This is a beautiful depiction and discription of what happens when you're only going through the motions, when the things that should matter don't, and what causes those little reckless desires we all have at some point just for an interruption of the monotonous experience.
this song is just massive, with the energy it puts out there, the desperation of the lyrics and the duel of the guitars; it's just incredible, and i can do nothing but bask in its glory and cower before it.
This started off as a reply but I’m posting as a comment. The problem with these labels society dishes out are that you dare not deviate from what others perceive you to be, lest you be criticized and condemned. Fuck that. To me, punk isn’t a look. It’s a feeling. It’s not a physical style as much as it is an internal state of being. Punk is: this is me. Take it or leave it. Sell outs are the ones that are fixated on image. They care more about what people see as opposed to what they put out. Punk is ever evolving and rarely what anyone in the public eye believes it to be. Anyone can dress the part, but it takes a certain type of person to truly be a punk. I mean really, what the fuck would punk be if it stayed the same as it did in its early days? Punk changes as society and the world we live in changes. Thank you Laura Jane Grace for being you. Thank you for being yourself and for opening yourself up in an attempt to connect with those that see and feel your value. I doubt you will ever see this, but your eyes can see what so many others try to ignore and even hide. You are a beautiful woman and an intelligent soul with so much insight and wisdom to put out into the world around you. Keep kicking ass, rocking out, and being who you are because we need people just like you in this life. Too many people are fakes.
Sleep on pillows made in Singapore Wrapped in comforters Sweating through sheets Drinking coffee in the morning Floating on Airplanes across the vast seas And your house is made of wood Central air, central heat You got your furniture of particle board Your doors are locked for, for safety And you walk in leather shoes Pants of denim, a black cotton sweatshirt And you do what you do because doing can start to form a habit And you drink all night long And you sleep through the morning And if something doesn't break I'm just gonna go, go fucking insane And you sweep up the floor when it's dirty You do the dishes, when the sink's full And when the refrigerator's empty well it's time, it's time, it's time, it's time to go the store You put your books on a shelf Clothes arranged in the closet You hang the things on the wall that you don't wanna be so easily forgotten I hate these songs I hate the words That the singer is singing to me I hate this melody I hate this stupid fucking drum beat But I'm not gonna tell anyone What I'm really thinking about Keep them conversations on the surface Just keep on smiling Just keep on saying Everything's gonna be alright It's gonna be alright [x2] Alright [x11]
One of my favorite songs ever in life. As a musician and a fan. Because these lyrics are facts of life. And I feel it now more than ever and I been a fan for over 17 years.
This music is so beautiful, I feel a connection to every song by them. It's just like how I feel about everything.. Against Me! has really helped a lot with my feelings about life and the world. Thank you Laura, for making such wonderful music, and may you continue :)
this against me! song reminds me of my house...you sweep and mop the floors when it's dirty, you do the dishes, when the sink's full...and when the refridgerators empty well it's time, it's time it's time, it's time to go to the store...totally my house.
I like music. I like Against Me! I shouldn't have to justify why or have to defend them. They rock and put on a great live show. I saw them with the Foo in the Peg and walked away more excited about them then the main act.
So I just saw these guys perform at my college, and at the part where he says, "I hate this stupid fucking drum beat," the drummer flipped him off. I lol'd. These guys were pretty awesome live, and I only know a few of their songs! I think they have a new fan =)
As far as the selling out goes...I would never have heard of Against Me! or Tom Gabel in Pittsburgh, PA had they not done something "wrong." I'll take what I can get. If you prefer the folk rock, listen to that, if you prefer the old stuff, listen to that. I like it all, I will continue to listen to what sounds sweet to me.
Why would anyone call AM! sellouts? This is what happens to good bands, they start to make money. They start to polish and hone their sound. The more people that listen to this the better. Then maybe we'd not have so much Justin Beiber and that kinda B-S.
Right on man, and apparently they've been playing loads of old songs at their shows since the new album, so they haven't completely conformed to the mainstream, phew.
@RobRedbeard23 Is Fight Club the only movie you've ever seen that portrays an internal struggle? I can think of better and closer examples of inner turmoil in book ans film.....
This video is from Transition Video Magazine Issue 1. It has tons of stuff on it, done by the doods that made the "We're Never Going Home." DVD. Go to w w w dot transitionvm dot com.
I call this "sentence song" to my fianceé cause he introduced it to me & i can never remember the name. but the song that's made out sentences you could just use in every life
This statement is valid to a point. It's one thing to make and roll dough with your hands, it's different when you just use a machine. I love the band but they definitely used a cookie cutter or two. I still love the first two albums for the rest of my life.
Fight Club the song...Right on. I love the depth of this song, its how life is. Everyday. Whether he is talking about his, or ours, its life. Wishing for a breaking point. BRING ON THE ZOMBIE APOCOLYPSE!
Indeed, this is the area where I think the European countries have right. Unlike in the Americas, the Europeans stand up for what they believe and the government is afraid of their people. While in America, it's the people being in fear of the government. It should be the opposite, we're living in our respective countries and we, the people, should be governing what goes on politically.
Well the butthole surfers we’re pretty great at doing so...and many, many other’s...in my opinion... yo b if you guy’s dig against me then totally check out “ the riverboat gambler’s “ from Denton, and the skatenig’s, stupid people shouldn’t breed” album,,,the big boy’s from Austin as well, they still rule in my opinion....
i agree. my opinion of selling out is a situation like this: you listen to a CD and it's NOTHING like their old stuff. the music and lryics suck now, like it took them 2 minutes to write the song. if the effort is still put into the music, they haven't sold out. so i don't think green day has sold out either, because the american idiot album amazing. it took them years to put that together. they're still loyal to their fans.
look, I have been in the business for quite some time, these days, saying the band is a sell out is just another trend, you can fight and argue all you want, but face it, its no different than a fashion trend, maybe they did sign a record label, you would too if someone flashed a couple hundred grand in your face.. anyone would, don't even try to disagree, all these kids are posers that follow what others say, as if they need to fit in, against me is unique, and you cannot argue with that.
@discountlaundry I agree with you totally! against me are so, what's the word...dynamic? That's exactly what good musicians, nay, good artists, should be!
this is probably dead geeky of me, but i did this in music tech last year and its cuz vinyl has frequencies on it that cds at the moment can't handle!there are frequencies that we can't hear but our brain can interpret!science lesson over!!
Oh, wow, thanks. To be brutally honest it isn't too hard to do. And Kaybeecee, I don't know what you're smoking, but countries in Europe, especially France and that nearby area, protest a lot of stuff they don't like. They aren't sheep if they stand up for what they think is right and they are definitely not sheep of the govenment if they government is scared of the population. They are democratic, a lot more democratic than most countries.
I work with a bunch of teenagers and I put this on and they all left the room. It worked like a charm.
Same thing happened when I put these songs on around my fellow teens back in the day.
Reasons they make me wear ear buds at work.
@@matthewamuso you and I both.
Same. I always throw on good music when I want “silence”. 😂
Probably has nothing to do with them being teens
Saw them in Winnipeg. Greatest show, greatest place I've been, greatest time I've ever had, in my whole life.

