Summer Stars - Taking Back Sunday

[superjuper27]

The background vocals at 2:50 onwards definitely sound like Jesse

[jbshaver829]

sounds like sunny day real estate. shits cool

[QueenVeeTv]

I love this song so much! :)

[Fanchus]

JESSE LACEY!!

[drinkswithevil]

god i miss highschool =( times were so much simpler. fml....

[MrButton1991]

without me by your side you said you were all alone give me one more chance to prove myself to you all the little things that i long to do would you trade the course so that i could hold you would it all go away and my heart is breaking would you hear me baby as the tears are longing for what it used to be.- Beautiful part of the song. :'(

[hxcswagg]

So on the cover it is from left to right: John, Adam, Mark, Antonio, Eddie?

[brattynemz]

I love the TBS back then and I love the TBS right now. Fave band EVER.

[MrButton1991]

i think this song is about a relashionship during the summer and the 2 never thought it would end bcuz it says "Never thought you'd be part of my past" and the guy is really hurting now cuz he is saying And my heart is breaking (when you went away) and the guy keeps saying how happy they were and how much the girl cared about him before she broke his heart...

[AnsarisMusic]

What was this band thinking at the time? They had the future amazing TBS singer on bass, the future amazing Straylight Run singer on guitar, and the future amazing Brand New singer also on bass... why would they allow this shitty singer to open his mouth?

[dayzedaway]

this shits sick ass

[drinkswithevil]

this is highschool

[TheJackptm]

mmmmm me gusta esta xevre bonita letra

[brokenupbeat]

before taking back sunday sucked.

[Mrwilljones16]

@brokenupbeat I think you mean 'back when TBS sucked' bc the new album is incredible.

[KIDFURYTubeTV]

@Mrwilljones16 really

[Mrwilljones16]

@KIDFURYTubeTV truly and honestly, best album since TAYF easily, maybe bettr than that

[KIDFURYTubeTV]

@Mrwilljones16 i totally agree with you on that my friend =)

[okeomslax26]

this is their best song from befor tayf. the parts with jessie are so fucking epic

[Say95Cheese]

@okeomslax26

jesse IS fucking eeeeeepic

[sealsaregay]

2:20 on gives me goosebumps

[sealsaregay]

If Jesse Lacey joined back into TBS now that they have the original lineup it would be the greatest everr!!!

[sinclairkid88]

wow, sensing a bit of hostility on this page...chill out, seriously. ps Jesse Lacey is the shit!!!! :D

[aaron9069]

a few years ago i was downloading tbs songs and i heard this labeled as i'll let you live and didnt find out whatit was called till now

[0y3lou]

WOW for the 2nd voice/back up vocal

[TheMr69Skater]

I 'LOVE' THIS SONG!!! BEST "SONG EVER"!!! :D

[andieexo]

the only good part of this song is the part Jesse Lacey sings... hahahah.

[McHaydn]

4:12 mobile phone? 

[zmoney682]

omg... is that jesse lacey in the second to left in that pic?

him and John Nolan looked SOOOO similar back then hehehe

now they look nothing alike O.o

[FakingApathy]

@zmoney682 No, that's Adam. Look up the video to "Great Romances of the 20th Century". He used to have really short hair.

[bogusbobby9]

@zmoney682 Pretty sure Jesse's the second from right but I could be wrong..I think the order from left is John Nolan, Adam, Antonio, Jesse, Eddie. But idunno if those 5 were ever even together at the same time..

[tornadotornado123123]

@bogusbobby9 its nolan, adam, mark, antonio, eddie i believe

[Jordanrracer]

Such raw emotion. Lovin' this song since 05

[blackmambaXCI]

Not really a fan of Longo but I do love that Jesse is singing back up. Picture Jesse and Adam with dual vocals. That would be awesome.

[jmart1333]

@blackmambaXCI would be awesome, but then no brand new

[blackmambaXCI]

@jmart1333 Yea true. Brand New is awesome.

[xReney]

This song..made me cry..

[Badxluckx21]

im more of a fan of adam jesse's best album was deja entendu great job jesse and adam BTW whats this album called?

[bogusbobby9]

@Badxluckx21 It's the Taking Back Sunday EP

[Galifett]

Hey who's Antonio? I think he's good!!

[WinstonXArilo]

@Galifett He's the original original lead singer of TBS. He actually helps out with an open mic-night at a coffee shop in my hometown. Well used to, at least. Nice guy.

[Ksbweapon16]

dude wheres go on?

[thisisjustplainstupi]

why would jesse not be lead back then. Antonio is very very boring.

