Listened to this song laying in bed the night before the first day of my sophomore year... The last day of summer. Shed a 15 year old emo kid tear. Beautiful song.
take in every moment of high school you can... I remember the first time I listened to American Football, it was during the last few months of my senior year. I was just driving home and listening to them just broke me down, especially this song. I thought back to the late nights with my closest friends, the football games, being in the band, and all my cross country meets. Im in my first year of college and all my friends have gone off to bigger universities. Sure we will see each other but not on a daily basis, won't be the same as high school, but nothing ever is. This album is the closest i will get to reliving my high school memories and how grateful i am to have had some cherish-able moments i will never forget, thank you American Football!
When you're there in that moment you're not just ganna have that thought of "Oh this is the best time of my life, I better enjoy it..." When i was there just like everyone else I wanted to be anywhere else but there. That is the beauty of this music, nostalgia is a painfully beautiful thing that everyone must deal with at some point making the songs that much more poignant...duh...
I listened to this album around the time I graduated college. Same feels. The band recorded this album because they were all about to graduate from UIUC and this was their last chance to record together. It really comes through in the music. Only Never Meant was finished before they started recording. Kinsella just wrote the rest of the lyrics over some instrumentals they had played before.
+Maddy Martinez made me cry pretty hard once, but I was drunk too. Just reminded me of good times, warm summer nights, and friends that are all gone now
Here after Lamos’ departure announcement. Hearing his trumpet made me more sad 😭 If American Football continues on, it won’t be the same without him. He’s irreplaceable, none of the members are really. Hoping Lamos the best!
8 years ago when they posted this video I was absolutely blasted on my buddies couch while watching this with my all of friends at that time. I haven’t seen them in a while and we don’t really talk much but every time I watch this, I’m still on the couch hanging out with them and for that alone I will always hold this song, particularly this version dear to my heart.
That slight smile Nate does when he's enjoying playing always makes me smile too. He does it on the Tiny Desk video as well, when the kids are singing. We could all learn to enjoy the moment like he seems to.
this song always reminds me of all the memories I could’ve made in senior year if it wasn’t all spent looking at a computer screen, right before COVID, I just began opening up to people, making friends, and being legitimately happy after a long time, then the pandemic struck and washed that all away, I always wonder why it came to this...
Try to remember that feeling when this is all over. Get out there and open up and make friends! All we can do is do our best with the time that is given us, my friend
I remember reading this comment in the worst era of my life, and it totally broke me. I was going through the same things, the same thing, and this music was the only drug that numbed me. I am doing a lot better these days, and I hope you are too friend.
I think about this too. And can't help but feel grateful for the way the things happened. Sure it was horrible at first. But you'll realize something. And when you do. You're going to feel grateful for everything that has happened
American Football, Owen, LIES. The tunes transport me to an indescribable place in my mind, where I’m at peace with what is and isn’t, while scratching that itch for inspiration to continue on with dreams, hopes, and living for the now, Thanks Mike and the rest of the guys! ✨
Yeah the trumpet is cool but could I just point out this specific emotion I feel at 1:59 where Holmes does this little guitar lick that transitions right into the end of Kinsella's part and it just keeps going and I'm like 😤😭
I’m seeing them in september and I’m actually ecstatic. I’ve only been listening to them since the start of the year but they’ve became my all time fave. Hope they have fun in glasgow 🏴
I'm thinking about Leaving How I should say goodbye With a hand shake Or an embrace Or a kiss on the cheek Possibly all three Well maybe I've been wrong Maybe my intentions Are irrelevant But honestly it's not just for me We've both been so unhappy So let's just see What happens When the summer ends

Exact same feeling man, I suggest everyone enjoys their least few years of High School cause things CHANGE

Instant chills when he starts playing the trumpet in the song.
this song legit makes me cry

+SimMaster holy frick same
My favorite album, found it at the point in my life where it's the most magical
So with you on that.

