lyrical genius. I don't think there's a better voice, or even lyricist in the world. The metaphors, and the way he words things so subtly, its amazing. Jesse Lacey is amazing. I also love how every song is full of emotion and meaning, but there's one deeper song than everything else on every album. This on YFW, Sic Transit on DE, Jesus Christ on TDAGARIM, and Vices on Daisy. <3
I meet Jesse alone in Sydney Airport, I ran into him. I asked if his name was Jesse by any chance, he stuck his hand out to shake mine. It was a moment in my life where I was just shaking. We talked for 10 minutes, and he asked if I was going to tonights show. I said "Aw, I wish man". He put me on the guest list. I have been smiling ever since, even months later.
The truth is that Brand New is art. And, every artist deserves to have their art admired and appreciated. I'd be forever proud if my favorite band became so popular, especially if I had been a fan for so many years. And, yes, Brand New has been my favorite for years stacked upon years.
This is probably my favorite song off of Your Favorite Weapon... It just has the most emotion on that album in my opinion
Sounds like they might not release anything after Daisy... I really hope they do though. I don't think Brand New realizes how much their music gets me through. Best band.
i love all of Brand News lyrics. Sometimes i dont like the song because its either too slow or not my tune, but i love their lyrics. theyre so poetic.
I have to admit, I really didn't like them at first, but my friend was a fan, which made me hear a lot of their music, then he saw them live which made me hear even more... And they're starting to grow on me...
ive seen them thrice and met jesse twice, i have an autographed skateboard which he signed after he told me i was a savy girl skater :) then i gave him a hug. i feel like a little girl saying this. im 24. but this song is amazing and one of my favorites :)
Best Brand New song, when i heard it for the first time i didnt even believe it was them lol. This song is so different from what they usually play and its perfect. Just wish it would keep goin forever :)
I know what it's like to have someone you love and you tell them and they act like it doesn't even hit them... Love can be crappy no doubt... But it can also be life changing
"It's only you beautiful, or i don't want anyone, if i can choose, its only you." i like those lyrics, because there's someone i love, and its only her.
i'm the same god damned way bro. this girl natalie, i've loved her since i first met her, and i told her how i feel and everything and that i love her, and she still doesn't like me. it's been 3 years, i still love her
as far as i remember emo music began to exists in the late 90s and before this stupid label it was soft rock or ballad rock or emotional rock,so 4 me is just rock and rock is going to be.
They just released Daisy in September. It's a very interesting album....and it has mixed reviews, but I love it purely because of the lyrics. If you're a true fan of Brand New, I'm sure it will grow on you very quickly.
agreed i liked Brand new since your favorite weaponand they still my favorite band, and now everyone likes them, but i'd rather everyone listen the lyrical gold mine that is brand new than shit like weezer, if more people suddenly decide to have really good tatse in music i'm all for it
I hate the term bandwagon, who is anyone to say that people cant listen to a band because they are not mainstream. Great music should be enjoyed by everyone.
@alicexrequiem Sorry to say you're late but in 2003 they were huge in many groups. It wasn't rare to find a fan of Brand New. FYI, if MTV was playing a music video (like they were for Quiet Things No one Ever Knows) that means you've already established yourself.
Respond to this videoThey are being bandwagoned? Had no idea. They have always been very popular on a large scale, but on the downlow. Being a committed Brand New fan was like being part of a secret fight club. Brand New is like second nature to me, I've been listening to them for so long, they are the one band that I can listen to over and over again for years and years and not get tired of them. Much like.. the bible. Which I've never read, but I hear it's a smash hit....
@alicexrequiem Yeah everyone is following in your colossal foot steps. Shut up, a band can't get huge without having a small initial following. You were a part of that small initial following, and you probably perpetuated their popularity by showing all of your friends. Which gives you no room to bitch you little hipster shit xD
listening to this stoned, best thing ever for those cold early mornings, when your just thinking about that dirty bitch that broke your fucking heart, underrated bands like this are the best, i hate when bands like this dont get the recognition they deserve, but it seems like the handfull of people who actually understand this music are true geniouses when it comes to expressing raw emotion.
This song basically changed my life last night. I told the girl I liked that this song reminded me of her, and after an hour I was going out with her. But friendship got in the way and it's all up in the air. This song is all I've got of her now.
when i first listeneed to brand new i was into their more alternative sounding songs, cause i was like, 11... but now i see how frickin beautiful this song is, slong with numerous others of their acoustic-ish songs.
OMG!!! Spev858........ like... you leave me speechless my friend... I am exacty.... exactly the same way.. oh man!!! hahaha, i was just thinking that when i read your comment... Its like everything slows down, and i find myself looking at my life... and like what is going on around me...
Dude.... that just made my day:) im not the only person that feels this way!!!:]
everytime i listen to brand new i stop and relieze the world around me, just slows down time makes i dunno hard to explain i guess, there the best by far
same here. its like everything else is just frozen, its just me & the words & music & nothing in the world matters anymore, it becomes a part of you, it gives you goosebumps man. i love it. & you for saying that.
i agree. Soxchik57 , you are 100% correct in my opinion as well. Especially with the Nirvana statement.Nirvana is one of my favorite bands , but their lyrics are "emo" but there is a DIFFERENCE in HOW you express it. Hence genre. Still , music is suppose to relate to emotion"emo". So there for i do not see what the point of arguing is. Besides looking like a bunch of immature kids.
soxchik57, I think you've really hit the nail on the head. Brand New is just incredible.
Hey, just a side thought: people who are huge fans of Brand New would probably like The Early November as well. I think they're pretty awesome, check them out.
what is it with all you people having an "emo" definition fight? Its crazy, in my opinion. Listen to Nirvana, the Smashing Pumpkins, etc- those lyrics, etc. are dark, painfull & contemplative...are they concidered "emo"? The (newer) meaing of emo is emotional, and really what is music, or art in general, without emotion? I agree some people take it too far & treat it more as a lifestyle, but you can't paint everyone with the same brush. Besides, Brand New surpassed the "emo" lable years ago...
I'd like to clarify a few things, and add a nice little bit here:
First, calling someone "emo" shouldn't be an insult. "emo" is nothing more than an abbreviation for the word "emotional", and what's so wrong with that? It's society that's changed the meaning of the word, and now it's automatically taken as an insult.
And secondly, I'm extremely excited! I'm going to see Brand New on this coming Thursday, I'm psyched! I love them so much, and they're finally coming around here to play, woo!
emo in music actually is short for "emotive" but the meaning has changed in the 2000's. a real emo band is like Sunny Day Real Estate. not that this matters, Brand New is my favorite band. Just clarifiying
emo is just another word for seen. just everyone knows the word emo more than seen.
and because of what some people say some emo's are, like you are basically saying yourself, nearly all emos get upset when they are called emos, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE EMOS because they class themselves emos...
basically people that dont like being called emo but dress emo, moan because they are just attention seeking.
dont assume that emo is an insult, cuz its not, it just has some bad things associated with it
kinda like black ppl
doesnt mean they shouldnt call themselves black just because of steriotypes other ppl give them, i mean come on, stand up for shit you believe in dont believe in stereotypes other people try to give to emo
I agree with your first sentence, but... you're comparing centuries of racial prejudice to a few teenagers getting insulted because of what they wear? Sort your priorities out.

