For anyone wondering what the title means."This song is about lead singer Jesse Lacey's fear that he will one day burn out or fall from grace.Diego Maradona is an Argentine soccer player who led his country to the World Cup in 1986, faltered due to drug use. Elvis Presley had a brilliant singing career before drugs and health problems took their toll. Both men had spectacular talents but lost it all. "
I always thought there was another underlying story of a guy who preys on drunk and vulnerable women at bars too? nonetheless, a story of falling from grace
I love Jesse Lacey. He is amazing. This song is so good. Vinnie wrote this song, and i love it. I just want to wrap my arms around Jesse in this video! great angle. love the vid.
one of their best songs... deja entendu was the shit back in the days and is still my second all time favorite album...(behind the devil and god of course, haha)
Jesse said in an interview that the title of the song comes from a dream he had where he had this fight with Maradona and Elvis, two legends who kind of made huge messes of themselves in the latter part of their lives.
Deja is my personal favorite. I really enjoy the Devil and God, and Your Favorite Weapon has a couple good ones...Soco Amaretto Lime is my favorite off that album.
that's why most musicians stop making music after a while or at least putting it out there. their "fans" are so entranced in what they used to be, now who they are.
mannn try and go to a brand new show and not sing, i went to the one at san jose last friday... omg. everyone was getting into and singing... it was amazinnnnnnnnnng
@ChocolatePoop1301 I can see that you posted this comment almost a year ago, but I really hope that you have gotten their other albums. "The Devil and God..." and "Daisy" are both masterpieces, and might even be better than "Deja."
@calmncollected10 hey i have listened to Brand New since deja came out, so i guess you would call me an "original fan"... but i dont think i could ever pick a favorite Brand New record. weapon, deja, devil and god, the fight off your demons demos, daisy... they are all amazing. they are all highly unique collections of art that i love to much to judge which one is best.
yeah... someone earlier said something about jesse's lyrics but they are vinnies.. even though jesse is a god at writing haha. but i thought vin deserved his credit. he writes alot of the darker songs on deja entendu like the quiet things and sic transit gloria, and others:)
@symbiot90 Look on Ultimate Guitar. There's a guitar pro tab that's near perfect. If you don't have GP, get TuxGuitar- it's a freeware program, virus-free, that can open GP files. That's how I learned this one.
Ha I think this song is about frustration with the whole stupid way we conduct relationships, and jesse is saying how its all just a bit pointless going out, getting drunk and pulling some random.
you know it is possible that he's not singing about himself! i personally think the metaphorical meaning is the most realistic but if its the litteral meaning then it could just be a story!
I figured this song out on my own, and looking at what Jesse plays in this video, I'm pretty sure it's spot-on. Tell me if you want me to type up some tabs for you.
i can definitely see how you can interpret the song as fear of burining out, but its not the most obvious to me, and some of the lyrics don't make too much song if you use that interpretation. the comparison to elvis and maradona seems to be more about their lifestyle than the decline in their careers. its not just about taking advantage of drunk girls either though. for one thing, i never put emphasis on her being drunk. it sounds to me much more like she just wants to sleep with a rockstar.
i try :) and ocelot600 and always6or7, though i agree with both of you that some of these interpretations are pretty ridiculous, it's still pointless and a bit rude to call people potentially hurtful names. we're all people here behind our usernames. no need to try to bring anyone else down.
its not about raping a girl he uses a drunk girl as a metaphor... the song is about jesse's fear of burning out one day or not being as big as he once was... think about the title... i mean come on people your listening to brand new here you got to be more open minded
JK880715 you're close, but wrong. it's about the banning of international trade :( the drunk girl is china and the guy taking "her" out is america. everything else is a metaphor for eating even when you're full, because you're at your favorite restaurant and you hate left-overs. nobody understands jesse's words like i do :(
You guys are looking to deep into his meaning of the song, plus it's HIS meaning, you're supposed to interpret the song anywhichway you want to, there's no wrong way.
1. i was kidding 2. JK880715, you're thinking of "good to know that if i ever need attention all i have to do is die." if i were you, i'd be really embarrassed!!!
Props to the ladies in the audience for hitting those harmony notes!
This is the only CD I have of them, but it's easily the best CD I've ever listened to. Most underrated band of all time in my book.
The album was epic back in the day. Their first album was great but standard pop-punk/ hardcore of the time. Their second album was so much more.
This performance is fucking flawless. I would give a lot to see Brand New in concert!

Zepps Dead well, fuck.
Same reaction here, self-fulfilling prophecy.

