Dear Sergio

[ctravis595]

check out my acoustic cover of this song

[SAV95er]

my name is sergio lol hopefully they like me

[djdblocs]

i'm not a big fan of the part they added in, but still a badass song.

[TheTorridestCheese]

I hope they make it to Pittsburgh soon! It is a dream of mine to go see them live, and hopefully meet Tomas!

[manuelvitela1]

@TheTorridestCheese I hope you do get to see them it's amazing saw them once at Club Nokia w/ Reel Big Fish now they're playing again at the Majestic Ventura Theatre on Dec. 20

[michiellr]

@manuelvitela1 I've seen them four times now and they're consistently great.

[noahperkins96]

When did they get a bass trombonist (or something that sounds like one)

[VraiDave]

I just wanna say, he says "hey sergio" not "dear sergio".... just sayin, not hating. love the music.

[anarchysean]

AMAZING fucking show on the 13th anyone else go to the HOB in SD?

[lolpppp1]

THEY SHOT EVERYONE I KNOW?!?!?!? Sad face...but goes happy due to epicawesomenessofthesong...

[anarchysean]

going to go see them with RBF woop gonna skank this bitch out

[HaydenBayden6]

@anarchysean that makes 2 of us!

[2paranoid2think]

@anarchysean FUCK YEAH! Me too!! :D

[2219tino]

one of my fav streetlight songs

[eastcoastbwits]

My favorite part is from :01 to 2:54

[bloocarter]

@eastcoastbwits so, :00 is kinda suckish? haha jk xD



[thunderectum]

While I do really like the song and all, the part at 2:54 really sucks.

[TZguy]

Well there was some skanking going on and I even joined in. But most of the crowd was just moshing. Hardcore? Ok.. It's not like they were swinging their arms wildly, that's just plain dumb imo

[Zakaree5]

People cant say they suck because they cover other bands, there Everything Went Numb album was made by them and that album was their best in my opinion

[thunderectum]

They're coming to Chicago in February!

[TheBre7]

I love how people cant tell that Streetlight is mainly made up of Ex Catch 22 Members. And always compare them. They Both are FUCKING AWESOME.

[sk8rat18]

@TheBre7 catch 22 AND one cool guy members, look up one cool guy if you dont know them, you'll be glad you did.

[burgler09]

@TheBre7 its because too many 15 year olds come on youtube and have no clue on the history of the band

[chakra8a]

@burgler09 I agree music is meant to solve problems not create them. its supposed to be enjoyed

[isnipen00bs]

@burgler09 hey, i'm 15 and i know lots about Streetlight!

[Mexican4evr96]

@isnipen00bs me to found out about them thro last.fm an now Im hooked XD

[gracieRiott]

I can not wait until February and they come to STL!!! :DDD

[ParqerDavarqer]

@gracieRiott Grace? :D Tis Parqer. Nice coincidence.

[iddtelyoubut]

I just learned this on tenor sax i dont think theres a tenor in there but i still learned it xD

[minja234]

BOTAR did it better... xD I love the fact that they managed to fit french horn in a ska band.

[CaseyTV]

Love the first few lines, don't know why, but they just speak out to me more than most.

[tanner1120]

@CaseyTV I sing those lines to myself almost everyday.

[atticus159]

if u dont like then dont fuckin listen to them but street light is way more professional

[SheaMarie13]

definitley one of my favorite Streetlight songs :D

[cashewsarewhack]

who the hell is sergio???

[shippox3]

@cashewsarewhack dose it matter?

[Thewoodchuckchucker]

Catch 22 did it better :(

[OriginalLolfett]

@Thewoodchuckchucker

yeah i think catch 22 did the whole album better( just listen to the horn, i sounds in each song in this album weird.

but streetlights other albums are fuckin great :D

[deviant3232]

@OriginalLolfett I disagree, I like the original recording on many of catch's songs, but to say the whole album is just wrong, if you listen to the quality on things like 1234, 1234 and Day in Day Out its just miles better on Streetlight's.

[that3guysproductions]

hey SERGIO!

[Edragon124]

SKA'S NOT DEAD!!!!!

[ihappy1]

@Edragon124 Ska can't die, it's too good to go away.

[MoreLittleFishies]

Honestly..

First and Second Gen' were amazing..

But, what the fuck is this? Seriously...

[tito720]

@MoreLittleFishies hardcore jazz!!!!

[Cloud98]

Hey look it's my name! I'm famous!

