Many of u are confused with the song meaning, This song, There's no I in team" is about John Nolan being rejected in joining his favorite junior league baseball team. His friend Jesse Lacey (on the team) promised John the spot, but in fear of him showing his true talent and exceeding his friend, Lacey planted steroids in Johns urine, forcing John to be kicked off the team. Hence the title, There is no I in team. The more you know!
It is actually about the lead vocalist from The Starting Line getting with Jesse Lacey's girlfriend. TBS and Brand New actually worked together on this because they were all friends with the singer from TSL until he fucked Jesse over. That is why it has the same lyrics " subtle as a brick". YOUR WELCOME peeps.
@daguard101 If i remember correctly it's about John Nolan (TBS guitarist) sleeping with Jesse Lacey's (Brand New) then girlfriend. Listent to 70x7 by BN
Seven Times Seven -> There's No I In Team -> Okay I Believe You. Hmm. I think There's No I In Team is a stupid song, but If all that bullcrap didn't happen, we wouldn't have one of the best songs ever written - Okay I Believe You. So, thanks, but eff you, John. Baha.
Jesse's girl cheated on him with John. Jesse was life "Screw you John". John was like fine, but then missed his friend. This song, is a plea of forgiveness, but also a middle finger.
Jesse responded to this in Deja entendu''s 'Okay I believe you but my tommy gun don't"
he says "these are the words you wish you wrote down, this is the way that you wish your voice sounds" fuck adam fuck john they suck. all though jesse was down with Jon when he left for straylight because adam went after jons sister. however jon has recently rejoined tbs
Well adam cheated on jesse. Jesse was unhappy with it. Adam cried about it and bitched. cuz hes a bitch. and was pissed cuz his best friend wasn't happy he cheated on him.
the whole feud was a bit ridiculous imho, but the order was...seventy times 7...there's no i in team...mix tape...timberwolves of new jersey...the shower scene...like i said, kinda ridiculous, but lots of good songs coming outta that heartache...
Well, this song IS a response to a couple of Brand New songs. So, of course it's going to reference them. Don't you quote things that you're responding to?
They took those lines on purpose. TBS and Brand New were connected, especially on this album. Jesse Lacey from Brand New said "Is that what you call tact...etc" to John Nolan (who was in TBS for this album) after John slept with his girlfriend. Then they each put it in a song. So it really wasn't stealing. Seventy Times 7 is about John and this song is about Jesse.
i love how thats not even what happened. they were repeating what jesse lacey had said in his song before to mock him basically, thats not stealing, thats just a way of sticking the lyrical finger at him
"Everything i know about breaking hearts, I learned from you, it's true. I've never done it with the style and grace you have.." So true. Love this song, still painfull though
i love brand news version way more i also saw tbs on monday with asher roth and blink 182 awesome shoe but still i like brand news version more by far lol
this songg is soo amazingg...i still like cute without the "e" better! it's a more emo kinda song which i'm not that crzy about.. but i like it anywayy...nothing against emo pple...
m really sorry, but these things freak me out sooo much! dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn this dnt stp this is so scary snd ths ovr 2 5 vids in 143 mins when ur done press f6 nd ur crush's name wll appear on the screen n big letters ths is so scary cuz it actully wrks ths really wrks
I dont wanna start a fight wit anyone but i think Jesse and John should get over their stupid fight because it's obvious that Jesse's girlfriend was a ho and didnt diserve him!!! >:( if you think their songs are good now just think how much better they'd be if they all got back together!!!! X3
They'd make the SMEXYest band ever!!!!
O.- i do wear my black eye a a badge of honnor :D 5/5
and then years later Brand New added it as lyrics to their song "Seventy Times 7" which is about what happened and his feelings toward Nolan. Taking Back Sunday then came out with the song "There's No 'I' In Team," which expresses John's side of the story. In "There's No 'I' In Team," he says, "What I can't regret, can't you just forget it?" which shows how he wants to get past was happened between them.
The was written about a falling out between best friends. Lead singer Jesse Lacey had been best friends with then Taking Back Sunday guitarist/singer John Nolan (who has left the band) since grade school. Lacey's girlfriend at the time cheated on him with Nolan. John called Jesse, and the last words that Jesse spoke to him were, "You're as subtle as a brick on the small of my back so lets end this call and end this conversation" and hung up. That was the last time they spoke
ok someone needs to tell me this stiory cause it is eating me alive. i know its a fight between TBS and Brand New thats all i know i need details kids.
TBS and Brand New are both awesome but I'd take Brand New live any day of the week. Even the most hardcore of TBS fans have to admit Adam is crap live...
it's in response to a situation between jesse lacey, the lead singer of brand new, and john nolan, the old guitarist of TBS, who at this point is one of the lead singers from straylight run. read pizlett's comment.
those are the last words on the phone jesse lacey from brand new said to nolan when nolan called to tell him he slept with his girl. brand new wrote Seventy times 7 before this song was written [as a reply to the situation]. they're friends now.
omg i love this song it makes me want to cry my best friend totally disowned me today because i hid a secret from him that i knew would hurt him but now he totally hates me..=[
