[xT1MOTHYx]

i love his passion and energy

[minasmorath]

Man, that crowd is just a bunch of zombies. C'mon guys, this is energetic music! Dance already!

[HNUFAR]

Wowww these men can preform.

[HNUFAR]

" And I haven't even thought about killing myself in almost 3 years "

Good for you Aaron ! :)

[ShmoofingFabsee]

holy duck fuck. that was epic.

[KidASquared]

Greg Jehanian's swag is untouchable, I love it

[jascrystalspike]

i noticed something.....on the album version he said I havent thought about killing myself i almost 5 months, but in this video, he said 3 years.

[cardboardrelated]

@jascrystalspike the Album was released in October 2004. He's probably just counting up from the date he last tried.

[missgambolputty]

this guy is my favorite. Hadn't even heard of this band before; my brother made me watch this. This guy is... haha... he's so cute.

[MjgbS]

@cjgarza89 because its at a christian rock festival

[popckic]

churches need to be like that! full of energy...people would be more willing to go to...thats for sure.

[AZPhoenician]

Yea, whether or not you believe in religious beliefs and references to spirituality yada yada yada, it's just damn good music. lol

[rufuswasherebeforeya]

this crowd does not appreciate mewithouYou

[minasmorath]

They do some crazy stuff onstage, and I love every bit of it with all my heart.

[ShadowM5]

why the hell is the crowd so dead, every time i see them live i freak out and enjoy myself.... zombie crowd is right

[zero88777]

i love aarons sublte lyric changes in the older songs "i havent though of killing myself in almost 5 months" to "i havnt though of killing myself in almost three years" just incredible

[n1asfan]

Their drummer looks like Zach Galifinakis

[chadth27]

i love how he performs. he so into it that its beautiful. =)

'If I ask the same questions well maybe I repeat myself from time to time.

But it's because everyone who answers me is a liar."

[KlownParanoia]

Legendary.

[jerrytimes]

Love this band. Is it me or does the guitar sounds really odd?

[thecomfortisnow]

zombie crowd.

[jaket32025]

@thecomfortisnow lol it's an indie show, that's how it's supposed to be

[littlegirlalyssa]

"i havent thought of killing myself in over three years"

omg, that hit me hard

[tharikreis]

I really can't understand why anybody is shaking and jumping all around like Aaron. Man, I'd get crazy if I were one of them!

[PancakeRunner]

@tharikreis It's a lot harder to get your dance on when playin an instrument

[ABoyBrushedBrown]

one of the all time greatest bands!

aaron must be so fit!

[yummybassmhm]

best lyrics ever. and youtubers, it's my opinion.

[MrFinklestein]

Well Yummy.... This song is simply amazing. I won't argue :)

[ljonesey6]

Sooooo gooooood! Watching them play these live shows gets me so amped up.

[DanRules066]

haha what a great drummer, but he kinda freaks me out when i see him play.

[neckfacesupra]

i was trying to get my sister's friend to listen to mewithoutyou

she hated it

she'll never understand...

[jonviolette]

it takes a certain ear to appreciate the sounds of mewithoutyou-

[corycruel2007]

@jonviolette thats what people say when their music sucks. no one ever says it takes a certain ear to appreciate elvis presley or johnny cash.

[nighttimesky1]

@corycruel2007 so, just because a majority of people don't like sushi, does that mean that it sucks? sorry, your statement makes no sense. if we all liked the same music then it would be boring and there would be no personality or uniqueness to it. try not to look at music as who has the most popularity and acceptance but instead as a form of art open to interpretation and a little piece of that persons life...

[Martens1984]

Some'll never do.

[brianridesabike]

amazing perfomance,

pathetic crowd.

[SanctusRealRocks]

Yeah, it is an amazing performance. But I know that when I saw mewithoutYou, I spent a lot of the show kind of just standing in awe of their brilliance. like, I didn't move around much. But that obviously can't be the case for the entire crowd.

[brianridesabike]

yeah thats true.

i saw them last week,

and i have to admit they had the same affect on me.

ahhh mannn

when they started playing "in a sweater poorly knit" i thought my heart was going to stop.

it was incredible.