Boy oh boy, this is such an awesome tune. Happy winter solstice for tomorrow all.
This is such a great song. It's so simple and straightforward.
Im not going to tell anyone what I'm really thinking about. keep it all on the surface and just keep on smiling.
I can't believe that I've never seen this music video before.
I think everyone that watches this felt that the first time. It came out of nowhere.
Sleep on pillows made in Singapore
Wrapped in comforters
Sweating through sheets
Drinking coffee in the morning
Floating on Airplanes across the vast seas
And your house is made of wood
Central air, central heat
You got your furniture of particle board
Your doors are locked for, for safety
And you walk in leather shoes
Pants of denim, a black cotton sweatshirt
And you do what you do
because doing can start to form a habit
And you drink all night long
And you sleep through the morning
And if something doesn't break
I'm just gonna go, go fucking insane
And you sweep up the floor when it's dirty
You do the dishes, when the sink's full
And when the refrigerator's empty
well it's time, it's time, it's time, it's time to go the store
You put your books on a shelf
Clothes arranged in the closet
You hang the things on the wall that you don't wanna be so easily forgotten
I hate these songs
I hate the words
That the singer is singing to me
I hate this melody
I hate this stupid fucking drum beat
But I'm not gonna tell anyone
What I'm really thinking about
Keep them conversations on the surface
Just keep on smiling
Just keep on saying
Everything's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright [x2]
Alright [x11]

