Say Anything - Tickle Me Red

[cinnvext]

...How the hell have I not heard this song before?

[daboomccch]

Max Bemis is the most under appreciated human.

[IhaveAnthropophobia]

Say Anything is probably one of my all time favorite bands - their music is so... beautiful. That's the only word I can think of right now to describe it. So how come some of their music isn't on iTunes? It makes me so sad!

[luckyxstar7]

@IhaveAnthropophobia MP3 converter!! D=

[deffcy54]

i paused tetris for this <3

[GRBPRO]

@deffcy54 impressive.

[DestanMad]

Why is Max so fucking god like?

[jesusnfriends21]

@DestanMad because god made him with jesus' DNA.

[violentvonnie]

Thebeautifulbemis.

[oXTheSkyIsFallingXo]

This is beautiful :)

[Acara476]

[luckyxstar7]

@Acara476 Use an MP3 converter and this video's link. =]

[shamanpha]

My alll time favorite, of all time<3

[didelee257]

[JarHead1318]

Classic.

[supak108]

@underscore808 thanks a lot

[supak108]

[kaiewedd]

@supak108 the internet.

[Bangggggggggggggggg]

With every fibre of my being; I want to bang Max Bemis.

[thegamemonster]

What album was this off of

[dhg734]

@thegamemonster It's from Favorite Gentlemen Records Sampler.

[IGoofyDI]

Fuck John Stamos. Max Bemis is the guy I'd go gay for.

[mindlessmiss1]

@IGoofyDI Fuck yes. Bemis is the shit <3

[tigergoalie]

I love it. Reminds me of the old Sayanything, which was, imo, the best of their music.

[TheChrisDahl]

@tigergoalie I almost agree fully.

[jstarownzmegrowl]

i love say anything reminds me of when me and my boyfriend were just friends 3 years ago

[tonyosburn95]

i love this song

[HotchieChan2]

AHHH Thank god for youtube. I'm discovering more and more Say Anything songs, after I was so convinced I'd scoured the internets for them all. I'm sooo happppyyyyy!

I feel like I KNOW Max, from all the words I've heard from him.

[FFQueen92]

I love pretty much everything by Say Anything...

Why can't I like this song? =( I love SA, but this song just doesn't do it for me.

[firehead129]

@FFQueen92 WHAT!? this is one of my favorites lol.

[FFQueen92]

@firehead129 I don't get it either =( I'm not sure why, but I can't get into it, and I'm insanely addicted to SA...

[firehead129]

@FFQueen92 D: keep trying! lol.

[ScarlettsFolklore]

@FFQueen92 Not to come off wrong, but you need to listen to it when you're under the influence of something, and then you'll truely understand. I'm at a place where I understand this song only cause I'm tripping balls, and it sounds magnificent.

[swordsgirl95]

I love say anything. They have beautiful songs and weird song names.

[drewbert1612]

someone make a good tab for this song please!

[McScreenName]

Am I the only one who thinks the guitar riff after "And I melt" is the the most beautiful thing ever played?

[kristennpls]

I think that line is one of the most beautiful things I've heard.

"I melt as your top lip wrinkles with wit so nimble."

[firehead129]

@McScreenName you are not alone.

[TheChrisDahl]

@McScreenName no sir you are not alone, not even close

[EACN11]

stop arguing about football teams that no one likes and listen to the damn music.

[tonyosburn95]

yeah, you should have said that you were a good example because you look like a "fool"

[swordsgirl95]

you can download it.

[kyle1125125]

i love all of the singles. no one knows about them and theyre just as, if not more, amazing as the albums.maxs old stuff is reeeeeally good. i like all choked up. most emotional song ive heard him sing. i forgot to put on a helmet, and it blew my mind

[Frozensquirrel]

"All Choked Up" is actually off of their first album Baseball, not just a single.

[kyle1125125]

really? i thought i had baseball... maybe i have menora majorah.... my friend had a cd of some of there old stuff. it wasnt titled so theres a chance that it could be anything

[madmaddie123456]

I aboslutly adore it. And Max.

[lordchamberlain]

is this song ever going to be re-recorded? or is it showing up the on the self-titled album under a different name by any chance? this song is so good. sooo good.

[passwordstrengthfuck]

i'm gonna be really pissed if this never shows up on a cd

[sk8in4god]

it wont. if you want a real download of it, message me and ill get it to you.

[IveGotWoe]

I've been desperately searching for means of getting this song.. help?

