  • @emilyonairee lol

    

  • I love Say Anything! Not to mention all the fans, go ussssss!

  • I am very jelly of Sherri.

  • nothing is more loyal than a say anything fan. best band ever with some of the best songs with the most poetic metaphors that explains anyones life in all songs.

  • This may be one of the most beautiful things I've heard.

  • @thecommentsguys true, but if everyone knew that than max bemis could be thrust into a mainstream position, and that would just be saddening.

  • this sounds like death cab

    

  • Max Bernis' singing face = My orgasm face

  • Ill sell my soul to anyone who murders Justin Beaver

    

  • Best song by Say Anything!

  • WHY IS JUSTIN BIEBER IN THE SUGGESTIONS LIST?

  • justin bieber...nobody gives a fuck that you played one time full acoustic live. go fuckin suck a duck faggot.

  • Comment removed

  • TABS!!!!??

  • The only thing i hate more than people who hate bands are the people who have to ruin it by saying something about Bieber. I only brought it up cause every friggn band video i watch the top comment is about how Justin sucks in some way.. Stop Mentioning him in every youtube video and hell dissapear. Simple.

  • mmm i like his geetar

  • @TheBrianZink  its a Gibson Songwriter. A 3000$ guitar. i want one lol

  • @TheBrianZink its a Gibson Songwriter, thats a 3000$ dollar guitar. I want one.

  • bemis' voce is like butta. can never get enough ;)

  • @S503634d LOL butter. xD Sounds kind of gross. More like.. Candy.

  • Does anybody know the guitar chords for this video? Can't find em anywhere. :/

  • Lol his tongue looks weird

  • listen to the words, it's more than just a pop song. it's a fucking masterpiece.

  • yes

  • He sounds off putting live..

  • I see Justin Bieber and Nevershoutnever in the related videos over there -->

    They don't deserve to be in the related videos to this man.

  • @xindestructibleonex You forgot hanson o.o

  • the lighting makes it look like his fingernails are painted orange.

  • This man just bares his soul to you with every note. This song is great in the original version, but acoustically, it took the breath from my lungs.

  • Max Bemis is a beautiful soul with a voice that transcends genres. Everyone should praise him as one of the few gods of music.

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

  • In all of Say Anything's songs the words he sings and speaks mean so much you can see in his facial expressions... Just takes my breath away.

  • id go gay for this man.

  • @voxman007 your not the only one

  • This gave me chills, the good kind :)

  • Max Bemis is probably one of the best song writers of my generation. Unfortuneatley not to many people are aware of that.

  • @TheCommentsGuys Completely Agree with you

  • @TheCommentsGuys

    true dat hes so underated and unknown tis sad tis sad

  • @TheCommentsGuys more like fortunately. too many fags would just ruin say anything.

  • @fuckshitupish Lol lets just keep him and his wonderful music to ourselves....

  • @ak121deadlock good plan.

    

  • @TheCommentsGuys He is our Bob Dylan. If people don't know that now, it's okay, because they will. Max Bemis is a brutally honest man with a love for music and his fan base. He can do no wrong.

  • @runnerthomas77 I think Max Bemis is an incredible songwriter, one of the best of our generation, but he's not on the level where he can be compared to Bob Dylan. The only one who should be considered our generation's Bob Dylan is Conor Oberst. But like I said, Max is almost on that level, I guess its just a matter of opinon, but Conor Oberst is much more comparable to Dylan

  • @evansmithskates I can see where you're coming from, but I maintain what I've said before. Conor Oberst is a good songwriter, but he is far too arrogant and a tad pretentious. A lot of his lyrics have lost relevance post-Bush-era, but Max's words are infinitely applicable. Max effortlessly reeks of sincerity; Conor tries too hard.

  • @TheCommentsGuys its a sad sad fact.

  • he is using a gibson. i forgot what kind, but i went to guitar center the other day and got to play it. it was a really nice guitar. so if yo have $3000 lying around i suggest you buy it.

  • @UmLikeUhlyssa Gibson Songwriter

  • i like the acoustic  version so much more than the album version

  • He may not be the best singer, but man is he the best songwriter!

  • @Baloonsnufsaid It doesn't have to be perfect to be... perfect.

  • This man is my inspiration. I NEED to see him live.

  • @DestanMad

    ugh he's so good.. i've seen him twice now and god they have SO much energy!

  • <3 He is so amazing.

  • @marioagonzales1 Thank you, I was freaking confused why he kept doing that.

  • WHY DOES HE STICK HIS TONGUE OUT?

