  • SOMEONE. TAB. THIS. RIGHT. NOW.

  • This guy is amazing at everything he does. Say Anything has it all, the lyrics, the frontman (max) and the style. I can't get enough. Their songs could all be released as singles and I'd listen to them all. Say Anything is one of the best bands ever

  • how does he get that awesome tone! i want it

  • if i sing this to a girl, does that mean im gonna get lucky? i think so.

  • @Mugenis4real Uh. Yeah! just hope she doesn't figure out another guy wrote it for another girl!

  • @Taingu112 Different genres of music tend to have their own hairstyles. As Metalcore, Hardcore nowadays has the scene hair and the emo flippy hair. He is saying that the hair he has does not fit into one specific type pf music.

  • Uhh anyone wanna tell me what "My hair cannot commit to one popular genre of music" means? or what he's referring to?

  • these songs make me cry.....I love Max

  • creeper

  • i swear im going to find him and rape him <3

  • beautiful.

  • My heart melts every time I hear this. I just wish someone would sing this to me.

  • I want to do an electric cover of this so baddddddd.

  • Max wont relapse, he is in a good place. If he did relapse say..... just by chance!!!! He has millions upon millions of ppl to support and help him!!!! We wont let drugs or alchy or depression take away this amazing person!

  • ok some people discust me, never hope n e 1 will relaps untill u have gone metal from drugs deprstion and total hell go die ina fucking hole!

  • @kamerongeeslin was that English?

  • Does anyone know how I can download the audio of this version

  • @hooperalert vid to mp3 transfer

  • @equalmatter you'll lose a lot of sound quality by using that. search on mediafire perhaps.

  • @HAM6BONE9 true, but sometimes it doesnt matter to some ppl.

  • @hooperalert You can use Zamzar.com to convert any youtube video to an mp3

  • No actually. I'm a fan of the music he makes. And he makes better music when he is high and depressed. So fuck you. And in no way did I even make the assumption that this song was written when he was having the mental problems. Now whose the asshole.

  • I miss clinically insane Max. I hope he relapses.

  • @haackcody8 What a shitty thing to say. Max has never been better and seems to be insanely happy. Anyone who wishes that to be taken away from him is not a fan at all, and is just an asshole. Fuck you. Also he didn't even write this song when he was having all those mental problems? Fuck you. Again.

  • @haackcody8 y would you hope that?

  • @grooviescycleshop And you are an expert on this? Well then why aren't you famous, huh?

  • DEAR GOD. He sings about her so sweetly, it makes me hate her less for having Max instead of me xD

    I think it speaks volumes when a love song is more about the individual than it is about the love one has for him or her. So wonderful that he made it personal to her. He's a true romantic :)

  • I can see how people would say that the chorus is a little lame compared to the beautifully portrayed verses, but I think that's the beauty. All those feelings he describes can only be sumed up in the most innocent of the means as having a crush :)

  • that left ring finger is occupied, is max married? 

  • @LostExess Yes, to Sherri DuPree/Bemis

  • @ReeonZOID omg i just read she was married to chad from new found glory...isnt hayley williams dating him?

    small freakin world...

  • @manhatten345 Yeah, she was briefly married to him, but

    "On April 4, 2009, DuPree married Max Bemis of the band Say Anything. They currently reside in Tyler, Texas.

    She was briefly married to Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory from February 2007 to December 2007"

  • @LostExess ya

  • @LostExess the songs about his wife.

  • his guitar = <33333

  • @cutlassburnin ...is a real boy was their 3 cd you forgot junior varsity or Menora/Mejora

    @alliedarky this is on their self titled cd also know as property

  • What album is this on?!

  • @alliedarky

    Their Self titled

  • I definitely dont feel the same passion in their music like I did in there first 2 albums. I guess its kind of hard to beat a song like woe though.

  • @cutlassburnin I honestly think it's because Max is becoming more emotionally stable. He's getting older and more mature. I really appreciate how, if you listen to every song by Say Anything chronologically, it reflects the growth of a human being out of adolescence, depression, mental instability, addiction, and frusteration. Say Anything tells a story.