[Liar8877]

@ Milsemaassen

"Is that what you call tact? your as subtle as a brick in the small of my back so lets end this call and end this conversation" are the last words Jesse said in the phone call that ruined their friendship.

[okeomslax26]

is eddy the only orignal member left

[ILikeFood0460]

@okeomslax26 and john

[milesmaassen]

Lets pretend adam and jesse werent in the band together (despite videos of them playing together), could someone explain "is this what you call tact?" and its obvious usage to mock each other in "70x7" and "theres no i in team?" since you guys are such experts.

[Vaipan]

damn, seven years ago i used to belt this song till tears squeezed out of my eyes and assumed i was bad ass for having this EP

[dangermuffin2]

oh and jesse did the back up vocals, not the other guy, atleast thats what it sounds like

[dangermuffin2]

jesse lacy is amazing

[normsteez]

where can i get an mp3 of this

[WithoutAnyHope]

Oh my gosh... I know them all. Hawthorne Heights, Brand New... but i didn't know there were all conected O__O That's a shock xD

Ps: I love adam : )

[soccercrazy309]

@WithoutAnyHope how are they connected to hh?

[aleisalmighty]

how is tbs connected to hawthorne heights ? :S

[punkmusicmetal]

LOL, last 15 seconds man, listen for the cellphone that goes off in the background! you gotta turn it up to hear it.!

[hinderfreak22]

yeah someones cellphone went off while they were recording this

[codexzero]

Awesome song.

[iAmTheLurch]

this song has earned a place in my heart

:')

[AstroZombee87]

Wow this is so crazy..i think he sounds awesome though, mad props to Jessie, TBS and brand new..old and new stuff it all rocks hard. New stuff resembles modest mouse kind of..

[BrandXdude1567]

anyone who listens to their new stuff, would say THAT ISNT TBS, lol only original member whose been in it for ages is eddie. jesse just reminds me and makes this sound like a brand new song lmao

[TheMetallicafan7]

he stuck qith them for cute without the e for second voclala

[DILLBOT]

@TheMetallicafan7 who did? Jesse left before Adam joined, since Adam took his place on Bass, then ended up being vocalist because as you can hear their original vocalist is pretty bad.

[xComaDivine]

Yeah, I just reaon Wikipedia about Jesse Lacey being back up vocals for this song and Go On. I went on Youtube instantly. Not much of a fan of TBS, but I love Jesse Lacey

[funniestbone]

hah, that's why I'm here too

[thetruthincliche]

@xComaDivine I just did the same exact thing. Except i love tbs.

[beefstu4dinner]

@xComaDivine

same here

[barty417]

john nolan/jesse lacey sound exactly the same anyway, who cares. even though it is jesse :P

birchwood007

you have no musical clue. jesse on lead vocals would change the whole dynamic of the song, you need clean vocals for the most part, this song is way too slow and melodic for his vocal style over antonio's

[soccercrazy309]

that is def jesse on backing vocals. on the when u run away u said youd be things

[kmmorton08]

Yep

[samsta001]

Yeah for sure...

[baretree298]

Jeremy Michael Curtis, suicide July 2, 2009, loved this song. I'm his dad, I love it too.

[kjs1324]

I give you all the sympathy in the world. I understand the pain of losing a family member that way. Thanks for sharing and it's a good song to love.

[kjs1324]

to baretree298 that is...

[86collind]

what happ. to antonio is he in any other band

[Shroomasaur]

no hes till trying to kick off his music career.

[CookooEmi]

really i like Adam's voice better..

[nikkolei]

i like this song but i wish adam would sing it...is there any adam version?

[birchwood007]

adam wasn't in the band yet. the biggest mistake if this song was not letting jesse do the lead vocals. long live brand new!

[nikkolei]

yeah! :D

[092755]

i like Antonio Longo's voice than Adam

[choko453]

i like adams voice more than antonios adams voice fits it better

[kawknbawls]

the good ol days....

[pinksunday33]

umm..

[Ashtradamus]

wow, nothing like TBS now

[drumgodlars]

kinda yes and no but it does sound like something that lead up to tell all your friends

[Ashtradamus]

true.

[buddhaknowsall]

freds better

[Sadponyguerillagirl]

Jesse's voice was so much better than whoever was the singer before Adam.

[NathanPathan]

there was a few singers before adam...

[mattplayscheap]

the background vocals are Jesse from Brand New

[tamubasketball]

i wish u could buy taking back sunday's ep

[tamubasketball]

awesome song. love it man

[thatfreaknextdoor]

I haven't listened to this song in a long long long time. I used to have the digital copy on my computer but we had to reformat it and everything got deleted :( thanks for this though!! :]

[hargett]

Glad they broke up. Brand New and TBS both amaze me. If they had stuck together, I'd only be half as amazed lol. Brand New and TBS rule.

