04 - Jimmy Eat World - For Me This is Heaven Live

[bootlegguy]

I have been able to get my future wife to love this song and band that I have always loved and we have chosen this to be our first dance at our wedding in 2 months.

[q0rkie]

[protexblueclash]

[ninfo0n]

wonderful voice. wonderful lyrics. wonderful music. awesomeness.

[josefineflygge]

"if i don't let myself be happy now, then when?" ah this song means so much to me. <3

[Iholsinger]

I'd kill to see this live

[andrew10149]

@Iholsinger i would kill for jims les paul guitar



[bootlegguy]

@andrew10149

Seen them this year and last year and he didn't touch that axe either time

[Syzygy1215]

argh I hate how the audio and video don't quite line up. Is this just me?

[tnemiller]

for me, uh...

[springjet1]

Jim's playing in the end the best!

[emsoapbox]

This entire album is insanely good. PS- Is that the girl from the Rocking Horse Winner?

[emsoapbox]

This entire album is insanely good

[bec6143]

@emsoapbox Clarity is awesome, but I still prefer Futures, the combo of Kill/23 is just too awesome.

[angeway]

The best song ever!

[lk7ar]

best band>best album>best song.

[ShetlandGiraffe]

For 4 people this song is hell.

[JamieCleaton1]

sorry, but the piano made this song for me, and her backing vocals!

[stateofyou]

@JamieCleaton1 it's as if the keyboard/piano and guitars in the bridge are making sweet love

[eFxLiiVe]

when r these guys gunna get good @ their instruments?

[HamSandwich09]

@eFxLiiVe When they stop being excellent.

[AustFisch]

@eFxLiiVe When you learn how to spell

[wolfin2007]

Wow absolutly outstanding!

[Hrisdolgr]

i love it!!!!

[ChaosFerTheKids]

Ohh my god. Favorite song on the Clarity album. Lovelovelove.

[whatsername707]

For me THIS is ass-kicking awesome!

[lostquantum05]

how they do it? i love this band great video

[JayLacelle]

really nice vocal harmonies between jim, tom, and the chick on the keyboards

[savelove]

i wish i knew notes, this sounds amazing!

thanks for all the uploads!

[gunsfounddeadly]

Sweet Rich is playing on

[katastr0feN]

the guitar sounds a little bit like the bassline in blink 182 - josie :D

[charlos44]

nice bass!!!!

[MrGentlehand]

that's a Les Paul he's using right?

[Slinky920]

Jim's playing a Gold Top Les Paul and Tom's playing a Rickenbacker

[eclipsestyle]

"If I don't let myself be happy now then when? If not now, when?" <3 <3 <3

[willsworthy]

@ 3:20 he just goes off.i love that riff! to me it makes the song.why are they so under rated?

[jBird223]

anyone know the notes for the bridge on piano?

[muddykipz]

it's octaves of F-F#-F-Eb-F-C#

[jBird223]

thank u so much. really appreciate it.

[Ocredin]

I like it in a major key....Yours works fine, but F#, G, F#, E, F#, D works for me =p

[therookie93]

If your talking about muddykipz comment those notes are also in a major key. yours is in G major but his is in like F# major which is what the song is definitly in. Oh well the transposition sounds just as amazing!

[ForMeThIsHeaven]

I LOVE Jimmy Eat World....if nobody could tell. ;o)

[Pyritmann]

Nice Name!!!

[TNation98]

awesome song!

[marsvolta091]

man i love this... the whole clarity album is one op the best albums out there...

[jmsc098]

Great Song!..Jimmy Eat World Ftw!

[Lambinio]

this is so beautifully performed.

it's my favourite jimmy song. <3

[4starmary]

it's unbelievable how naturally jimmy plays the outro...i listened to these last ten seconds over and over and wonder: he doesn't even need to look, he's in it...

[deljolley]

I still feel the butterflies. even though you're gone. years later. I still feel them.

[WFSF777]

I don't even get past the intro without almost crying this is so beautiful.

[emoboi86]

Holy crap, I was already creaming my pants just from watching a live performance of this song, and then the amazing Rachel Haden appears and I nearly lose it!

[MakeToastNotWar]

This song makes me so sad and so happy at the same time <3

[HeartAttackMan74]

i don't wanna sound like a queer or nothin, but for me this song is heaven.

[T3hL337Sesshy]

@HeartAttackMan74 Those sickening homosexuals, going around openly expressing their emotions! They're an insult to males everywhere!

[MoonbeamBucket]

@HeartAttackMan74 Nice bit of homophobia there. Awesome.

[brann1999]

@MoonbeamBucket What he said is an Orgazmo reference.

[BlackBalloonsFly23]

I love jimmy eat world. They have the best lyrics ever!

[caughtinthefray]

their lyrics are so good they get referenced in OTHER SONGS.

(SoCo fans know, the first line from For Me This Is Heaven is in Konstantine.) I mean, that's the ultimate. This song is the most beautiful ballad, I love it so much.

[gardennome90]

I just like the way he rocks out on the guitar

[SchnicktotheSchnack]

Hafenkäse!!!