  • @poempoorlywritten3 so... Say Anything has... Said... Everything?

  • @JoshTheGrouch Hahaha! Yes, exactly!

  • @poempoorlywritten3 beautifully put

  • @Stoopkid1990 Thank you :)

  • @poempoorlywritten3 Thats the best way I have ever heard it put.

  • @amekokurosaki Aww thanks :>

  • He is so fucking nervous, you can see his hands shaking and voice trembling but great.

  • Its pretty fucked up i got put in jail for rape when the replay button let me ;l

  • If Max sang this to me directly I would have sex with him. If my girlfriend let me....We'll...If Max let me.

  • @jujubees3311 i'd do it anyways.

    whether both of them agreed or not.

  • @jujubees3311 Me too. and It wouldn't even be homosexual. Just beautiful

  • @jujubees3311 hahahaha, excellent!

  • @jujubees3311 Just so you're aware, you made me laugh in a library on the silent floor. I am not not allowed back on that floor today due to people studying for finals, lmao.

  • Comment removed

  • he is playing a gibson song writer deluxe studio ec.

    for those of you who wanted to know.

  • anyone else notice the spit fly out of his mouth at 3:02??

    haha I think i've watched this video way too much but it's soo good

  • He's got an awfully beautiful voice and dashing good looks! <3

  • Max Bemis should have his own genre called bemo........or bemcore .....he deserves his own genre for writing such amazing music!

  • @richardmorrison78 Best comment I've read all day. We NEED to make this happen!!

  • Comment removed

  • @richardmorrison78 What about maximus bemises? Def wouldn't call it bemo...

  • Comment removed

  • this song does not work acoustically. it really doesn't. bury me, but I say this as a say anything fan

  • @motty32 you can't call yourself a true fan man

  • @motty32 How so? The mood of the lyrics are so pure and heartfelt that the only way this song can really project the true emotion is with an acoustic guitar.

  • @motty32 you're retarded! this is an amazing song acoustic, personally i think the album version just sound horrible....you have to tell yourself he created this song with his acoustic guitar, the album version is just there for the record deal...

  • @motty32

    I love how polite you were with that comment. lol :P

    yes, I agree. though I am a fan. just one small difference

  • he needs to write a song about himself called "superman-step aside."

  • One of my favorite songs of all time. <3

  • Max Bemis.... Is amazing. =] a role model and definite hero. I wish I could make music as beautiful as this =]]]]]]]

  • i have a total crush on Max ;)

  • Max Bemis is my favorite musician in the world! I've been a fan since... as long as i can remember. I know the lyrics to every single song and he has been a HUGE inspiration on my life. Feel free to check out the songs that ive created under my videos and pleaseee tell me what you think :) It's my first time sharing my music with anyone so we'll see how this goes xD

  • im making my girl a valentines homemade cd and im gonna cover this and put it on.

    Thank you Max

  • Such an emotional and talented guy. I love max, he's my hero.

  • He really has to go to the bathroom. :O I can tell.

  • I like almost everything about this song besides the "I have a total crush on you" parts. It's just so lame XD. Great verses though...

  • Somebody get me the tabs for this or something dang...

  • It's amazing to see how he's a bit stressed at the beginning and then gets so into it! I love this song^^

  • @Nacieee It's Max, he's not always fully together. Maybe that's why he makes such amazing music.

  • Fantastic song - greaaaat camerawork too.

  • to everyone talking about "his band" you need to understand he writes all of the instruments parts himself, and recorded all of the instruments except for the drums on "...Is A Real Boy"

  • Simply, the most amazing artist I've heard and seen in so long.

    I love the whole band of Say Anything <3

  • words cannot explain my feelings towards this song,this amazing man,or his amazing band.<3

  • love can't be expressed with words. unless you're max bemis

  • hahaha justin bieber being a video relationship to max....justin biebers music doesnt hold a flame to max.

  • @Wavearcade agreed

  • @Wavearcade ... But the two of them would be a hilarious cage fight.