This song has always been unclear to me but I always imagined it was about two people hooking up without any feelings towards ecahother.
For sure written about him in some sort of sense. Dude def knew he had issues... just didn't know when or if they would come out...
My favourite song by them, what beautiful words. He's a genius.
I love Jesse Lacey. He is amazing. This song is so good. Vinnie wrote this song, and i love it. I just want to wrap my arms around Jesse in this video! great angle. love the vid.
Can't believe this video is 10 years old. It makes me feel kinda old/sad :/
ursopostmodern :/
18 years
@@CharliesMaidenCovers oof...
I want to learn this song soo bad but the stretch from the 5th fret to the 9th holy shit
did you learn it yet?
@@mclovin3258 No
Where do you stretch from 5 to 9 ?
one of their best songs... deja entendu was the shit back in the days and is still my second all time favorite album...(behind the devil and god of course, haha)
this is the best song ever
Jesse said in an interview that the title of the song comes from a dream he had where he had this fight with Maradona and Elvis, two legends who kind of made huge messes of themselves in the latter part of their lives.
what an epic voice
great footage!! I personally applaud you.
Deja is my personal favorite. I really enjoy the Devil and God, and Your Favorite Weapon has a couple good ones...Soco Amaretto Lime is my favorite off that album.
this song is amazing. they are amazinggg. i want to die listening to them.
Are you still alive?

I was there!
so good.
That's the best book in the world. =]]

I agree with everything you said. however, I think Daisy is now their best album to date

@aburnxingexample14 I wouldn't say daisy "sucked". It certainly was a departure from previous work, but I still have a great appreciation for it.
Please get back together :(
yeah...
someone earlier said something about jesse's lyrics but they are vinnies..
even though jesse is a god at writing haha.
but i thought vin deserved his credit.
he writes alot of the darker songs on deja entendu like the quiet things and sic transit gloria, and others:)
Amazing band, amazing song. I gonna drink to this song tomorrow.
Check out the music video for JESUS in Detroit.
if you look on the deja entendu
it tells who wrote it, i think jesse and vinnie wrote this together.
Jesse wrote I think 5 or 6 songs on deja entendu
@dvt1393 Thx, I'll put them on my list!
no nononono vin and jesse wrote the guitar for this song. jesse wrote all the lyrics on deja entendu its in the book. vin did write handcuffs tho

best.
And his other band mates! :P
you know it is possible that he's not singing about himself! i personally think the metaphorical meaning is the most realistic but if its the litteral meaning then it could just be a story!
I agree lol. but his new music is cool as well but.. Yep
@dvt1393 Thx!
I figured this song out on my own, and looking at what Jesse plays in this video, I'm pretty sure it's spot-on. Tell me if you want me to type up some tabs for you.
can you plz
firts of all why this song has the name of a great soccer player why can you tell meee?¿
thanks
@aburnxingexample14 nah, Daisy is their most mature record and also their best.
Amazing lyrics, the way he puts it together, idk there's something about his diction
It's that awesome double meaning with the word Lie
deja entendu is definitely the best record

lmao KDO's comment made me piss myself
FUCK! IM TRYING TO LEARN THIS SONG AND THERE ISN'T ANYTHING FUCKING DECNET TO GO OFF OF
Well, now this video is too old for Mr. Lacey.
its not about raping a girl he uses a drunk girl as a metaphor... the song is about jesse's fear of burning out one day or not being as big as he once was... think about the title... i mean come on people your listening to brand new here you got to be more open minded
@guntforsure its maradonna DERRRRR
bob saget lol
feel like what?
JK880715 you're close, but wrong.
it's about the banning of international trade :(
the drunk girl is china
and the guy taking "her" out is america.
everything else is a metaphor for eating even when you're full, because you're at your favorite restaurant and you hate left-overs.
nobody understands jesse's words like i do :(
@calmncollected10 he did top deja, with the devil and god are raging inside me
You guys are looking to deep into his meaning of the song, plus it's HIS meaning, you're supposed to interpret the song anywhichway you want to, there's no wrong way.
why? there is hardly and bass in this song at all. its all on guitar dropped d half step down.
the ladies just sound ok in unison but if you are near them you'd want to put an ice-pick in your ear, off=key as fuck Im sure
@symbiot90 too bad your 12 and have to use caps in every single comment.
1. i was kidding
2. JK880715, you're thinking of "good to know that if i ever need attention all i have to do is die." if i were you, i'd be really embarrassed!!!
I really prefer the literal meaning of the song, it's sad. Maybe it's just cause I'm friends with too many gals that like the booze :P
this song is about a 13 year old girl
etg592 wow you were right!
etg592 15 but still
Not far off
well this song is ruined now
Welp… this didn’t age well at all

fuck you are hilarious!