[theseampsgoto11]

Rachel + Tom + Jim = Awesome 3-part harmony

[billingsly5150]

Clarity = J.E.W. at their apex. They have never been better, and with every year I hope they will stray back to that album, it's fluidity, soulfulness and poetics. Since Led Zeppelin, there's never been a better fusion of rock and orchestra.

[fobchick78]

Funny. For me, this song is heaven.

[jrichard1977]

One of my favorite songs! Beautiful!

[brainmilk]

Yep. This is awesome. Clarity seems to be more and more of a precious artifact of an album with each passing year.

[benenemy]

i scond that.

[pugnerd]

I'd 3rd that.

[renba7en]

I 7th it cuz I like 7 and this song is perfect.

[thecrazycousins]

All in favour of adding their name and number to this list say "I"...

I!

[Crazyhomie77]

i 4th that

[thecrazycousins]

Yep. This is awesome. Clarity seems to be more and more of a precious artifact of an album with each passing year..............

Just thought I'd start the cycle again :D

[Crazyhomie77]

I!

For this tune

[beliarosas]

i JEW is awesome

[pugnerd]

haha me to, they rule!

[cookiebitchsnitch]

the bridge reminds me of beauty and the beast

[FunkMisterNate15]

Jimmy Eat World is probably one of the only good bands around anymore. They dont have one bad song from static prevails to Chase this Light, lets hope that never changes on there next albums which i garantee it wont

[SVTristan]

i just lost my best friend..... god this song is beautiful... it offers me some comfort... JEW will someday get the recognition they SEVERELY deserve for their greatness..

[Rock43v3r91]

great performance:D

[pugnerd]

I love both Jimmy Eat World and Green Day. But if I had to choose, it's Jimmy Eat World, by allot.

Green Day has more albums, I own seven (that's including the Foxboro hottubs thing, which is crap), and I'm not leaning in to the two others, they don't interest me. But Jimmy Eat World has only five, got them all, and I can actually listen to the whole for all of them. And none of them I regret buying, like I do with nimrod, a little. They're both very amazing, but Jimmy is for sure better.

[yarzin66]

huh?

[pugnerd]

I'm comparing Jimmy eat world to green day.

I like Jimmy eat world better, though I still love green day, it's just that jimmy eat world is better (in my opinion).

[tomjobo]

this song is our anthem of my girlfriend..absolutely brilliant, classic and the most underrated love song of all time! long live JEW!

[pugnerd]

I love how Jim sways in the verses. :D

It really works with the song (which nobody should hate).

[pugnerd]

Ok, I've said it before I'll say it again: JIM IS CUTE!

[EpisodeVI]

I honestly think this is the best video on youtube.

[ashaman72]

I saw them Monday night (July 14th) in Vancouver. Brilliant show. My only regret is that they did not play this song :( Oh well. There's always next time.

[ENEMAoftheAUSSIES]

i like the bit after he sings the second chorus its heaps kewl with the guitar and the piano

[shesnotdead]

I love this song...Jimmy forever

[jrichard1977]

This is my absolute favorite JEW song! BEAUTIFUL!!! ANGELIC!!!

[idlekind]

most favorite song along with no sensitivity

[allapologies95]

words cannot describe this song... brilliant, just brilliant

[tomfoolery1990]

This song is amazin especially with the backin vocals an pianox

[CharissaAlex]

this song has so much meaning to me, my first love sent it to me and we used to lay in bed listening to it over and over...weve been broken up for a year and a half now, but i still love it :)

[ribenaripple]

i don't think any band on earth (possibly any song either) compares to jew

[Co2thaD]

If anyone is familiar with Something Corporate...there's a reference to this song in the song Konstantine..."to jimmy eat world and those nights in my car...when the first star you see, might not be a star.." bad ass

[rdamago]

@Co2thaD yes I just saw Konstantine and reminds me this epic song! so here I am! xD

[drktrs]

i want this version as an mp3... :(

[fiercey]

the only other album as perfect as this is illmatic by nas

[drktrs]

how good this song is can't be put into words.

i smile when i hear it, each and every time.

[elkapo4]

good lirycs

go jimmy

[clubhard]

i just want to lie on the grass with my girlfriend, and let this song surround me, god it feels like as if i am floating in space

[Fylde221]

great, great, great.

[tomjobo]

Clarity is like Self titled album blink182.. = Timeless Classic!true masterpiece! mark and tom of blink182 originally likes so much JEW, even on the wedding day of Tom, JEW surprised them with a live performance!\m/

[Wildness744]

Very true, mark hoppus always said throughout blink in interviews that jimmy eat world was his favorite band

[itsmillertime295]

no offense to blink really, but I don't think they belong in the same sentence as jimmy and clarity. Clarity is one of the very most influential albums in modern rock today. Ask nearly any modern rock musician who's in their late teens to early thirties and they'll all put this album up there as one of their biggest influences, invariably.

[boobear1121]

this is one of the best versions of this song... oh it makes me happy :)

[jewfanboy]

omg, its so good, it makes me cry! :P

jimmy eat world with amy ross is just killin'!!

