Just a thought i had from reading your comments. I dont know Max Bemis at all, but he's been pretty open with his fans about how dark a place he was at back when Say Anything first started gaining popularity, and how he's not depressed anymore so he "can't" write about all the terrible stuff in his life. I just think that it seems like he wouldn't like reliving those emotions he felt when he was writing that stuff, despite how good it is musically or what it did for his popularity.
@vanhalen39 Max Bemis and Coby Linder are Say Anything. Everyone else either abandoned them or jumped on the bandwagon. Max Bemis put everything he was into his music and his band. He still does. His life just isn't as dark and depressing as it was, and the band members are different, except for Coby. Coby stood by him all the way.
I love this song and Max Bemis, he's probably my favrorite singer, but does anybody else think this song sounds a tad bit like Words by the Bee Gees? just throwing it out there. whatever idc I still love this song
I can't even express how much this song means to me. Who cares if he hates it or not? He created something amazing that we all as Say Anything fans enjoy. As a fan I will listen to anything they come out with because its 1,000,000:1 odds that its going to be ri-goddamn-diculously amazing. So, despite the argument of if he hates it or not just enjoy the shit and embrace each other as fans. I for one am glad ratehim put all these tunes up because he helped me find all this old amazing shit.
I've had a fling with every Say Anything song except one, and a few long-term relationships. One engagement, but I had to break that off because I realized that this is the song that has always been there for me and that we belong together.
He started plaing old stuff btw.. I was at his solo tour a couple weeks ago, and he sang slumming it, and a couple of oldies.. not as far as dormroom demos, but old..
I hope your fucking happy Max you make me cry with this fucking beautiful song. seriously I don't know how I could be myself with out the music you have given me with so much feeling in them in my youth.
-Your songs have been my most understanding friend,
-my best for advice,
-my funnest entertainment,
and my ticket out of this fucking hateful world when it gets too hard for me.
I'm starting to think that ratehim is either Max or someone close to him because his access to sooo many songs and pictures is out of this world! But I thank god everyday that ratehim was blessed enough to share all of his collection with the world
@ratehim Isn't Baseball technically their first album? Then's theres another album/Eps such as Menorah, mejorah; for sale and someother Eps (forgot the names)
This shit is so much better than that on the new album. I love them no matter what, but these unreleased, or whatever, songs are the best they've done
well yeah but then again how many interviews has he done? really? plus who cares about the drug thing. he's also lives with bipolar disorder and depression and pretty much all his songs are like written about him and stuff so yeah
yes but a few of his songs like "thoughts on a liberal education" like are clearly about doing drugs. i think i heard it in an interview. i dont really remember :O
no i could have sworn i read in an interview that he just didnt like it and didnt really like playing them and only a couple of them he liked but the rest he just doesnt
no no no. back when he wrote all these songs he was on drugs and he dosent want to remind himself of those days because he would be tempted into doing them again.
I can understand that, but I wish Say Anything would just take all these unreleased songs, and stick them on an album. At least that way people don't have to search all over the internet for them, and people who didn't know about them before get to discover them.
@ratehim No he's definitely ashamed of it. He hates baseball and everything previous to it. Thats why he almost never plays baseball stuff live. I love say anything a ton. But honestly most of that stuff is not the quality of writing he is capable of now. He's an amazing poet. It's literally like the short stories Hemingway may have written in high school... He wouldn't be itching to put them on display, especially when the stuff he's doing now is so much better.
@jasonroxorz ...you're trying to say his newer stuff, which has lyrics like "a girl i like, i'd rather ride a bike" and "alone in my apartment, that i call my department, 'cause it's a depressing apartment" is better than his old stuff? personal opinion, i guess. you're speaking for max bemis as if you are him or, at the very least, know him very well. you have no right to go on saying "he's definitely ashamed of it" and "he hates everything baseball" when you're just making assumptions.
@ratehim what songs have those lyrics, buddy? haha I listened to the alt-press interview with him, where he talked about how he wasnt too proud of the stuff he did in high school. Chill. maybe hate and ashamed arent the correct words to describe it but he definitely is more proud of his newer stuff. and it is lyrically more impressive, despite those lyrics you just made up. haha. I don't specifically like the music on the new CD, but the lyrics are really great. Better than baseball, for sure.
@ratehim The reason why he doesn't play most of his old songs is because it brings back painful memories. He said so when I asked him in person 9 months ago.
@ratehim I just thought I should interject a quick fact by saying the lyrics you were quoting from the song "loathing" are in fact an old song that he recently released because everyone was bugging him to release it. So it was actually an older song. I personally appreciate both types of Say Anything music.
I wish Say Anything did some more occasional piano songs like this