[kyledub213]

here is something that will change your life...if you have a hard time finding an mp3 for a song you have seen on youtube; just go to google type in "convert youtube video to mp3" and any of the first few results are sites that let you enter the video url and then it converts it to an mp3 for you to download. It takes a couple minutes but it's well worth it on hard to find songs like this. I just found this ability a couple weeks ago and it's a god send haha anyway im out of characters now. bye.

[Charadeur1]

I'm going to get thumbs down for this comment, but I don't care.

This is the first new song of theirs that I actually enjoyed enough to listen to again. Since "....Is A Real Boy" I'm not sure what happened, but they haven't been the same.

[amixofmany]

dude say anything is still amazing. i know where your coming from but just listen to all of their songs a few times. its gotta grow on you. In Defense of The Genre (the 2nd cd) is amazing

[Charadeur1]

I just can't get into it. I've tried, I really have but it just doesn't click. I mean there are a few songs on there that I think are amazing. The Church Channel is great as well as This is Fucking Extacy, but the rest just kind of seem there.....you know. Maybe I'm just crazy.

[madmaddie123456]

You're crazy.

[Charadeur1]

So I'm told......let's dance!

*techno plays*

[madmaddie123456]

YEAH-UH!

[Charadeur1]

Good answer....haha.

[sk8in4god]

try Goodbye young tutor, youve outgrown me. i absolutely love that song. the truth is you should lie with me and shiksa are good ones too.

[Charadeur1]

I have listened to them, "Goodbye Young Tutor" is good but I don't like the others very much. "That is Why" is pretty great. I'm not saying I hate the stuff off of "In Defense of the Genre." I'm just saying it seems to lack something the band had before.......I still love them and I'm still going to see them on the 26th. I just hope they play more from "....Is A Real Boy." Haha.

[sk8in4god]

yeah i love That Is Why. yeah i know what your saying, i definatly like ...Is A Real Boy a lot better than in defense. actually, i liked their older stuff even more than that.

i hope their new album is like ...Is A Real Boy.

[Charadeur1]

Agreed, haha.

[SuperDuperJesus]

In Defence of the Genre is filled with amazing songs... how can you not like About Falling? Spores? Plea? Died a Jew?

I love the album. Skinny, Mean Man was the first Say Anything song I ever heard.

[Charadeur1]

I like About Falling (The acoustic version is better), Spores is alright and I didn't really like Plea or Died a Jew.

The first song I heard was Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too. If you haven't listened to ".....Is A Real Boy" I highly recommend it. Even if you have, you should listen to Yellow Cat (Slash) Red Cat again. Tis a masterpiece.

[bnooney87]

Every song on that CD is a masterpiece.

[Charadeur1]

Agreed once more..haha

[Frozensquirrel]

You didn't like Plea? I see that as an epic masterpiece and one hell of an album ender.

[chalkeygas93]

Same, the song is epic and i love the line: "i dont know what id do if once more i lose you"

[Frozensquirrel]

And the ending duet part with Hayley Williams is the meaning of the word intense.

[firehead129]

@Frozensquirrel in defense is an amazing album. skinny mean man was the perfect opener, and plea was the perfect ending. :D

[tenaciousd6936]

The first I heard was woe.

[kyledub213]

agreed. the first few plays were a disappointment not that the songs aren't good like you said but they just aren't the same feeling. most of them have grown on me pretty well though

[Charadeur1]

Definatly.

Thanks for understanding..

I AM GOING TO SEE THEM MONDAY!!!!!!!

I AM GOING TO TOUCH MAX BEMIS!!

woo

[fddproductionss]

@Charadeur1 rip some of his hair out for me

[Charadeur1]

Oh believe me, I tried.

He (and they) were glorious.

[Jmo7308]

Omg this song is amazing I love say anything and this is the first time that I have heard this song, and I am totally blown away by it.

[qwertyfuck1]

very pedestrian...the words don't quite fit with the tempo of the music....

[Stormakov]

Yea, Bipolar does that to you. Laff

[qwertyfuck1]

i'm confused, are you calling me bipolar or them?

[Stormakov]

Max is Bipolar.

[passwordstrengthfuck]

max bemis is bipolar...thats what he's talking about

[ecrichtmyer]

wow..

[666616666]

I can't find this song =/

anyone know where I'll be able to get it?

[kaylynnvee]

zamzar man, google it. <3

works great.

[timbothewrastler]

One whole year!!!

[Hilexis]

in the picture where he's smoking he looks like clint eastwood

[jannaox]

i love say anything:)

legit best band ya know

max's voice makes my heart melt

[ScarlettsFolklore]

Agree.

[SimplePlan1220]

Actually this is a dorm room demo

One of a few that max and coby recorded in thier dorm. All the dorm room demos are great but this is my favorite one.

