I like Goodbye, Sky Harbor and all, but if there's one song from the Jimmy Eat World discography I would move to a different album, I would throw this one on as the closer for Clarity. Futures was a fine album, but Clarity is one of the truly vintage recordings of the past 20 years in any musical capacity; this song always seemed to belong more to that album. But I'm just a goofball.
i haven't cried for over a year. yesterday one of my newer but most dear friends told me about something horrible that happened to her three years ago. however long ago it happened, i guess it was just too incomprehensible to me that something so awful could have happened to her, and that kinda pushed me over my limit. so i broke down. i had trouble letting the tears come until i heard this song. it's so... cathartic, and it really helped me feel a lot better.
But it does make me wonder....if not caring about others destroys society.
Like if we continue to live according to the lies posed by the elites submitting to the slavery servatude, would we not become robots and eventually die out?
I also ask myself what happens when ppl share the same problem?
If someone does something destructive, their seen as assholes, but is it not YOUR problem? "No man = no problem" - Stalin
Either ppl liked the quote, b/c they see it as true to society, or they see it as true from their perspective or both. I prefer the later, b/c if it is seen from society's perspective, we are in grave danger of killing ourselves or letting someone kill ourselves, when we have the strength to live on.
A Win Loose(at least I'm better then you), Loose win(eh its ok I'll do this instead), or Loose Loose(if I don't win- I'm taking u down w/ me) situation is still Loosing.

@PutrescentSoul Nah, that's not all, If I knew how to post comments on your channel I'd fucking tell you ALOT more. Like how you're actually a fat dude, so the period comment was a joke.
This song is so beautiful...one of, if not the, most beautiful songs I've ever heard. There's such a calming aspect to it, while having such a real and true message at the same time.
There's something about this whole album that's simply amazing, and it all comes to a close with this beautiful song, fading out slowly...
I think this song can be difficult to understand because its almost about two different thin gs that link in to be the same!! On one side its kinda a love song and on the other its about making life your own and not holding back but I think overall its about both, that you shouldnt wait around for anything be it life or a person, you should go after want you want and be happy :) xx
thanks for putting this up, such an amazing song. how did u get it past the youtube copyright thing? cuz i tried uploading it once and it kept muting the volume
I only discovered this band like two months ago, this is definately my favourite song, although i still have no idea what its about.. guess i'll have to wait till im 23?
they're talking about how you shouldnt wait for life to happen by itself. Sometimes its better take hold of it and claim it yours, your little patch of land. ;)
haven't heard this song in a while, the last time i listened to it,i was about 13, and loved it...but didn't have a clue what it was on about. and now listening to it again after years and years, im listening to it, and can fully understand it, and love it even more.<3
does anybody have the interview where jimmy eat world talk about when they played "23" at a gig and somebody proposed to their girlfriend and all of the crowd moved away to let them dance to it. i think i saw it on buzznet a while ago
One of those songs you can listen to while watching the stars and just think about stuff
