Honestly? (American Football)

[27theassman]

the last jam part is rocking. the bass line probably worth learning

[willd588]

Good hit

[Mr6274266]

this is love

[heavenseventween]

This song haunts me i cant download it anywhere

[doc998]

@heavenseventween check mediafire and music blogs!

[noobz0r]

:'( i love this album so much

[colynnfr]

:')

[jakethesnake620]

it's incredible to listen to this and an old death cab record back to back and see JUST how similar the sounds are. American Football should have stuck together, they deserve so much for making such beautiful music.

[Ynell]

Incase you don't know..

listen to Owen

it's the same lead guy but its much more chill and accoustic-esque.. and I'm PRETTY SURE, that Owen is still together.

[shizzle31]

umm well it's mike kinsella, alone by himself, and yes he just relased a c.d "New Leaves" in Sept. of 09'..mmk

[Christiantodd1]

Don't forget about you're mom.

[SpiritofVersaille]

This vid is locked @ 71 comments now xD. Great song, vid, meh.

[fragglydaggly]

This video no longer has 69 comments. btw great song

[MegalonsRevenge]

i call it like, mathy emo. i mean, its not really that important. i just like genres so so my itunes is more organized haha.

[hellraiserheights]

I second that Itunes part.

[mahavishnu]

P.S: The Smiths lyrics are sooooo "emo". Morrissey's ideology is based on emo thoughts. So... what's the fuckin' problem?

[mahavishnu]

This is the first song by American Football I heard. The first impression was definitive... I just thought "What the hell? This is amazing! This is so melancholic and nostalgic!" Despite I didn't get the meaning of the lyrics at the first time (beacuse i'm not a native english speaker and I have certain problems with the "listening"), the music just caught me forever... and ever. Now, I got it... this video explains perfectly the song's ideas and feelings.

Long live American Football!

[bbeaup]

great video man. Probably very nostalgic for you.

[EekZombies]

Brings back so many memories.. man we grew up some great music in highschool..

[CavaliarEternal]

The comments going on here are beyond stupidity. It's music. Who cares if it's 90's post-grunge derived from the odd and ends of 80's emo and early 90's indie but also contains influences of early hair metal or if it's DOOM, etc.

SHUT THE FUCK UP ALL OF YOU.

[mcjumic]

@CavaliarEternal hehe... welcome to YouTube! Nothing ruins a geat song like a stupid comment.

[rebelosing]

@CavaliarEternal The only point of genre labels is to find bands that sound similar. In the case of American Football, the labels are useless because American Football is totally original, and even if you found something similar, it would be as good.

[mbfordosporto]

it's math rock! get it right, damn you!

[bryanraubenolt]

funny you say that, im actually doing calculus right now

[robs70986987]

just got this cd

its amazing

[HarrySackthatsme]

great.

[sonnyjimsonnjim]

this aint emo. emos been going round since the late 70s. this is just another dereritive from the grunge scene in the mid 90s. alt indie.

[zathorg]

Emo is essentially alt indie, lol. And emo has been going on since the late 70's.

[zathorg]

mid 80's*** not late 70's***

[sonnyjimsonnjim]

i know. emo isnt alt indie though.

[anarchy541]

LMFAO!!! You seriously think that EMO began in the late 70's?!?! bahahaha!! i never heard of anything so foolish! i think you mean late 80'S, my friend.

[bloodofredemptionlol]

american football is great :D

[MicDollaBIll]

this reminds me of built to spill

[starlasstars]

But The, "Why's are unclear".

[94peace94]

see, this little island called UK invent a game, and now its the most popular sport in the world. but when this rebel colony try to invent a game, nobody gives a sh1t

lmao only USA could call something a WORLD series and not invite the world

[xJakex77]

the chinese army invented it actually.

[Pezmiester]

hahahaha

[soSUBURBIA]

Sigh. The limeys just can't help themselves. They'll troll anything. So sad.

[Iwearstripythings]

'troll' anything? this limey doesnt understand??? do you mean 'troll' anything as opposed to bomb anything, shoot anything, invade anything or be ignorant about pretty much everything?? the WORLD knows the lovely americans just cant help themselves there, so sad. x's

[soSUBURBIA]

Sigh. You're so fucking ignorant. Go away, limey.