  • bemis is the most excellent

  • i love max and sherri(:

    its funny, i'm seeing say anything this weekend, and eisely next weekend. <3

  • @jastafreefall where are you seeing Eisely???

  • @KrissyLuvsYu well, it was at warehouse in houston but i couldnt make it.

  • It's so true how versatile there songs are :)

  • his hands are shaking he seems nervous but he still does a good job.

  • huge eisley fan had no idea who say anything was till him and sherri got together....now LOVE him and this song is so sincerely and genuinely awesome. :)

  • this song is an amazing love song. it's so truthful and unabashed. he puts it right out there. you know, i've always said, in a world where hate is the status quo, love is the punkest thing of all

  • looks like max wasnt really feeling it this time...

  • I just cried <3

  • i love the "did it hurt when you fell from heaven" it takes a truly talented musician to turn the world's most cliché love phrase into the most genuine and beautiful part of the song :)

  • he is adorable.

  • I've been listening to this song non-stop now for two days. I can relate to alot of the songs lyrics. In a lack of better words it's a sublime piece of work! It's going to stay with me forever for sure.

  • I've tried to use the musical prowes mixed with the lyrical superiorety of max. I tried to stay away from using the same musical devices and methods though. Only 1 viedo on my page now is akin to say anything. its called "Baby, write me another indie pop-punk acoustic song." Its a pretty long and complex song and i dont expect people to have that much of an attention span.

  • I love you Max.

    This song is so pure and a true love song.

  • I like this song, I really do. However, I keep thinking he's going to crack a joke, it just comes off as a comedy song to me. I listened to the album version and I don't get that impression so it's probably just this version. But yeah, it is a good song, I do enjoy listening to it.

  • *sighs* you know when you u see an inspirational prophet (:

    This guy makes me wanna be as good in singing as him... I know it's not the greatest what you people think but to me as a dude...If it sounds so swell than Im in love with it...

    his voice amazing.

    Say Anything your amazing and Max you seem like a great person (:

  • Dude, he's really nervous! His fingers are trembling and his voice goes in and out. Must've been a big thing for him to be recognized by the Billboard.

  • @FuckingSwim I don't think that's nervousness. I think it's the emotion & feelings he's pouring out at the thought of Sherri :P

  • @FuckingSwim so i'm not the only one that noticed that either?

  • @FuckingSwim i dont think he was nervous i do know he has alot personal ilness if u would call them that like bi polar ness or what ever but idk if that affects him at all  when performing thats jsut what ive heard hahaha

  • Ahh Max, you're the artist and I'm the silly jerk. I like the way Say Anthing songs just make my happiness swell until it crushes all my other emotions, and I don't care if this comment is corny or you don't like it. It's my opinion. Even if I meet Max and he hates me, it doesn't change the way the songs make me feel or how I feel about him. I think of him as a big brother :) because he always inspires me to be myself. Oh, and to the 3 dislikes, you can resume watching "Hannah Montana."

  • I have a total man-crush on Max Bemis and his orgasmic lyrics. He is my musical hero.

  • uhhh god I want to make sweet sweet love to Max and his lyrics. HOT damn a lamb a ding dong

  • This is the sweetest song! Max Bemis seems like a sweet guy, his wife is lucky!!

  • Great songwriter , but as stupid as this may sound. I like an angry addled beamis.

  • this dude is truelly a genius. and to the 3 dislikes... FUCK OFF

  • i love him omg

  • "We should make a verbal agreement to only kiss eachother!" I love his lyrics so much

  • I think its funny that he kinda looks like Seth Macfarlane

  • awww i like him with a beard better :( good vid tho :D

  • the best part of this song is from 0:00 to 4:34

  • @discolives79 I agree, that last second is rather rough. ;)

  • I have seen this man live so many times now, he will always make me piss my pants in adoration of his aura. :D

  • Favourite part 1:48 to 2:14

  • Max Beamis is sooo hott

  • My favorite bands: 1. Mewithoutyou, 2. RED, 3. Okkervil River, and now 4. Say anything. Aaron Weisse is my favorite lyricist, and he is my second.