[palkian90]

aha, thought this was a botar song. This version is good also. Of course it is, it's Tom kalnoky & Streetlight

[willabbotsm]

palkian90, actually it's neither. It was originally a Catch 22 song. Tomas's other bands have covered it however. It really is worth all the covers! great song

[ComradeII]

Yeah i figure as Streetlight as the next step to Catch 22

[TaiMaiShus]

totally not streetlight, but catch 22 and streetlight are pretty much the same band O_o

[geddyfan6]

@TaiMaiShus Actually, after Kalnoky left, Catch 22 went in a totally different direction, you should check out their latest album, Permanent Revolution

[Clickthisprofile]

Ahem...Catch to the 22

[midge353]

BUTTERWORTH!

[Themadness42]

welcome to awesomeness go streetlight manifesto

[SnipeLess]

Savage song, savage band, god damn life feel better when you have good tunes.

[SKAtarina420]

Who cares whenever streetlight or catch 22 is better... let's all shut up and enjoy this awesome song, okay?

[ticonderoga123]

BOTAR is best. Lulz.

[PoisonSpittingClowns]

Gimp is better

[SKAtarina420]

Whether, I meant. Sorry for the typo.

[huntingmage]

This is now my favorite Tom K. song. =)

[bert099]

pimp? wtf hahahah xD

[theforsakenpiggies]

I'm glad that streetlight re-made keasby nights :D

[magustov]

Streetlights version is much better and clearer unlike most of the ska there is.

[scargo103]

So wake up, wake up, wake up,

but don't cry because you'll fuck up your make up,

and if you do, you won't get laid,

you won't make money, no you won't get paid

Epic

[rvpfan]

i like that run run run part great lyrics

[ramonemeister]

the streetlight version of keasbey nights is growing on me. i like the rawness and energy of the catch 22 version but they're his songs, he can do whatever he wants!

[IRaffed]

nop

streetlight cover version

[Piccleman]

Wrong. Nerd.

[joebee856]

cool song but i like counterpoint better

[djk3v711]

Personally, I like all the Catch versions slightly better than the Streetlight versions [because, srsly, how can you NOT like the Streetlight version at all lol], but that new verse was EPIC AS FUH

[klobb138]

imagine the nerve of someone "covering" their own songs.

[misunderstoodmarshan]

that was kickass...number 36 thumbs up

[crashingonyourface]

you are epic. wish i had that many thumbs up

[Animeoverlord00]

@klobb138 Oh the irony >.<

[jpmgmpj]

@klobb138

It's all Tom's music, so whatever.

[Hotlantaa]

@klobb138 Listen to the interview at the end of 1234 1234.

[NARNAR1307]

@klobb138 Well, that nerve paid off

[gangst5aaaaa]

i agree candidly but think youve produced too much titanium by pointing it out

[LOKIUNCIA]

It, Kinduv sounds like Their saying, G-Ho, (Or Gungho) or, Jiho, (or Jihad) Any Way... Awesome Song, From an Awesome Band!

[alwaysblinkin182]

ya know as much as i like the orginal catch 22 version of this album better..... i have to say the extra verse was fuckin sweet.

but does anyone else think he shouldnt of remade the album?

[egraseidannogew]

It's Kalnoky's songs. He can do whatever he wants.

[alwaysblinkin182]

i know, i changed my mind, im glad he remade the album cuz now he plays the songs live.

[InsaneHack]

Wow, I've never seen so many 3rd Wave / Ska Punk fans before.

Fricken great song.

[TZguy]

Haha, right? I went to their concert last year and there were only like 20 people there. They all moshed like crazy though.

[ELNIEVLA]

@TZguy come to Italy, here is full of ska/punk fans ;)

[Animeoverlord00]

@TZguy I went one of their concerts. The moshing was unbelievable >.<

Moshgasm.

[Tdog672000]

@TZguy I went this year and the place was packed, The most fun I've ever had at a show.

[Sora657]

@Tdog672000 i hate you with envy . this is a good thing okay. lols

[drummer415]

@TZguy That is called Skanking. Not moshing. Moshing is for hardcore kids.

[lz3390]

Listen to the BOTAR version, its even better imo.

[shwabity]

i love the strings in the BOTAR version

they sound so cool ^^

[adnyyyyyy]

the bassline is damm great

[shwabity]

fuckin eh,

ska always has truckin basslines

but this song especially

[lightlord99]

extra verse is dope!

[keep7up]

extra verse is from BOTAR but the extra verse in day in day out is dopeR

[wakawakafilms]

and so i said hey. SERGIO!!!!

[BiBo240]

Yeah Catch 22 has way more emotion in there music as opposed than there streamlined counterparts... It really shows in Catch 22's Ep with Tom, Theres just so much energy in there entail work, then with Streetlight it seems like it is actually guys in separate rooms playing.