    I love him but.... ? 1:13

  • @IttyBittytastic He sings like that, it gives him the special sound of his.

  • excellent max, your voice was a lot more on beat than your typical live performances

  • what an amazing man.

  • sooo good

  • I love that weird little tongue thing he does :')

  • I love these acoustic sets... I think that this song acoustically gives it so much more meaning, so much more focus on the lyrics and just what they mean to him. It's beautiful (:

  • wtf is up with this band. every single song makes me like cry. jeez. how kan a band srsly b this amazing. how kan all of theses sounds b soo touching.

  • this acoustic sounds a lot like the bside on their self titled called 'truth serum'. anyways, max is so great, jesus.

  • @sharkxattackk totally, he's using the truth serum chords for this. all their acoustic songs sound very similar... it's the production that differentiates them. he's definitely a stronger lyricist than songwriter per se

  • The beginning of this version sounds like the bside Truth Serum (No Games) from the self-titled

  • Max Bemis is my favorite.

  • You can smother me.

  • i do very much love me some say anything

  • I like this more than the original

  • Justin bieber fans last a few years... Say anything fans are forever

  • @intrugens even though that's an extreme clichéd thing to say, it's really true. Say Anything is awesome.

  • @intrugens that should be the absolute highest rated comment right there ^^^^^^

  • @intrugens Why single out bieber Bieber? Lady Gaga LMFAO Katy Perry and Kesha are all the same.

  • @intrugens STOP FUCKING TALKING ABOUT JUSTIN BIEBER

  • i try n be max,,,,,,,,, like the fact that this song and my song start with baby is couincidence

  • billboard... any new artists???

  • in the defense of the assholes on here, maxs playing is below par

  • he is god

  • @JulianAeterna Have you even heard any other Say Anything songs? Max Bemis is the creative mind behind every album and each song on them. He did all the guitar, bass, and keys in "...Is A Real Boy" and has always wrote amazingly clever lyrics. Some are immature and some are simple (like this one) but all for good reason. The fact that you think Max Bemis is a fag is completely arrogant for he has had sex with countless girls. Probably more than you'll achieve in two lifetimes, you prick.

  • Okay so if Max Bemis goes acoustic, he gets 40,000 views. But when Justin Bieber goes acoustic he gets 6 million. That's cool.

  • @FuckingSwim yeah but max gets his real fans and Justing Beiber gets not real fans, if he grows up people will probably forget him... to max his fans he will be remembered as an eternal hero that made us feel great when we were listening to Say Anything's music (:

  • the dad  go the will

  • @JulianAeterna since when has the username of a person on youtube had anything to do with the credibility of their statements. B1tch N1gg3r makes a good point, and you have the audacity to discredit the statement by poking fun at the name. you did the same with grim reaper. please, for the good of everyone on here, stop talking forever.

  • @JulianAeterna your a fucking idiot, if its your own business send it in a message to the guy because nobody wants to hear your opinion. the only reason you post it here is so people will argue with you. you gotta find a hobby dude and get off the computer... and dont say guitar is your hobby, your not good at it.

  • Whys everyone gotta be a racist freedom loving grammar nazi? This songs plain awesome, if someone comes to my door step playing those last verses ill in awe.

  • @JulianAeterna Oh, by the way, how many girls dig the greasy mop top and shitty guitar playing? Not to mention the videogame review...

  • @JulianAeterna Alright man, why dont you go listen to music you like then? or go find a hobby or something so you wont have to start arguements on YouTube to make yourself feel "cool".

  • @JulianAeterna You my friend are a fucking idiot. First and foremostly they aren't even that popular. Secondly it has nothing to do with their looks, I don't see hard;y any comments on here about how attractive he is as opposed to the other bands in his genre. Thirdly his voice is unique. And lastly the main reason you don't like the music is most likely because your childish brain doesn't understand 90% of the words Max pulls out of his huge vocabulary.

  • I'm so fucking angry

  • whats on his fingers?

  • @acwkretin It's the light. lol

  • his facial expressions = <3

  • @JulianAeterna Actually, it's "you're". No time at all, really, I don't find this argument that important. Glad you took the time from taking it up the ass to write me a comment. Appreciate it!

  • @JulianAeterna You're not going to comment on it because you lack the ability to gain the upper hand on people with higher intelligence than you. Small little mind? Get over yourself, July, take your closet-ridden ass out of the internet if you are going to be a narcissistic fuck. How much does it suck to have everyone on the internet hate you too?