[giantsquid18]

Brand New rules, TBS used to be cool but now they are just GAY.

[ramennoodleking]

i echo that sentiment. They sold out pretty quick, now they are entirely too cookie-cutter for my tastes. let the TBS fanboy flames begin

[mattplayscheap]

both bands are still together

[erickskaka]

hahah same thing happened to me i wanted to put this song on my myspace but i taught it was called I'll Let You Live

[DownhillDestination]

i would be so pissed off if i were one of the original members of tbs because these people r taking credit of wat u started

[loveyousomucho94]

there new adam is exellent.

both new & old song just always amaze me.

i lovee every song(:

tbs forever!.

[okeomslax26]

k all i know is the best part of this song is when jessie is backing at the end

[benstinator11]

around 4:15 , its quiet, but you can hear a cell phone go off

[aaackermaaan]

this is so real

how influential can one song/group of unbelieveably talented musicians be?

[Itssjustmee]

in my opinion, their new album New Again, isnt as good as their old stuff :(

[tatsbringssexyback]

I think this is my favorite band of all time. After the Louder Now cd, I started listening to all their songs and I love every one. And by the way logantogovtcenter, I'm 17. Not 14 :P

[logantogovtcenter]

this is a great song.

makes me long for the olden days when tbs was not a band for strictly 14 year old girls.

[elli04reeli03]

all iknow is that they suck now

[OneManArmyVideos]

All i know is i went to your page and three of your last 5 comments were cutting down TBS. So, All i know is your a worthless prick with too much time on your hands, for one. And you obviously are retarded because TBS has ruled the bands equal to their popularity at every stage of their growth. But, you're probably one of those cool kids who only likes bands old stuff so you can rag on everyone else aren't you?

That's all i know you fucking piece of shit.

[FanboyOfNone]

Didn't see what you're replying to, but...

Tell All Your Friends was a masterpiece because of its raw, GENUINE emotion. Where You Want To Be was a step down, but great in its own right. After that...they've continued to stagnate lyrically and musically. I think it's telling that TBS has had about 10 members shifting in and out of their band over the years. I'm not sure if it's Adam's problem, but obviously something's wrong if they can't stick to the same band members for two albums.

[FanboyOfNone]

@OneManArmyVideos

Furthermore, I imagine the lineup changes would have a negative effect on their music, and it shows.

Look at Brand New. They've had one line-up change in ten years. They continue to evolve quickly and maturely. Your Favorite Weapon to Deja Entendu seems like two different bands. I haven't even grown to like their newest album, but I can respect it. Because they're moving forward.  Their lyrics are still fantastic. Jesse Lacey and company play to move the genre forward.

[lollookatmeman]

where can i download these songs?

[xxkate152xx]

the demos are the best = )

they're so raw and amazing.

[SX55555blueredgreen]

well technically, it isnt a demo. its an ep

[08fool]

lol technically you're are smartass and i love it

[littlerayofsunshine7]

@SX55555blueredgreen same difference.

[Devin2200]

I miss the really old TBS. I so love Jesse. He rocks my socks off.

[holevine]

what i find wrong with Louder Now is that whilst the songs are perhaps catchier the lyrics seem to have lost the honesty and raw-ness that was on TAYF (and even WYWTB). To me, now, they just sound like every other rock band you hear on the radio.

[zachhh182]

yeah right? tbs is so unique ! ya fuck.. haha

[OneManArmyVideos]

why do people rag on louder now so much...i've always been a big taking back sunday fan and i love that cd. If you've seen taking back sunday live and they played my blue heaven...my lord i get shivers thinking about it. Some bands new cd's get worse from where they began but i personally haven't seen that with these guys in my oppinion. There born again cd could do the trick though... I'll try to be hopeful though.

P.s. I love Fred, but The color Fred was a let down to me at Warped. oh well

[yibbell]

you're so right... my blue heaven is actually amazing. and spin is just raw energy- "open arms reject assuming hands" is such a typical tbs line aswell.

[xXxXSum41XxXx]

hört sich an wie die alten lieder von silverstein

it´s sound like the old silverstein songs..

[cinnamonbuns21]

adam single handly killed taking back sunday

lounder now = one of the biggest dissapointments ever

[BrianTheAsian]

thank god, someone agrees with me. new again is gonna be another disappointment too. they lost that honesty they used to have in their lyrics.