[dmhambro]

are you sure, im pretty sure this is not a dorm room demo

[A7Xshredster]

this was actually supposed to be on In Defense Of The Genre it's way too good of quality to be one of the dormroom demos anyways man

[currylover12345]

Actually this was recorded while touring for IDOTG for a Gnome records sampler.

[ecrichtmyer]

Making my eyes all heavy dude!

Masterpiece!!! But seriously... why the HELL is this on no album?!

I'm going to smack a record producer.

[HeroDanny]

lol :)

[XXJAYSINABANDXX]

oh god i would do anything for every say anything song and possibly a max bemis action figure with kung fu grip

[tom656]

also there is no space between sayanth and the / and dont download their songs that you can buy cos these guys are superb and really deserve the money!

[tom656]

like all say anything songs its avaliable to download on one of their forums... helios*cp-apollo*com/~sayanyth­/phpbb/viewtopic*php?t=1925 (replace * with .)

[klibbs]

i will do sexual favors for a download.

[xosomerr]

free youtube to MP3 converter! google it.

[klibbs]

dude, thanks!

[nosoup4u551]

this song has a jesse lacey (Brand New's singer) feel to it. its chill and the lyrics r so real

[wacko1992]

need download for the love of god

[Glasscherf]

Does anybody have a download link for this? I pretty much have every song, but this one.

[BLISScaptivity17]

we'd do a hundred sketchy things i swore i'd never GET to do.

this raw and emotional and shows love at a general level of simplicity

[ihave3pennies]

Confirmed

[ecrichtmyer]

Ok, yeah this is my favorite song by them ever.

Confirmed.

[guiLtIaFrE]

same!

[ecrichtmyer]

all the drugs in my lungs.

Dude this guy's a genius.

Few and far between.

[ihave3pennies]

max is fucking win..

[guiLtIaFrE]

dude max is awesome(and the band).

hes just so deep when he writes, everything reflects his life..its just so real

[tom656]

looks like this isn't going to be on the new album. anybody as gutted as me about that?

[guiLtIaFrE]

yes-so much

[jonnybking61]

This is beautiful. Max is honestly one of this generations best artists. The music and its symbiotic relationship with the music. It's just such a great chilled song.

ahhhh

[Scoonie77]

Is this song definitely going to be on the new record? They just showed the track listing on their new studio journal and this "Tickle Me Red" wasn't listed.

[toymachinesk83r]

its a demo the album is called favorite gnome at least its what my windows media play said max passed out codes for download at a show last year

[paarik]

That's a shame! Cos I really love this song...

[Warrior54]

I love how you guys had my comment deleted. Even though I'm a huge Say Anything fan I guess I'm not allowed to give my thoughts on a song unless I'm gushing over it. I see how it is. Thanks for being open-minded, really appreciate it.

[HkCwheat]

i agree with this. However i dont think there needs to be sarcasm

[Warrior54]

Sorry man. I'm just getting a bit frustrated with comments being deleted constantly by rabid fans who can't seem to accept difference in opinion. I think it's a dumb feature.

Either way, now that Max Bemis apparently agreed with ME (song's not going on their CD) hopefully those who found my criticism of its lyrics to be "offensive" feel pretty silly right about now.

[kaymal]

i think this is one of his best works lyrically personally.

[Warrior54]

The lyrics have some flow issues. "all the drugs I can fit in my lungs couldn't...fuck me up half as hard as the under-stated one."

"Make a remark about my size, trading starry eyes?"

Eh....

Needs a bit of work. I usually really like Max's lyrics so I'm assuming he'll tighten this up if this is going on Say Anything's next. I agree that it's a great song musically.

[ratehim]

He said, during a show he played at Chain Reaction, that he would play his older stuff someday, just not today.

[Dokuganryu]

I'm just glad to find out that I'm not the only that has an insane love for his voice. I can't wait for the new cd later in the year.

[Warrior54]

The lyrics need some MAJOR work but it's amazing for what's obviously an "early draft," and I can't wait to see if they do anything with it.

[TheDamnonly1]

The lyrics are well written the way they are. Whats wrong with them? It seems like a great song to me..

[jaroddeanbarber]

i wish to live in the back of max's throat, so i could hear every tone he releases.

[kaymal]

is this going to be on the new cd?

[kMason221]

google 'b sides r us' and you can download all of the old say anything songs on there site. or go google youtube downloader and just use that. but if you know anything about max bemis then youd understand why he doesnt like to play them anymore.

[FauxFetus]

i would sell my soul for max.

[oxokatiekoxo]

i would sell my soul for max as well.hes the most brilliant man ever conceived.

