I can honestly say that over the last 20 years, this has been one of my top favorite bands throughout that entire time of my life. I've had so many ups and downs in all of those years, and Jimmy Eat World has always been the soundtrack for my life. I'm so grateful for this band and I hope they know how much they mean to me. It breaks my heart that I've never had the chance to see these guys live, but I cling to the hope that the stars will align and my twin brother and I can see them before they call it quits.

I absolutely agree. I've been with them since Bleed American came out while I was in High School... Never really took the step to see them live... I guess for many years, the opportunity was there, I just didn't realize I could just hop in a car and go see them... I was always "too broke" "too busy", etc... I saw them for the first time right after a traumatic breakup with a girl Inwas going to marry (who cheated on me with my best friend.) J.E.W was something thwt really tied her and I together, as they were our favorites. I was crushed, and instead of telling myself "no", I decided from the moment that relationship and friendship ended, that there was no more excuses. I finally had a chance to see the country and do whatever I wanted to do... That was 2013, over a decade into my love for J.E.W... and I figured what better way to start healing and get retribution than to go see them WITHOUT her, since we had talked about it many times... I went to see them.in Charlotte and it was very emotional, FINALLY seeing them live and in person. I bought tickets a few weeks later for their Asheville show, even closer to my home. Soon after my (now) wife and I got together. I've seen them live on the "Futures" 10'th anniversary tour, and a total of 7 times... Believe me when I say, you MUST go see them... find a way... do whatever you can, because I missed out on it for so very long... Hell, tickets aren't even that expensive usually... $30-50 apiece depending on the venue... take a day or two, drive out and catch a show and get an affordable hotel for the night... DO IT!

@@ChrsGuit Thanks for sharing your story man. I'm so sorry to hear about what happened with the first girlfriend cheating with your best friend, but it sounds like things turned out for the better, and the fact that you were able to heal and not let your memories of the past ruin J.E.W. for you is really awesome. I'm not giving up on seeing these guys yet, if they're within a day or two of driving and I'm able to do it, I won't let it pass me by. Thanks again for sharing the inspirational story of you and Jimmy Eat World.

Also... Jim Adkins never ages. It's miraculous.

I don't know how this band continues to find ways to legitimately surprise me with every release. This is so damn beautiful.

Seems clear that the lyrics are about us, as a human race - continually falling for the same lies. The 'American Dream', war, reality shows, politicians, the wealthy, news. It's all manufactured lies, and people keep buying it. He's saying, we can be better, and happier if we only tried to be more honest with ourselves.

This is a prime example of why Jimmy Eat World’s more delicate, moodier side is so special and my favorite side of them. 23, Be Sensible, Table For Glasses, Over, Disintegration, the original Your House, Polaris… I could go on. Thank you for this gorgeous piece, fellas!

Dude!

Integrity Blues vibes from this one!! Looking forward to the next album

Jim has this magical voice that sounds like "no matter what happens, everything will be, somehow, ok in the end"

When so many other bands have come and gone in my playlist through the years, Jimmy Eat World is THAT band I’ve grown up alongside. Their music spoke to me as an awkward middle schooler, and continues to do so now that I am a husband and a father.

Just staring at Jim for 5 minutes...makes for one of the best music videos of the year.

It's been 26 years since I got to listen to you guys for the first time. I finished elementary school, graduated from high school, got my college degree, went through more than 10 jobs, I've traveled to half a dozen countries, I've lived in 3 of them, I've moved atleast half a dozen times, gone through several relationships, moments of joy, moments of heartbreak, moments of depression, tear and laughs, births and funerals, heck I even got to live a full pandemic. People have come and gone, yet you guys are still there making headbangers. Another masterpiece by a band that, like Jimbo, ages like fine wine. Keep it up, Jimmy Eat World.

this has such a 'clarity but more modern' vibe and I am so here for it. clarity will always remain one of my favorite albums of all time.

This band means so much to so many of us. Please don’t stop

not a single other band on earth has helped me through my life the way this one has. it's been 21 years since i first heard the middle and i fall more in love with their music every day. this song is so gorgeous, the lyrics cut as deep as anything from futures, im just beside myself once again and so thankful i have this band in my life.

Been trying to get the same cut actually.

This is beautiful. A song that just came out, and now I can't imagine Jimmy Eat World without it! I read Jim's writeup on their site, "The 'Debt' you rack up is the time you spend avoiding doing the work to know yourself. You buy an ending every time you start something, and the cost is determined by how closely you pay attention to your personal condition." ("Be present in your time along the way.") Makes me think of the saying "breathe into it" rather than resist (pain, etc.) and how acceptance is actually more active than passive. 2:30 in I got so emotional. The sound is so good.

The video fit the mood of the track perfectly. Especially the thunderstorm in the shot right at the end. A beautiful song from a band that has never done otherwise.

This is absolutely beautiful. Musically, visually. All of it. Forever one of my favorite bands.

The time spent and put in to make this video is amazing. It appears as though this song has been in his head for awhile now.

I am not in a good place in my life right now, and I've needed to hear these words from someone or something for a long time. This song is helping me to build up the courage to face a change and get out of something that is not good for me, but has been too scary to move on from. Your music has been special to me for pretty much exactly half of my life, but this, on a personal level, is the most special song yet. I'm tired of the misery. I'd rather have the growing pains.