The (newer) meaing of emo is emotional, and really what is music, or art in general, without emotion? I agree some people take it too far & treat it more as a lifestyle, but you can't paint everyone with the same brush. Besides, Brand New surpassed the "emo" lable years ago...

I'd like to clarify a few things, and add a nice little bit here:
First, calling someone "emo" shouldn't be an insult. "emo" is nothing more than an abbreviation for the word "emotional", and what's so wrong with that? It's society that's changed the meaning of the word, and now it's automatically taken as an insult.
And secondly, I'm extremely excited! I'm going to see Brand New on this coming Thursday, I'm psyched! I love them so much, and they're finally coming around here to play, woo!

ahhh a few of my friends are going to the providence show! i'm seeing them for the first time at the webster on friday, so i'm prettyyyy excited

Yeah, I'm totally ecstatic man, it's going to be an amazing show. I can't wait.
What sucks though, is that my tickets are pretty crappy. They're in the upper section, and in like Row J, they're horrific.
I'm searching craigslist to find some cheap floor tickets lol, I don't care about the price, Brand New is worth it, haha.
I hope you enjoy their show, and I'll definitely make a post back and let you all know how it went! WOO!

emo in music actually is short for "emotive" but the meaning has changed in the 2000's. a real emo band is like Sunny Day Real Estate. not that this matters, Brand New is my favorite band. Just clarifiying

Amazing song! Anything by Brand New is amazing though right?

stop talking about "emo this emo that" no one cares. brand new is not emo, and that is an insult. it's an amazing song, just let it be.

i agree but emo isnt an insult is it itz just a label
PiRocks777 2 years ago
actually it is an insult.
usually emo means people who cut, hate the world, are depressed all the time are freaks, right?
so if you call somebody emo, you're insulting them.
im 'labeled' emo at my school and i hate it
just cause of the way i dress.
people always ask if i cut
labels are offensive themsevles
and this song is amazing. its not 'emo'

hmm.. i dont believe that...
emo is just another word for seen. just everyone knows the word emo more than seen.
and because of what some people say some emo's are, like you are basically saying yourself, nearly all emos get upset when they are called emos, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE EMOS because they class themselves emos...
basically people that dont like being called emo but dress emo, moan because they are just attention seeking.

dont assume that emo is an insult, cuz its not, it just has some bad things associated with it
kinda like black ppl
doesnt mean they shouldnt call themselves black just because of steriotypes other ppl give them, i mean come on, stand up for shit you believe in dont believe in stereotypes other people try to give to emo

I agree with your first sentence, but... you're comparing centuries of racial prejudice to a few teenagers getting insulted because of what they wear? Sort your priorities out.
