me. Thank you.

The collab I didn't know I needed, two of my all time favorite bands (American Football and Paramore) this is beautiful
she is not paramore
But there is no Paramore without Hayley
mozzarella cheese he’s right though. no paramore without hayls🤷♀️
mozzarella cheese thats what im saying, no paramore without hayley.
You misspelt awful as beautiful
Don’t quite understand the complaints about Hayley’s voice. It’s pretty raw, just a bit of reverb and all that. It’s used in a pretty secondary role too, my favorite use of her voice is often when it’s just harmonizing
Not for me. Her voice is far too good to use as a 'secondary role'. I would rather hear her voice full up front then to hear bits and pieces of it here and there. It's just disappointing for me and a little underwhelming. But thankfully there are hours worth of her already put out into the world. So even though this wasn't for me, I could always go back to the P albums
"Raw" hahahaha is that a joke?
@@DoniJames It's Not Her Song. She's Featured And Supporting. And It's A Soft Song? She's Singing How She's Supposed To Be On This Track? Honestly I'm Confused About At What You Expected?
@@RKO2D3STINY2 Honestly. I am too. Guess I'm just not satisfied. I'm greedy when it comes down to hearing her voice lol
@@DoniJames I Mean Paramore Is My Favorite Band And She's My Favorite Singer. But Its Just Unrealistic To Expect Paramore Level Content From A Feature LOL
I don't think I'll ever get tired of this song. I've listened to this practically every day since it was released.
The greatest thing about this song is the drums in my opinion they flow they punch and keep the beats going allowing the guitars to melon over the time and have the haunting vocals Flicker in and out so beautiful
nice username lol & comment 👍
chills when her voice clearly comes in at 1:26
This is such a touching song that it digs deeper with every listen. This might be American Footballs best song which really saying a lot. "I'll new friends in the ambulance" is the lyric thats gonna stay with people for a long long time.
2019 brings emo nation back
Emo never left, it was just momentarily overtaken by driveling little shits with bad haircuts. :)
well , rock in general is sort of coming back
korn, slipknot, arkells (well, in canada at least), blink 182, and more stuff
Shannon+Kyle Blink's new singles kinda suck, tbh…but yeah also Sleeping With Sirens (they came out with an actual post-hardcore single, can you believe it??), Crown the Empire, Of Mice & Men, Palaye Royale (getting heavier by the album), and I believe Pierce the Veil is coming back this year.
Shannon+Kyle Oh and you can't forget Sum 41!
@@FabulousKilljoy You mean Sunny Day Real Estate? :)
You know its gonna be a good FMV when Blake is in the opening scene just like when he sang Dark Horse :D
This song is so incredible. I listen to it pretty much every day and it never gets old. My other favorite song right now is "Summer Years" by Death Cab, which I highly recommend to anyone who loves this song.
Came here for Hayley...And stayed for her and American Football....Damn this song is amazing
My maths teacher liked it, American Football are officially Math Rock
.....
They already were way before you were even in that class.
I’d say more Emo, Midwest Emo type thing. I’d see math rock as a lot faster and more up tempo, like TTNG or Chon
@@84DGH057 Nobody cares.
Taylor Maddox sup with you dude?
2:56 the combined look of disappointment, love and worry gets me
Beautiful song, never gets old. The guitar parts blend so well over that addicting drum part, and the violins! It’s so good.
This is such a new world of music, but seeing hayley who i grew up with here is nuts
Some calls, you forget within an hour, some calls, you'll never forget. Sometimes I lay awake at night and wonder how my patients are doing. The child with a high fever that I broke, the car crash victim that I stabilized c-spine on and drove to the hospital, the newborn in an isolette that I transported with a flight team. I wonder how they are and how I affected their lives.
"I've tried but you've won. Comatose, like father like son
Hayley has literally collabed with so many different people and groups, that because no matter who you are you cant help but love paramore
hayley being featured on an american football song... wow. Probably a huge moment for her. Congrats girl! ✌😍
my gf found this song when looking for songs hayley williams is in and this is SO GOOD. already went and pre-ordered the splatter vinyl! you guys have a sound that I just love. keep it up!
God Haley is such an underrated singer she fits perfectly with American Football can’t wait for LP3!!
My heart wasn't ready for this. ❤❤❤
I love to hear Hayley singing.
A formative part of my high school and college days involved a Kinsella or two.
My niece loves Paramore. I'd knock it. We'd pick at each other's bands.
We both sent each other this album in the mail. Arrived at each place, same day.
The phone call afterwards was just two people laughing.
My brother (jokingly) says: "You see? That sad bastard music is genetic!".
AF was on his Spotify top list the next week. 😂
And my better half let my niece have her old Rainer Maria shirt.