[xXpOpsiclesXx]

indeed he is<3

[nerdtasticaldes]

My chest caves in when he says

"and I melt..."

Ahhhhhh. Max Bemis is a god. Haha.

[pottyputter]

though i loved is a real boy max's music is growing and maturing, just gatta open urself to the evolution of an amazing artist

[fish231uk]

Oh how I miss '...is a real boy'.

[RachelRondezvous]

Can anyone send me the lyrics for this song??

[emoxsex911]

This song always makes me feel nostalgic. =/

[LDskye]

It definitely seems like its about sherri especially when he says "wish to god i could have met you as a younger one" shows when he was younger it would have helped him a lot to have someone like her. just my take on it

[hushthesky]

this song blows me away, i don't want to come off as someone who just says everything max does is golden...but it truly is...

[ninjasmex]

bleh idk why but i cried after hearing this song. its a really good one and i love how his voice so unique and his lyrics talk about things some bands always talk about(Like happy rainbows and flowers) Hes actully one of the few people who are famous but you feel like their a real person, you can relate to him. i love say anything!

[LDskye]

definitely like this new song. probably my favorite so far. kinda reminds me of Drug Dealer by Anthony Green

[shadowelite141]

yeah same here

[TheDamnonly1]

Why are most of the new ones acoustic? I like when the drums kick in, but then again, acoustic shows how great his voice is. Forget i said anything...

[Odsplut91]

Lol.

Im sure they will have guitars and drums and the whole sha-bang. About falling was first heard as acoustic and so was Alive.

So dont give up ;P

I personally love both. Meh, if it has Max in it, it cant be bad.

[TheDamnonly1]

About Falling should have been a single. Its a really great song.

And i cant imagine this song with drums and guitars.

This song is great nonetheless

[shadowelite141]

yea. about falling was definitely one of my favorites of the newest album.

[Jrob420420]

song about sherri? early relationship hmm?

[xsh3ldonxppc]

where can i get this and ahh men for my ipod (already tried mininova, isohunt, & pirate bay) i mean i downloaded their entier old stuff from pirate bay and sappy and thought on a liberal education weren't on it.

[xsh3ldonxppc]

i think its cute that i get thumb down for saying i downloaded their old stuff, yet i bought their two cd's and vinyl that i could buy and those that gave me thumbs down probably didn't buy any of their shit.

[krusader17]

its pretty retarded. the youtube community isnt very smart lol. downloading their old stuff is pretty much the only way to get ahold of it since it isnt on Itunes and the few copies of their CDs that they made are going for big money on ebay.

[emoxsex911]

I know right? O_O

Its so fucking hard to get any of their old stuff nowadays. Plus its cheaper to download songs.

So fuck off thumbsdown prejudice community of youtube.

[fullmetallegend]

Max Bemis is the man if there ever was one.

[Chigwinkle]

reminds me of 'Goodbye young Tutor, youve now outgrown me'

[mementose7en]

this song sounds like it has some potential to be pretty good on cd but is blown away by ahh men especially the end of ahh men

[grasscob]

Max bemis Is too intense.

Words cant describe how much Love I have for him and his music..

Genius.

[kelsoh7]

dose any one know, or could guess, the significance of "one whole year"?

(woot! my comment got +7) ^_^

[heartWDM27]

his girlfriend/fiance and him have been together for "one whole year"

I think this song is about her if its new. [[: but yea, thats the signifigance.

Im happy for him.

[kelsoh7]

I...Its...wow

so beautiful words cannot describe...

[sheldubbs]

love this song.

[TheDamnonly1]

Best song ever..

[skaterkid4110]

i love this song so much its not enev funny

[Odsplut91]

Amen to that.

[johnbarbera123]

Ahh Men To that.

[thewayside0]

reminds me of songs like Thoughts On A Liberal Education and Spores. I'm a sucker for Max's really airey, chill songs, they show off his true musicianship. What an inspiration.

[Odsplut91]

Wow.

Just Wow.

Now that WILL shut up all the "Theyve gone mainstream" idiots.

[bosrsoxws0407]

so does anyone have an idea as to when the new album is due out

[devinraj1017]

I'm guessing this January.

[Pycell]

could anyone send me this song for real?

[chewnicka]

So is this an upcoming song after IDOTG? cuz Ahh, Men is acoustic (yeah it was an acoustic show but that's why i'm askin.) ???

[paulSA19]

Ahh-Men is gonna be in their new album which i believe is called "this is forever" and i think tickle me red is some sort of demo that they wrote while being on the road

[chives222]

howd you get this song?

[jiarb]

They passed out these download cards during their tour with Manchester Orchestra.