Do you mean the drummer
@@charlottestreet3301 the drumpet guy
He's back!
He just wanted to pull a sneaky on us
Nice dillinger pfp
God damn they sound good. That trumpet gave me chills
Loved the song and Kinsella's color changing shirt.
+Camilo Singer Haha basically a mix of two lives
YOUR SHIRT IS RED
Idk man i played this song on guitar while wearing a crewneck sweater, next thing I knew I was wearing a flannel
Its just different

Best version of this I've heard.
Kinsella's voice held up well.
you're the only football i love
What's abt soccer 😉
Liverpool
Both has been so unhappy.... let’s just see what happens when summer ends.... line hits me every god damn time. :(

The trumpet can break any heart in this world

Songs like this are so inspiring to want to write music

such a beautiful performance. they are amazing live.
This is an amazing performance. American Football forever=)
Of all the beautiful melodies, that intro minimalistic drum pattern always got me in my feelings.
1 min in and I’m already tearing up. Damn it :,( this band makes me so damn emotional, in a good way.
It's 1:14 am, i'm in bed thinking about how to leave.
This is beauty. Nothing less..
6:07 the guy with the black shirt is broken
Deeply
Yeah the trumpet is cool but could I just point out this specific emotion I feel at 1:59 where Holmes does this little guitar lick that transitions right into the end of Kinsella's part and it just keeps going and I'm like 😤😭
Beautiful
Always Listen At 3 A.M And This Song Always Make Me Cry :(
brings back so many memories
a studio re-recording of this would be fucking huge
I love Midage Emo
best band of all time ~
I’m seeing them in september and I’m actually ecstatic. I’ve only been listening to them since the start of the year but they’ve became my all time fave. Hope they have fun in glasgow 🏴
I love his voice here! Awesome!
Mike Kinsella is a legend!!!😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
wow wow fucking wow. SO good. Fully stoked for the London shows.
I was there...what a show.
I'm thinking about
Leaving
How I should say goodbye
With a hand shake
Or an embrace
Or a kiss on the cheek
Possibly all three
Well maybe I've been wrong
Maybe my intentions
Are irrelevant
But honestly it's not just for me
We've both been so unhappy
So let's just see
What happens
When the summer ends
That was perfect, amazing and touching.
Super hiper mega foda
Essa música ela entra na alma em milhões de formas diferentes
O trompete é uma anestesia da alma
Great live performance
Best jazz fusion band
PJ Moreau what
Yeah...nop
@@defviiyou can definitely hear jazz on this song. Steve Lamos has brought in a lot of his his love of 70s jazz fusion like Miles Davis on this song
Why can't the album version by in Eb? This is stellar, better than the studio version.
+bluenavyband I don't think that the lower key makes it better... It's more the better quality sound and the bass I think
+theophile richart wait what was it originally? is it down a half step?
+mel gonzalez Yes. For Kinsella's voice I believe
+mel gonzalez I believe they used to play in FACGCE
This song in the original recording is in EAEAbBE and the live version is DbGbDbGBbEb I'm pretty sure
i'm so moved
now this is real emo!
This made me wanna learn the trumpet. Does anyone know if the trumpets hard to learn?
Juan Aguirre I think it just depends man
I’m learning and it’s pretty difficult
But manageable
it's probably gonna be harder than many instruments, since it's not in the key of C
I love the American people !
They love you too friend.
beautiful
how tf did his shirt change colors, i need answers
Come to Mr Smalls in Pittsburgh PLEASE
so good...
i'd love to be there man...i live so far away.
🌹
BEST
Awesome concert. I Guess his wated voice was never meant.....
I hope they make a new album!

Holy shit
Delish song
Mikes voice is ruined, but it kinda adds to it!
with a haaaAAAAAAAAAAAANDSHAAAAAAKE
cool song
I like this version better tbh
oh god oh fuck im a freshman rn im gonna end up like all the commenters
Tbh I envy all the people who get taken back to nostalgic high school/college memories while listening to this. It seems like a cozy feeling.
update to everyone: i have cried to this song a lot bc of high school
oh hey scronch
@@PrototheDodo hey ar(af)
how is it? im a junior and its been a trip
This always good, BUT AM I THE ONLY GETTING MAD THAT HE ONCE WEAR RED FLANNEL, AND THEN HE WEAR GREEN SHIRT, LIKE WTF?
Absolute power move to play maracas while playing bass with your left hand
re piola amigo!!
😢
...when the summer ends.
Amazing performance! I have a man crush on Steve Lamos
WITH A HANDSHAKE OR AN EMBRACE OR A KISS ON THE CHEEK POSSIBLY ALL THREE
The original album brings back so many memories of me and past exes. Fun fact: The 1999 album was recorded in the month I was born; May.
this song makes me do sad emo noises
Man now I’m sad