[btal69]

its too bad they don't have anyone to right good songs anymore

[PhonyMacPhony]

So wake up, wake up, wake up, but don't cry because you'll fuck up your make up,and if you do, you won't get laid, you won't make money, no you won't get paid.

REALITY HURTS

[CdnSpecOps]

all these version dont have the same kick, streetlight is already established they can lay back, the original keasbey nights under catch 22 has way more energy they hadnt made it yet and had to push it, even the botar version of this song is better.

[JacyXandXDani]

i am tired sergio!! leave me AAALLLLOOOONNNNEEEE!!!!!!!!!! PEACE OUT DO

[JacyXandXDani]

same with this one!!

[JacyXandXDani]

i know someone named sergio! He plays war craft... i know... what a loser right!!!!

[Jhendia]

how does that make somebody a loser? heh

[JacyXandXDani]

no, we were just joking around!! you no how when you post a coment you can listen to it when the guy talks!! well when me and my friend were talking to him and we put it up to the phone!! srry for the missunderstanding

[sumdrmr37]

This might be a stupid question, but I always wondered who Sergio was?

[Tubcake]

One of my favorite streetlight songs, I can't listen to it once and be satisfied.

[berentg]

bunk vid but sweet song

[sergio201277]

this song rocks! My names Sergio so now i feel special! Rock on streetlight!

[SkaMasta097]

same here and the song rocks

[jpatton70]

The Drums in This song are sick as hell

[guitrumpet13]

haha about the whole argument about whether streetlight or catch had the better keasbey nights album, i've come to realize that its whatever you listened to first. I myself was introduced to streetlight first, and like it much better than the catch version. But then again, i know people who've listened to catch for years, and they say the catch is better because of the rawness of it.

so yeah...

:D

[DodGe111594]

i totally agree i personally like catch's version better because i heard it first and in my mind thats what the songs are supposed to sound like but this version is great too

[dusadusa222]

i think you are right about it

[warpuppyTN70]

i was introduced to streetlight also. i think both songs are great but streetlight's polished off a little more.

[crazyaznboy5000]

yeah. i'm a catch 22 person. but streetlight does a great job performing this song too. it's close, but catch 22 was the first so it's first in my heart. haha

[alfonzorivera]

exactly, nothing is as good as the original, to me keasbey nights and dear sergio are catch 22's songs, not streetlight manifesto's songs.

[Idontknowjustbored]

you guys do realize they're almost the exact same guys, just with better recording equipment and a few new people, right?

[Moparguy7327]

i agree catch 22 was better

[jebril]

Overall Keasbey Nights under SM was better, but there are a few songs that sound better under their first recording, 1234 comes to mind and this song.

[tonedeafchild]

like keasbey nights!

but all others streetlight runs away with

[ScottSpadea]

yeah, Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution's had better drums. this version seems kinda empty without the violin.

[wocatepa]

ya and all the extra instruments... wheres the theromin?! slm + theromin = win.

[Robocrat]

I like Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution's version better. But this one's good, too.

[SMSoccer12]

My friend Pat showed me this vid awhile ago in school while we were watchin' a movie, Thanks Pat! But anyway, if anyone can recommend some other good ska because I like it but I'm used to like hard rock so this is new for me...

[b89130]

u should try five iron frenzy listen to my evil plan to save the world

[Jesusismychurchboy]

great band. Uh Less Than Jake's old stuff was pretty awesome their new stuff rocks too, but its more pop.  Mustard Plug totally kills.

[davidbball13]

mustard plug is beast.

bid D and the kids table

leftover crack it great

[warpuppyTN70]

LEFTOVER CRACK and CHOKING VICTIM!!! goooood shiiiit!

[ichsehgutauss]

Jedes einzelne Lied von Streetlight Manifesto ist nicht nur ein Geniestreich sondern einfach Göttlich oder eher Göttergleich!!

[gregorydharris]

this music makes you smarter

[VivaLaDodis]

<3

I know streetlight and catch 22 are like some of the same people, but i like the s.m. version of this better than the catch 22 version.

[reyvader619]

haha sweet one of my favorite bands and the song has my name in it haha

[Sergiosauce024]

love this song it has my name in it

[benjula2006]

fail

[musefan152]

Haha, "don't cry cuz you'll fuck up your makeup." :D

[snapbubbles]

and if you do, you wont get laid, you wont get money and you wont get paid.

WOOO

[Robocrat]

Well, it's about a prostitute.

[musefan152]

Woo, Streetlight Manifesto! :] :] :]