Ah the insane nostalgia is so powerful
the greatest band, the greatest song. i love it.
Saw them last night the the Foo Fighters, both bands were awesome.
this against me! song reminds me of my house...you sweep and mop the floors when it's dirty, you do the dishes, when the sink's full...and when the refridgerators empty well it's time, it's time it's time, it's time to go to the store...totally my house.
I really appreciate the drumming of Warren Oakes here. It was just so awesome to build tension
i have only one word for against me... wonderful music! :D
thats definitely two words :/
this is by far my favorite video they have made so far
I like music. I like Against Me! I shouldn't have to justify why or have to defend them. They rock and put on a great live show. I saw them with the Foo in the Peg and walked away more excited about them then the main act.
So I just saw these guys perform at my college, and at the part where he says, "I hate this stupid fucking drum beat," the drummer flipped him off. I lol'd.
These guys were pretty awesome live, and I only know a few of their songs! I think they have a new fan =)
love this dude hes awsome his concerts are badass too..... way to go guys!
The best song I've heard in awhile. I love against me! enuff said
I’m a new(ish) fan and I was really confused as to who that was in the video at first
Lmao, she looks so much prettier now
As far as the selling out goes...I would never have heard of Against Me! or Tom Gabel in Pittsburgh, PA had they not done something "wrong." I'll take what I can get. If you prefer the folk rock, listen to that, if you prefer the old stuff, listen to that. I like it all, I will continue to listen to what sounds sweet to me.
the best band of our time for sure
this is song is one of the best ever!
I'm singing/screaming/crying and my boyfriend comes back and says "I left you for a second"... I just love this song
Why would anyone call AM! sellouts? This is what happens to good bands, they start to make money. They start to polish and hone their sound. The more people that listen to this the better. Then maybe we'd not have so much Justin Beiber and that kinda B-S.
Chill song, helps me relax in the field.
they put on a fucking AMAZING show! i love these guys live
I just discovered the band.What a punk feeling they have !!! so cool...
My band Afraid of Dave is opening for the Against Me! show at The Rave in Milwaukee! A dream come true!
its from the album "As the Eternal Cowboy"
Right on man, and apparently they've been playing loads of old songs at their shows since the new album, so they haven't completely conformed to the mainstream, phew.
this is the best music video ever made.
Love this song
such an awsome song and i love the vid........
Theyve been one of the best bands out there since 01. All the haters need to get a life.
"ClicheGuervara" : damn right, amen to that...
i love this band.
the thing about new wave is that its no "disco before the breakdown" but it somehow grows on you
Very good song! thumbs up
@RobRedbeard23 Is Fight Club the only movie you've ever seen that portrays an internal struggle? I can think of better and closer examples of inner turmoil in book ans film.....
look for Against Me! - Acoustic at Wayward pt2
This video makes me restless.
This video is from Transition Video Magazine Issue 1. It has tons of stuff on it, done by the doods that made the "We're Never Going Home." DVD.
Go to w w w dot transitionvm dot com.
awesome song/awesome video
pure genius.
I call this "sentence song" to my fianceé cause he introduced it to me & i can never remember the name. but the song that's made out sentences you could just use in every life
I completely agree with you, top commenter, it's that way no matter what
This song makes me want to break everything.
Attempted this song a couple days ago on my drums, ended up with a hurting arm :P
sublime!!!!!!!!!
This statement is valid to a point. It's one thing to make and roll dough with your hands, it's different when you just use a machine. I love the band but they definitely used a cookie cutter or two. I still love the first two albums for the rest of my life.
i used to go to the farmhouse, i guess it was near the end of it. 02, 03? i wonder if we ever met.
awesome.
the ending is so badass
So much anger over a kick-ass music video.
great band!
Now that's a holy-shit-drummer!
me too first time i heard them was saturday
The beginning of this song reminds me of American Psycho lol the way he lists things n ppl n reality as commidities in lil compartments.
This band rocks my socks! Wish Tom rocked more than just my socks, if ya feel what I'm tryin to say here.... :)
Having a desk job. Set to music.
i love against me sound and i want their new album
Fight Club the song...Right on. I love the depth of this song, its how life is. Everyday. Whether he is talking about his, or ours, its life. Wishing for a breaking point. BRING ON THE ZOMBIE APOCOLYPSE!

Propaghandi

Well the butthole surfers we’re pretty great at doing so...and many, many other’s...in my opinion... yo b if you guy’s dig against me then totally check out “ the riverboat gambler’s “ from Denton, and the skatenig’s, stupid people shouldn’t breed” album,,,the big boy’s from Austin as well, they still rule in my opinion....
i agree. my opinion of selling out is a situation like this: you listen to a CD and it's NOTHING like their old stuff. the music and lryics suck now, like it took them 2 minutes to write the song. if the effort is still put into the music, they haven't sold out. so i don't think green day has sold out either, because the american idiot album amazing. it took them years to put that together. they're still loyal to their fans.

ROCK!
Fucking amazing song and video.
@AnthonyOmPLHDreads dude life. wat people do wats the basic steps of life. its meant to be shallow on the surface but this song has meaning.
I agree in theory, but you have to understand that MANY bands DO sell out. There's no denying this. It happens... a LOT!
DrunkenLeprechaunPro Like Blink. Everything after Dude Ranch sucked...
The people on the PIX board had a hissy fit.
these guys are so fuckin awesome!
look, I have been in the business for quite some time, these days, saying the band is a sell out is just another trend, you can fight and argue all you want, but face it, its no different than a fashion trend, maybe they did sign a record label, you would too if someone flashed a couple hundred grand in your face.. anyone would, don't even try to disagree, all these kids are posers that follow what others say, as if they need to fit in, against me is unique, and you cannot argue with that.
@discountlaundry I agree with you totally! against me are so, what's the word...dynamic? That's exactly what good musicians, nay, good artists, should be!
fucking love this band
sleep on pillows made in singapore? what's that s'posed to mean?
@splap he is talking about us all conforming to social norms and not challenging them.
this is probably dead geeky of me, but i did this in music tech last year and its cuz vinyl has frequencies on it that cds at the moment can't handle!there are frequencies that we can't hear but our brain can interpret!science lesson over!!
