kinda was the only LP they had at the time of playing, but also an EP of the same name, now they have a total of 3 LPs and 2 EPs
Got into my dream college having used this song to audition with on drums. Also got over a past relationship using this song. To say it has a massively deep meaning to me would be an understatement. Thank you American Football

Actually they never toured since this reunion. The First LP was recorded and they splitted
My band played with AF in Champagne, IL in 99’. I was so amped to play with Mike Kinsella. Our drummer who was normally rock solid forgot or played the wrong song altogether the entire set. It ended with me throwing my bass at him. He looked at our guitar player and said, “I had an off night.” Funny story now, but at the time I was furious.

t. papaccio This is live. Again live recordings are different,with less quality,it's even different on how it sounds in the rooms (acoustic of it).They're all different sounding,being in the concert,listening to an studio album or listening recorded live. Also maybe he had a sore throat.

The vibes of this emotional sadness is like when your girlfriend won't allow you to go to this american football gig. But you sneak out and when you arrived, you saw her with a different guy. ~
I love how Steve is always 1000% grooving when he's on the kit. He's a fucking champ.
I wish I could relive this concert because it was awesome I really hope I get to see American football again but in Chicago this time
I don’t really care about the emo tag and all the connotations it comes with.. this is a perfect song. It’s a song I play when I think of a specific person and as impossible as our situation is I know she listens to this same song with the same intention and for me that’s the truest sense of love. Great band.

"there were some things that were said that weren't meant" could mean bad things said in moments of anger or could mean all the empty words of love from the relationship. Really great line.

Best concert I have ever seen. Please never stop playing, even if it's just now and then.

I think I first heard this song 18 years ago, and I swear each time I listen to it, it gets better. I don't know if it will ever get better than this version though, with the crowd echoing "overly" before the song speeds up. Only thing that would beat it is if they come to Australia.