  • justin bieber shouldn't be a related video to such true talent.

  • @drewrocks43 you dont think justin beiber has talent? im no bieber fan but when i clicked the video for him singing heartless i was like damn he can sing

    you have to give him props for being so young and talented

  • @pivvot he hasnt hit puberty yet? wait for his voice to crack once and he'll be jsut like aaron carter or any of the other fab bands. jonas brothers have been real popular lately. same with nsync and backstreet boys. hes a fad. meaning his skill isnt high enough to earn respect.

  • @pivvot wanna maybe not talk about justin bieber? he's trash.

    you want someone that can sing, listen to any song, by this band.

  • @KrissyLuvsYu ooook how about i can talk about whoever i want? mmkay?

    and honestly youve got to be lying to yourself when you say justin isnt a good singer

    LOOK AT MY PROFILE AND FAVORITES i do NOT like faggy justin bieber, hannah montana, jonas bros shit.. but at least im grown enough to give someone respect for talent

    your just too young to do the same and i understand

  • @drewrocks43 AMEN! ;D

  • @drewrocks43

    Consider this as an HONOR for that Bieber brat.

  • @drewrocks43 im your 111th thumbs up :D

    

  • I love Max Bemis. And i love this song. :)

  • its so inspiring to see an artist with such lyrical talent!

    so inspiring!

  • he's nice

  • i love him.... so.... much...

  • 0:53 he is a badass

  • So during the bridge- Does anybody catch what he's playing? I'm sure it's just a variation of the verse but I just can't seem to get it right. I've figured everything else out, all I need to perfect is the bridge.

  • As a commenter stated earlier, Max deserves to finally right a happy song.

  • Comment removed

  • First mistake, use of Audix mics.

    Second mistake, use of cardioid mic whereas a wide-cardioid mic would have been a better call (better to capture the vocals when max turns his head or aims his mouth away from the mic during the performance).

    Third mistake, who ever mixed this used WAYY too much reverb. Max is fuckin' playing to a small crowd, not to an empty stadium.

    Otherwise there's really nothing else wrong with this.

    Rock on, Max. Rock on.

  • @JulianDestroya does it make you feel better to rant?

  • @manofsteele92

    More or less, yeah.

  • @JulianDestroya this song is perfect in every way.

  • @Sophietjuh

    And I agree, there's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SONG, it's just the way it was recorded/mixed that I have a minor problem with!

  • anyone here who isn't interested in professing their love from Bemis wanna tell me what guitar that is? i love the sound.

  • who else wishes they are sherri right now? <33

  • @abbyrigg me! Pick me! ;)

  • @Sophietjuh

    noo. MEE! (:

  • This song is hilariously cute :)

  • Everytime I watch him sing I am completely blown away.

  • I still don't understand how that was an oedipal complex :/

  • @lexierokey i think it might mean he had some sort of attraction to his mother (because in Oedipus, he marries his mother), and his taste now is for girls like his mom....but hes max :)

  • it's awesome how everytime he plays it he gets emotional. pure love for music and the words he writes for his wife

  • i love the massive head shake at the end :D

  • Respect to you work. You're an artist, i'm a silly jerk.

  • i wish I had as much talent to write lyrics like Max. He is someone I will always look up and will be inspired by.

  • Max Bemis is my fucking idol.

  • Anyone know what the setlist has been like for them while touring with Angels and Airwaves? I think they've only done one show so far but I'm going next Sunday and I hope this gets played!

  • i freaking love that guitar.. gibson acoustics are so under rated! kevin devines song writer is sweet too

  • I fucking love this man! I'm seeing him...well THEM... on the 27th. :D :D :D he's such an amazing performer. I love how he gets really into it. ahhhh

  • This has got to be one of the most beautiful men ever. Wow, I'm such a fangirl. xD

  • words can't express my love for this man and his amazing ability to create the most incredible music ever. =]

  • Sherri is his wife.

  • Idk if he is actually talking about a girl named sherri. Sherri is also french for darling so im not sure on this one
