This song is the crowning achievement of this album. I think, out of all of them, this one comes to closes to Max's true musicianship. Simple, abrasive, honest, poetic, beautiful.
Max Bemis is my favorite musician in the world! I've been a fan since... as long as i can remember. I know the lyrics to every single song and he has been a HUGE inspiration on my life. Feel free to check out the songs that ive created under my videos and pleaseee tell me what you think :) It's my first time sharing my music with anyone so we'll see how this goes xD

God is love. Love is God. Weather you people see it or not is your choice. This song really shows the Lords ability to change people's hearts. I mean even look at it compared to every CD, all his other CD's he's in a general "i'm pissed at everything mood" While this CD he pours his heart and love out. God is SO good :DD
truly their best CD yet. I'm excited to see what God's got planned for him next.
@katty81690 Mhm. He said that the next album is going to be stripped down and targeted towards ...Is A Real Boy/...Was A Real Boy fans. I'm excited. :)
@labelbuddy Yeah bro, you're totally right, there's nothing angry or negative about this album. "I want death, death in the worst way." "I hate everyone, upon this cursed Earth." :o
I've noticed most of their songs are about the Holocaust... But for the record reading these comments Max converted to Christianity... Not that big a deal, so it's whatever dudes
So I'm pretty sure I've added so many views to each and everyone of these Say Anything songs and I wanted to thank you for that! I listen to all of these all the time. Keep up the good work and don't let some of these douchbags get you down with their thoughts and their ignorant comments! Good job
Pretty much, your awesome Katty. I'm pretty sure I've added alot of views to all of these videos. Thank you so much for these. Keep it up and don't let these douchbags get you down
lol katty. you're the rudest person ive ever seen on youtube, and you sit there and wonder why people give you shit for not noticing the most obvious title of any song that say anything has. but you claim to be a huge fan, and bash everyone else for liking the new album, and you assume they're bandwagon jumpers. But please. be nice to katty because shes so nice to everyone else.(sarcasm) cause i know you probably dont understand. Hippo-crite.
for theater we had to pick a poem or song lyrics to memorize and present ot the class...i used the words to this song and everyone was like "ew...are they like, some hardcore screamo band? this is so emo." FUCK I HATE MY SCHOOL
yeah katty you sound religious haha hypocrite. people have the right to believe what they wanna believe and i respect that. that INCLUDES choosing not to believe in the whole divine creation thing. you should start respecting this too because what you believe may completely not have happened. This is why they call it FAITH and not TRUTH. no one knows the truth and the quicker you figure this point out the better off you'll be
was it released in march or november last year?...cos I thought it was november but if youre american that would make sense,like,it would be the oppsite way round
@TheWentzMachine i wasnt trying to reply to anyone, i meant part of the lyrics of this song version arent what he originally performed. he changed it for the album, porbably bc hes over the whole "Jesus Died a Jew" thing..and to not offend christians. ...look it up
trust me, ive done my research on bemis and ive been a fan loong before they got big.
ir youre curious, the lyric im talking about is where they changed "ive read the holy books, lord knows THEY bite" to "ive read the holy books, lord knows WE bite" ..laame.
This is such a beautiful song. I nearly cried when I first heard it.. especially when Max starts singing; "Can I lie with you in your grave..." Max is a brilliant writer and musician. His singing and his lyrics are filled with so much emotion, passion, and integrity. The creativity in the metaphors just blow me away. This song is so lovely and sweet. Wonderful.
he was born and raised jewish... he isn't a practicing jew. he's said this. like a few years ago. all it was to him was tradition i don't know anything about that changed since that statement.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah it is, but this is just relative to in defense of the genre, which was quite possibly the shittiest album ever. this album? way too poppy.. His first album was full of beautiful anthems of sex, drugs, and being free. this album? poppy anthems of having crushes, dying, and whining about doing better.... oh how the mighty have fallen. Is a real boy quite possibly was one of the best emo albums of all time.
You don't think "In The Defense of the Genre" was good enought??
That's the album that's the maker of "This is Fucking Ecstasy," "Retarded In Love," "Surgically Removing The Tracking Device," and "The Church Channel" <--- great songs might I add.
They did a wonderful job on some of the songs for that album.
"The Truth is, You Should Lie With Me" is another great song.
"We Killed It"??
"Plea"??
I don't think you took the time to appreciate it. :)
@ toony: i personally didn't enjoy IDOTG that much, granted the songs you listed are pretty decent thats just 7 songs out of 27! they could have done better
It's called evolution, people's views change,they grow. It's what makes him an artist, growth. And if you look at it the way you put it, you can really see the growth. Sex, drugs, and being free, to falling in love, (i.e., in defense.) To crushes dying and whining about doing better, or to put it in perspective, realizing his mortality, knowing that he could have donebetter, and feeling the regret for it.. I'm not saying thats what all the albums mean exactly, but you could look at it like that.
Ooh really, he's Christian? Where'd you hear that?? I thought they were all Jewish hah that was all me assuming... but Max sings a lot about Judaism. And the band all met at Jewish camp!! :o
His views obviously shine through his lyrics, it doesn't mean the band is "religious" though (I'm agreeing with you here Katty).
he was born jewish but he conformed to christianity a few years ago i think. i don't really think he's putting a label of religion on himself, though.
Actually he met his band members in college. He makes jewish references because of his jewish background. He himself never was in the jewish religion. He wen't from a christian to an atheist, and then back to a christian.
I just found out they came to new orleans and I MISSED THEM. arrrrgh! and eisley was performing with them. It was a sad day. when the hell are they going to go back into the deep friggin' south?
bands get most of their money from touring, though. say anything used to tour a lot but my guess is the reason why they haven't been is because of recording and whatnot
I belted this out when I saw Max's show last Febuary <3