[fol2005]

It's not our fault your ancestors didn't get on the boat.

We have more fun in American. More laid back : )

Everyone in the UK is too concerned with the U.S. They should sit down and have a beer and try smiling.

[gloomyoutlook]

LIME POWERRRR!!!

[fol2005]

You know rice is the most popular food in the world.

Does that mean its the best or just the cheapest to create? Don't you think there is a reason 3rd world countries don't play American Football and Hockey , but DO play soccer?

[Nancycarigen]

I have no way of typing any compliments without sounding like a twelve year old or just an ignorant fool so fuck it, great video and song. I only wish you would put more AF (maybe anything from The Good Life wich i find just as good)

[172superman172]

cn see that they mustve played a massive paart in ttng's songwriting

[charlieenders]

love this, and cap'n jazz, and Tera Melos.

[ilaughindooors]

this song is so repetitive, but it never gets old. ever. sweet video.

[payasoxsk8]

beautiful (:

[Sandysaurus143]

love uuuu!!!!!!!!!

[EGodsgal]

one of my favorite songs.

i love them.

[kessycheri]

WHY WHY WHY, did these guys only make one album together. Such beautiful music.

[derf234]

thats such a good question, so many emo bands were like that, cap'n jazz, saetia... its really a shame because now people think my chemical romance is emo and thats bullshit

[Makeo984]

yes...it's really...nostalgic emo...

[donewellisbetter]

this song is pure nostalgia. pure fucking nostalgia.

[kyrahbrand]

great great greaaaat song.

and your video edition totaly fitted the music.

[notyoursavior78]

I love the beginning of the song. Awesome video too. Very well done!

[mumbo2jumbo55]

i was just wondering where you grew up or where u filmed this video

[davekee15]

This was shot in my hometown of Flagstaff, Arizona. Circa 2001ish.

[Sandysaurus143]

dude i love u guys, u have concerts aroud Massachusettes?

[guitarplayingcat]

Bad news man. American football... the best band EVER... are not together. They mainly focused on the recording studio and than ended up going their different ways.

[davekee15]

Sadly American Football is no longer together. But if you like them then you should check out the other bands that Mike Kensella is involved with. His solo act called OWEN is just as good. So is his brother's band JOAN OF ARC, which he also plays drums in. Other projects by these guys include THE ONE UP DOWNSTAIRS ,THE OWLS, CAP'N JAZZ, and GHOSTS AND VODKA. All just as good and all have some member from American Football.

[eatdogs]

good job with this. when fans contribute to the memory of good bands such as AF, their legacy lives on.

[mumbo2jumbo55]

i found this CD years ago in a used music store, for like $5

[Pezmiester]

buying it was one of the best things you've ever done

[PaintballRush222]

@mumbo2jumbo55 after reading this comment i franticly searched any store near my house that had used Cd's. didn't find a thing.

[mahavishnu]

@mumbo2jumbo55 Really? I got it imported last year in a CD store (in Mexico City) for over 21 bucks! too expensive... but ir it really worth it!

[StuntWorkz]

late 90's is end of good punk!

[starlasstars]

erie, beautiful genious, this song and the film editing for these particular clips,just as beautiful, who are these people??? starla

[mumbo2jumbo55]

wow this is great

i loved American football for years but and at first i thought this was an offical video

[razorriotsredriot]

ahhhh...i heart american football. :)

the cd this song is on is so,so awesome for rideing my bike home from work.its beautiful. and its what i listened to on the greyhound bus to the west coast,2 yrs ago when i moved here,everytime i hear it i think of looking out the window at the midwest,watching the mountains and stuff go by.love it!

[Cunt03]

i love it so much. went to buy their album yesterday and found it discontinued, any suggestions of where i can purchase this beautiful music??

[firsttooth]

you were in af? never heard of your band until today, was in town (dublin) this morning and your album was playing in a cafe there, really loved it; the waitress got in trouble for taking out the cd to check the title for me. it was playing 'you know i should be leaving soon'... class, thanks.

[GlenEchoPark]