[DamienDraiman]

Well John Nolan and Adam in TBS was great, and the "Where you Want to be" featuring Freddy was also very good. I will agree that Louder Now Sucked.

All I know is that seeing how Straylight Run and The Color Fred are with the people leaving TBS, whoever leaves TBS next will have a great band as well.

[masterprtzl]

i personally hate The Color Fred but Straylight has become one of my favorite bands :P

[hargett]

I'm the same way.

[turneruligian]

amazing at 2:20 on

[laylabizp]

Hahaha i agree

but i also think it's the best part of this song

[ModestDanny]

omg!! haha the same thing happened to me! i had that song on my gf's ipod n it was thid one like OMG :D

[GodModeGaming]

Antonio Longo FTW, best TBS singer just above Nolan.

[acadencePreD]

antonio was awesome, not better than nolan though. Nolan should have always been the permanent voocalist. lmfao antionio is now the manager at guitar center and managing kills and thrills

[battylashes]

haha...this is what happened to me too! i downloaded i'll let you live and i got this song too. =D

[Blobsterisation]

SAME LOL

been trying to work out the lyrics for ages to discover the real name D;

[SX55555blueredgreen]

well here you go! lol

[quintindaman3]

this was back when adam was on bass good times!

[redandpewter55]

Adam was not in TBS then. That is Jesse Lacey (Brand New) on bass and backup vocals.

[quintindaman3]

ehhhhhh!WRONG!

[ceesone]

hahaha yea

jesse lacey was on bass but he

left the band to start brand new

so they got adam to finish the

rest of this ep

[GodModeGaming]

Picking up Adam = worst decision ever.

[whatsanegg443]

What the fuck?

adam lazzara is awesome! he's amazing. why do you say its a bad decision?

[GodModeGaming]

Because Adam was good originally, but after WYWTB he sold out.

Plus Adam was the reason that John and Fred both left the band, and he's nowhere near the showman he used to be back in TAYF or WYWTB days.

[notyourmartyr]

It's true. Although I'd probably move away from the whole mic swinging thing after everyone and their grandma started doing it, too.

[GodModeGaming]

Very, very, very true

[acadencePreD]

completely agree but dude, new again is incredible, like its a good comeback from the days they lost john nolan...and even shaun cooper, im actually diggin it.

[b312h3ll]

is that adam who backing up the vocals?

[ohpkyle]

Sounds like an early Jesse Lacey to me!

[lugmcnut]

because mics are for singing, not swinging

[smfboline71]

i think johns doin back up

[spike339]

Where the hell can i get the ep or this song?

[SX55555blueredgreen]

sorry but the only source i can think of is limewire

[suicidedo11]

i have it. pm me so i can send to your email.

[26glenside]

I can send you this song and Lost and Found and Go On. Just send me your e-mail but plz mark it TBS then I know what you want.

[comer310]

Oh, the glory days.

[boo801]

wow

there wayy better wit adam

[xokawaiineonxo]

i love this song!!

[tomgirl1341]

coolness i cant wait but i wish fred were still there!

[SX55555blueredgreen]

too bad fred went solo

[tomgirl1341]

adam is the best lead vocalist without him takingback sunday wouldn't be as good as they are now

who is in the band now and when are they coming out with a new album?

[SX55555blueredgreen]

right now its adam lazzara (lead vocals), matthew fazzi (new backup vocalist & lead guitar), matt rubano (bass, backup vocals), eddie reyes (rhythm guitar), mark o'connell (drums), and the new album will be called "new again" and will be released in early 2009

[orias1987]

No Adam is the reason they have had three lineup changes, and drove out talent far better than him. First he drove out Jesse Lacey, then John Nolan and now Fred. Two of them have made bands better than Taking Back Sunday and The Color Fred's debut album was good.

[SX55555blueredgreen]

adam didnt drive out jesse. nolan did. adam drove away nolan. fred just left

[Multifire]

Wait how did adam drive out nolan?

[SX55555blueredgreen]

adam drove away nolan cause adam was dating nolan's sister and cheated on her so john left tbs and formed straylight run

[Multifire]

Oh well, at least we now have three good bands instead of one.

[SX55555blueredgreen]

i dont listen to straylight run... they good?

[Multifire]

They are pretty good, I recommend you search "Soon we will be living in the future" by them to see for yourself if you like them. They different from TBS and Brand New, in my opinion, in the sense that they are quieter. So you are just going to have to decide for yourself if they are something you would listen too.

[houndo]

That incident happened six months before Nolan left. He left cuz he didn't want to play TBS music any longer

[tumitama]

Lol, nobody remembers Longo, but he was kicked out cause he is a dick haha.