[boobear1121]

except that rachel hayden

[jewfanboy]

wasnt it amy ross who recorded with them? i never heard about an other girl who worked with them?

[Wildness744]

Im pretty sure rachel hayden sung backing vocals on my my sundown, hear you me, and cautioners off of bleed american not sure about clarity though

[jewfanboy]

I do know amy ross did some vocals in their new album chase this light

[boobear1121]

i know rachel hayden was in authority song and sundown... and im pretty sure about clarity 2.. maybe new album? but there arent really many female harmonies that i can hear i could be wrong tho

[jewfanboy]

Let it happen, listen to the chorus. and she did some more vocals, but i dont have the album here. if you do have the album, look in the booklet! but whatever, they both sound good!

[boobear1121]

thanks, awesome i wasnt aware of that, but thats cool and rachel hayden is pretty cool i know nothing of amy ross.. glad you clarified, thanks!

[renba7en]

This is the best album I've ever heard, by any band. This, followed by Before These Crowded Streets by Dave Matthews Band. Drool!

[petem89]

oh and by the way, i love jim's moves around 3.30 :]

[petem89]

i hope to god they play this in birmingham on the 19thh

i just absolutely love this song.

[Stumoo]

Yes, I still think this is the best live version of any song on youtube. Wowza

[tomjobo]

Clarity, Bleed American, Futures, and Chase this Light are on the same level of greatness..100% just like blink182's Self titled..never gets old..

[emotionaldisaster11]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!!!!

[robosaur69]

tell that bitch to shut up >:[

[boobear1121]

honey if she werent in there you'd bitch then 2... so YOU shut up

[robosaur69]

lmao

[Robbins05]

Clarity is seriously the best album by any band ever. By a lot.

[enzie2]

great song!:)

[jrichard1977]

Favorite band, favorite song of this band, just simply beautiful song. I hope they write more like this one. Also, "Chase This Light" is an awesome song!

[renba7en]

god this is good

[mattawns]

this is the best song ever!, i've heard this one a lot of times!

[petem89]

this is an album where not one song ever wears out

in other words, it's the perfect album:]

[raVengeance]

jimmy eat world is my favorite band ever and this song just makes me cry everytime. GOSH im so emo lol

[Stumoo]

I watch this video too much.

Or not enough, considering how awesome it is.

[thisisapreviewvideo]

splendid!

[thisisapreviewvideo]

is that petra hayden..?

[billyk23]

Why yes it is! :)

[kelzosaurus]

what a beautiful song =)

[whatsbeyond]

how i wish i wrote this song

[whoahawesome]

my thoughts exactly!

[TakeThePictureNow]

ahhh. memories....

[dber229]

i dont think there is a single song on the album clarity that doesnt give me goosebumps. amazing band. and possibly best album ive ever hear.

[manzilla86]

I agree 110%. Even though that is impossible. It's one of those albums you can turn on and just listen to it the whole way through. A real jem.

[cuddlebearjay]

The album is absolutly fantastic...and always will be. They are amazing musicians. They are one of the few that make music into art.

[heathirmudge]

they are still playing stuff off clarity 10 years later...they know how amazing that cd is.

[dber229]

seriously, it's such an amazing cd

[brunorez]

best band ever!

[AhojChester]

Jimmy Eat World is just the BEST !!!

[SVTristan]

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. All I can say.

[holmes5668]

I think thewy will end up being one of the biggest bands in the world eventually. They are taking a slowish route to the top, but I think the strength of their songs will be recognoised by the masses eventually

[Ramina576]

In my opinion, one of the most well-written songs of their career as a band. This song and "Just Watch The Fireworks" are just incredibly genious.  The harmonies flow so perfectly. Thanks for uploading this one!

[kidandres]

"If I don't let myself be happy now, then when? If not now, then when?" --> genious

[heresyourfuture]

jim adkins is god.

[phearak]

i think this live performance was @ Osterrocknacht - Rockpalast (2002)

[jefflikeusual20]

Does anyone know when this was recorded? I'm guessing its new. They have upped their game so much, its amazing! The cd version is such a beautiful song and they've really pulled it off live with the added keyboards and harmonies. They don't usually include those in that song live. Amazing...

[chaboinas]

very good song, very good¡¡¡¡¡

[fineserbian]

That is probably one of the best life performances I have ever seen. The sound and energy was awesome!

[garenlee]

awesome!!!!!

[KiwiCrisis]

The lead singer always really gets into it. Awesome.

[Stumoo]

Mad skills on the 3/4 arpeggio and singing at the same time.

That's really, really hard to do

[virga1]

thank god you posted this!

[whatsbeyond]

great!!!!!!!!!!!

great!!!!!!!!!!!

what else???

[thelongestgoodbye]

Clarity is a definitive album, one all should own.

[ShiniGamiSTi]

I'm getting 2 of there album even more when I can save enought. I already have it but it's the Pride of owning the Original Album that's to show how much respect. and LOVE for the Band.

[teachwiththespirit76]

I've listened to this over so many times and still love this song.

[ShiniGamiSTi]

Yup I have it on MY Space cause I could'nt find Sweetness. I got hooked on it since LOL very nice song.
