The simplicity and difficulty of genius is to tell the the truth in one sentence. This song does this multiple times, sang from friends who have obviously bonded through touring, written by a pure of heart song writer finding her way. Inspirational, inspiring and true. Long live against me, long Laura, long live the truth and friendship.
Man! is there anything better than listening to Laura singing with an acoustic guitar? your voice goes right into my bones and hearth and makes my whole body shake, and I wanted to hear your voice till the end of times! it never gets old :)
First time I heard this song I was high out of my mind but still managed to hear those obnoxious beautiful vocals clearly, I felt this was the story of my life. I love Against Me
This guy is ridiculously talented. When you can perform a song without all the studio/digital enhancements that most "musicians" use today, and convey the music so powerfully...just great original, actual real talent. This song rocks.
I love how he puts in everything he has to make sure its performed really well. He doesnt resort to being lazy or soft just because of its acoustic nature. Great performance of a great song.
This guy can sing. So often punk rock band singers are pretty lackluster, musically, and hide behind the fact that "it's punk, it's not supposed to sound perfect".
okay wow...im amazed by this song like no lie...the music, singing, the meaning of the song...its powerfull. one of the few songs that sends chills down my spine, great performance.
This song it rocks and the duds are doing a fantastic job. Makes alot of sense to me and i like it alot thatw hy i burned the song. Great post whoever posed this from the green room. Dino mite man!! Have a beer on me man.
I don't really care if they sold out or not... but the line "No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to be a junkie" is one of the sickest lines in recent memory
Ah, must be a great concert then. :) I've seen Dropkick Murphys a few times now, and their shows always rock. I would love to see Against Me as well. :)
wow Tom sang this amazingly! i think this is probably the hardest song for him to do. i love these guys and i want to see them again so bad. i got a New Wave pick from James :)
If you like this then you will love the Maine!! The Maine is coming out with their new CD on the 13th!! You can get there CD opening day at Target for only 7.99!! It’s only going runfor 7.99 for the first week ONLY at Target so be sure to go out and get your copy!! You can also view there keep sake book at... we are the Maine dot com ! The book has drawings, lyrics, and the bands personal journal entries! Cute guys that can tear up the music scene, how can you say NO! Check it out!
+dad punk Never rude to state a preference. Especially musical preferences. The bandwagoners can jump to Laura's defense, I've been there for years. But hey, good job making the guy feel like a prick for stating a simple preference.
okay I'm completely new to this band. the only song I had heard before the new album came out was Don't Lose Touch... is it widely believed that they sold out?
I agree whit your opinion regarding their acoustic guitar and singing skills. But i still think they make this song great even if they might not be the two best guitarr players that ever lived. I still think they make this song unique and interesting. Good work!
These guys just plain kick fucking ass. Not even my kind of music but my little brother turned me on to them years ago. Sick, sick band that writes great lyrics... something that is a dying art it seems these days. Mad props.
@superdog1321 Although I do agree with you about the abuse of auto tune, not calling the majority of them professional musicians is ludicrous. They are famous for a reason and it is because they have talent.
Every single one of their songs sound twice as amazing when played on the acoustic

It's so strange to see her before she transitioned since I became a fan when she had already been going by Laura for a while.
It's good you came across this recording, this is a great one.

Lyrically and musically brilliant. Against Me! is arguably the most underrated band on the scene right now.
This guy is ridiculously talented. When you can perform a song without all the studio/digital enhancements that most "musicians" use today, and convey the music so powerfully...just great original, actual real talent. This song rocks.
Beautuful unplugged performance!
Love it
Against Me is one of the best bands on earth; hands down
I love how he puts in everything he has to make sure its performed really well. He doesnt resort to being lazy or soft just because of its acoustic nature. Great performance of a great song.

She has a fantastic voice.
His voice is so strong, i like him better live than recorded. I seen them open for Blink, and they were great!
im blown away. right now. my probably all time favorite song and band.
best voice ever! so much power and emotion! unbelieveble! I really wish i could sing like Tom...
he does have a good voice. i didnt know what to expect for a live performance. it actually sounds better than i thought. im in love with this song.
This is amazing, I love the original and this acoustic guitar version is SO GOOD.
okay wow...im amazed by this song like no lie...the music, singing, the meaning of the song...its powerfull. one of the few songs that sends chills down my spine, great performance.

Wow can't look away i sing along intensely i won't hear you or see you until there music stops.

dude that was seriously live unedited??!!!??
yeah man it is
must say I prefer the voice of angry confused Tom to Laura
his singing style has thus changing his voice. he can still sing old songs...
+dad punk Never rude to state a preference. Especially musical preferences. The bandwagoners can jump to Laura's defense, I've been there for years. But hey, good job making the guy feel like a prick for stating a simple preference.
+Karo Staro Couldn't agree more😕😥
okay I'm completely new to this band. the only song I had heard before the new album came out was Don't Lose Touch... is it widely believed that they sold out?
damn he's actually good
not one of those only good in a studio singers
gotta respect that
wow his voice is fuckign amazing i would kill to be able to sing like him
every song they have goes well acoustically... the acoustic EP is their best
yes it is
I agree whit your opinion regarding their acoustic guitar and singing skills.
But i still think they make this song great even if they might not be the two best guitarr players that ever lived.
I still think they make this song unique and interesting. Good work!
what a great fuckin song. great job.

Awesome voice and cool tattos n__n 5/5

❤
God I wish I could sing like him
His voice is fuckin' amazing...so powerful!!! I think I'm in Love...haha!!
Amazing. Love. Great. Better than the official video. Fuck. This SHOULD be the official video.
I don't know why but Tom's Lyrics sound a lot more direct in this version than the album or any other live take of this in this one.
I want the fat guys job who sits and says bop bop bop- I would crush it!
coastalorphan ha!
Like peter does in the family guy :D
I think his voice is great.
@capitaopoker Keep on partying my brother. Rock on.
These guys just plain kick fucking ass. Not even my kind of music but my little brother turned me on to them years ago. Sick, sick band that writes great lyrics... something that is a dying art it seems these days. Mad props.
So true. There are so many bands out there that can sound okay with studio editing, but suck when you see them up on the stage. :)
I like when james sings
Gooooodstuff.
@superdog1321 Although I do agree with you about the abuse of auto tune, not calling the majority of them professional musicians is ludicrous. They are famous for a reason and it is because they have talent.
just as good as the recorded version if not better!
@dirtytoenail45 I wish I knew what you meant...
Gareth Bale?
+theSUPERmere hahahahaha
@hellounicorns the lead guitarist of his band?
So awesome that acoustic didn't make it gentle and soft! damn they rock
baha,
of course we lurk it
Where they started
@Otherien, F, A# of Bb whichever you call it, Dm, A#, right before chorus they hit a C and A#, the chorus is just F and A# i believe
that reference to hanson was god-like.
Shhhhhhh, just enjoy people! Peace! x
good shout lmfao
God Laura is so pretty!
i like his voice actually
so powerful the part where they say dont know nothing about redemption