Polyvinyl is for the family.
And THIS is how I discover the enchanting voice of Hayley Williams!!!!!
Hayley is a angel
I honestly haven’t been able to stop listening. This song is unbelievable.
pls come to zimbabwe
I feel you mate 🤞🏽
zimbabwe lul
sorry but they'll be dehydrated when they get there

Hayley Williams ♥️
This song makes me feel some type of way that i can't explain. All I can say is wow. Fantastic record.
i love hayley so much. her voice is amazing.
to the guy i just met on omeagle who recommended this to me.... thanks dude. This is dope
this song is soo good it's almost unfair to all other songs
The acoustics in this song omllll🤩🤩🥵😍😍😍😍
I love how this is so chill and deep at the same time, it makes me melancholic
I can call American Football's LP3 a hymnal of contemporary urban decadence of the spirit.
In "Uncomfortably Numb" and throughout the album in general the lyrical hero achieves a kind of enlightened desperation in which he finds joy in decadence of the spirit, proclaiming gentle defeatism against love and romantic observations and social routine whatsoever. To experience the decadence of the spirit is literally - to give in.
I think the main feature of this album is that it remains astutely life-affirming while being profoundly defeatist in its mood and themes. It is the trademark feature of American Football, found and imprinted most expressively in this album.
"Every Wave to Ever Rise" for example is an expression of self-giving love and devotion. The narrator discards himself and takes retreat in his beloved one with imposing, effortless, lazy sureness.
I think it's useless or rather impossible to write about the smoothness of this album's flow. And I don't know what is even possible to write about and after the lines like:
"Selfishness is inherited / Like skinny lips and tattoes",
"I'm sorry for aging / Growing more and more disinterested in celebrity and politic / Unapologetically / Sorry for everything",
"How will you exist (How will I exist) /
Without consequence / I'll let you know",
"Only you / No me",
"Forgiveness is a mystery" and
"I cried for you / For me / For strangers / I cried in every room / When will it end, relentless adolescence".
I love this write up
Give me like 3 months to write my next album then imma need you to plz review it with such epic poetic nature
I freaking love hearing Hayleys voice on new tracks. It's like hearing an angel sing to me ❤
Their voices go perfectly together, this is heavenly 🥰
This is amazing...Why have I not heard this band before, and how does Hayley's voice sound so beautiful and mellow here? 😍
Not really a mainstream band. But if you do like them check out one of there first main hits "never meant". And the singer also has a good band called owen.
I've been waiting for this so long. Is always a beautiful feeling to hear something new from Hayley. Thanks.
* From American Football. This is *their* song, not hers nor Paramore's.
Hayley's singing anyways, so is a song from her too. Or isn't her voice? Duh
@@EdwardRiot It's her voice, but not her band nor her song.
So it's not thanks to her, it's thanks to the band that she's even featured in the song.
Obviously it's thanks to her, she has to accept being on this song. Ugh, is so simple to understand.
@@EdwardRiot Are you being serious?
She is the guest, she accepted to sing, but the song is not hers. She is singing in the song thanks to the band who called her up to begin with. Why do you act as if the song exists thanks to her? Jesus, the band is responsible for the song and for the fact that Hayley Williams is in it.
It's not hard to understand.
That moment when you realize they’re album is coming out March 22nd, and you feel a bit hurt inside.
This is amazing though, I love it. Great job as always.
came for hayley stayed for the great song. def checking out the rest of the bands stuff.
This is soooooo UNDERATED
One of those songs that feel like both heartbreak and falling in love
Coincidentally this song is meant for my struggles and overcoming them for 2019, thank you much, Merry Christmas American Football
being a dad at 19 now who didnt have a good relationship with my dad or a good childhood this is my anthem lol
If this is music, I’m the same. It’s mine and ours, at night, it’s a bit of respite
I’m in LOVE with this song, it feels so good to listen to this walking down the street!
just done this morning on my commute to work!
American Football is the reason soccer can’t go mainstream; it’s just too good. Too good.
This is the type of song you wanna listen while having a road trip! So relaxing....
Why nobody talks about PROD AND the dude from workaholics in the open scene????? Cmon!!! Best crossover ever with skate and good televition.
americ anfootball, hayley williams and atiba working on the same project. this is beautiful thank you
I love this hauntingly beautiful song, it never gets old . But all my favorite songs are slow and sad
Como q eu não conhecia essa música ainda? Um clássico desse, com a participação da Hayley é pra aplaudir 1000 vezes
I have been waiting for this for so long and wow I cried, I'm so glad it finally happened.
Hayley ❤
I love that Blake Anderson is in the start of the video