    Faggot.

  • @JulianAeterna I'm pretty sure most people would agree that video games aren't gay? You think I could actually be named Grim Rippir in real life? Sorry, kid, my parents don't hate me and I don't take dicks up my ass.

  • @JulianAeterna You must get off on calling people whom you don't even know a "gay fag". Which, by the way, basically means you're calling him a "happy cigarette". (:

  • @JulianAeterna Coming from a guy named/chooses a username like Julian.

  • @JulianAeterna he doesnt have uniqueness in his voice r u dense he doesnt have the best voice in the world but his shits catchy and totally different find me a nother singer who sounds like him and ill approve ur point...but u dont have 2 be a good singer 2 be unique

  • @magoo122992 like uggghhh....haha just shows how narrow minded u are show some respect fora diff style of music

  • How the hell could anyone hate this music?

  • @JulianAeterna honestly.. you talk shit, come on.

    am i gay because i listening to his music or what?

    i don't listen to music because people look good, i listen to music because i like the way they sound.

    and i really like his lyrics and his voice, it calms me down and most of the "popular singers" can't sing acoustic, because the only point why they're famous IS their looking. but you can't say Max Bemis is that popular.. honestly i don't even know why :o

  • @JulianAeterna So...explain why they have a huge male fanbase? Max is attractive to most BECAUSE of his talent, his popularity isn't a result of his looks.

  • I can spend the rest of my life gazing at his mouth...*drools*

  • That sounds way better than the album version, without a doubt.

  • @humachuka your ass smells like crusty seamen.

  • @humachuka are you on fucking meth? rofl

  • love the song! i prefer the acoustic then the origional version, so somone help me out lol does anyone kno what type of tuning he is in. it would be great if u can help. just message me if u gon an answer. thanx -justin

  • Comment removed

  • @highrisejustin pretty sure it's half step down

  • I have a man-crush on Max Bemis. <3

  • @xxAernaxx

    ditto

    no homo

  • idk i understood the regular version just as well as this one but i like the regular one better

  • I watched this in HD and I liked watching him sweat. I don't even care if you think that's weird, he's god damn sexy when he's all hot and bothered and putting everything in to the performance. Seeing him live beneath the burning hot gantry lights was almost too much to handle :L

  • I see 2 people missed the like button.

  • MAX I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

  • I love his tongue. :]

  • 1:13 major tongue stickout lol

  • Both versions are awesome...

    Sure this version sounds more fragile, but I love how the album version sounds so up-beat whilst the lyrics are so sad.

    Basically everything max does is awesome :)

  • It's like a COMPLETELY different song when it's acoustic. You really get the meaning in this version

  • hey-yay.

  • this song is ten times better acoustic

  • everything about this video is legit

    especially the guitar!

  • i love this song when its acoustic , i love you max bemis <3

  • I love how versatile the songs are, great acoustic, great original, I'd like to see Ke$ha be able to do that.

  • @MissSmores09 i'd like to see kesha do anything other than look like a total trashy whore

  • @MissSmores09 Ke$ha would have to write her own music first.

  • @MissSmores09 shut the fuck up

  • @MissSmores09 i think its terrible in its original form

    he even talks about how crush'd sounds like it was produced by timberland HAHA

    just look up : Say Anything, "Crush'd"

    by username: spin

    i know its a different song.. but i bet he feels the same way.

    its MUCH better with just the acoustic

  • genious

  • Lol the tags of this video are just like an explosion of adjectives having to due with say anything.

  • this version is so... sad. : /

  • someone make a tabs for this lolol xD

  • @ferr17 i just learned it by ear, i might make a tab for it.

  • @XzezX awesome! tell me when you make it

  • @ferr17 yea, its definetly either played in drop D or Eb but i play it in just standerd, sounds good with this video. im trying to work out 2:03 to 2:34. ive never tabbed anything before, but there are zero good (possibly any) acoustic tabs for this song. i might just make a video though....

  • @XzezX Yes I will love you forever, the tabs I find are... um off, but seriously if you do you'd make many people VERY happy. Including me :)

  • spot on max

  • The tabs are almost identical to the ones for 'Truth Serum' aha. :)

  • @antigloboupr You're an apprehensive illiterate cunt, Max Bemis is an absolute genius so go talk like a prick with the disadvantage of vowels elsewhere.

  • Pure amazing, Max is so talented.

  • anyone know where i could find that hoodie? its pretty sweet.

  • favourite acoustic version of this song, so incredible

    max has gorgeous hands