[paternagnstuser]

i am excited for the new album!

[baergal]

ITS SOO GOOOOOOOOD!

[gregtron11]

it's kinda good

[noideakorey]

its weird to see how pumped the band is, and the crowd is just so still, i wanna jump in the vid and wake them up. Join in with the band and just start moving around,

[eb1z1e]

wow i love how the music possess his body. amazing. the bird thing was awesome too. ha ha ha.

yeah the energy was sweeeeeeet!

pure love.

[heart30secondstomars]

oh my god this totally is the best performance from them ! all the energy, wow =) great job guys !

[holyrokker]

Me too. This was one of the best perfomances I've ever seen.

[mrmaticus]

You definetly can't say they don't enjoy what they are playing!

[JasonGAHso]

aaron's pirouette at [[2:22]] makes the vid i think :D

[recapthenrelapse]

amazing. simply breathtaking.

[JohnMark8403]

Am I crazy? Or is Rich (the drummer) wearing a toga??

[bassplayerjosh]

I love this band, and this is probably my favorite song of their's. They just have that originality factor going for them that no one else has. And Aaron lives his faith. Power to you guys.

[Clayterman]

it wouldnt. nobody should cover this song

[punk0teddeo]

haha omg i love how he just kinda skips/runs around the drummer hahaha its awsome

[ch320033]

this crowd is freakin WEAK

[ch320033]

this is my favorite mewithoutYou song.  this or O, Porcupine.

[Apockey]

dude evryone in the crowd is just standing there. i would be juming and all that

[webbyness]

This gives me chills.

Oh Aaron. I wish I could see them again :(

[godzillachamp10]

the crowd is basically lifeless

[Onoroian]

God Bless this band,truly

I hope I can get to C-stone this year to see them live

This is a great recording btw,mind if I ask what equipment you used?

[njboi94]

This one of my fav songs by them including: In a sweater poorly knit January 1979 Paper Hanger Leaf Nice and Blue(both parts) Messes of men C-minor O, Porcupine A glass can only spill what it contains Bullet to Binary And a lot more...

[SmallJapaneseGirl]

the drummer is insane in this video, he's so tight and precise. i like aaron's hat.

[ch320033]

dude hes like that everytime ive seen them live. god hes such an amazing drummer

[atthedrivein198d]

Aaron always reminds me of the guy from my name is earl...i think tis the facial hair

[catsorpiebald]

that previous message was directed to the kid that said that mewithoutyou sucks

[Teppou01]

Tie me up! Untie me!

[Teppou01]

eh...thats dumb...its about the lyrics, listen to the words man, I seriously doubt you can write as good as he can. Try doing this and watch urself get booed of the stage.

[Teppou01]

eh...thats dumb...its about the lyrics, listen to the words man, I seriously doubt you can write as good as he can. Try doing this and watch urself get booed of the stage.

[lpphr3ak677]

hey, why don't you back yourself up and give me the verse that says that.

[theonlyolgizes]

Dude Me WithOut You Is awesome :)

And heres your lyrics;

------------

Well, I follow like thread

Tie me up!

Untie me!

All this wishing I was dead is getting old... is getting old

----------

Keep it up, I still think C-Minor and Tie me up untie me are the best song u guys ever made :)

[nahta]

I saw these guys open for Thrice and Brand New last year, their the worst bands Ive EVER heard. I dont want to hear you talking with music playing in the background, wow.

[lpphr3ak677]

cool.

[FourWordLetter524]

Haha, this is coming from the person that decided to go to a Thrice and Brand New concert. I am sorry but your opinion is not valid if you listen to crap like that.

[njboi94]

hahahahahaha nice FourWordLetter. we can tell your a good fan by your name nice goin

[nahta]

haha, let me remind you, that mewithoutyou was OPENING for Thrice and BN, enough said.

[dawgfan998]

that doesnt mean anything, i saw as i lay dying open for crap bands like pod, and as i lay dying has way more talent, indie/underground bands in general are more talented, but they are also weirder, thats why non-musicians or people who dont have the ears to hear dont understand.

[catsorpiebald]

FUCCCCKKKK YOU

they are one of the most talented bands you will ever hear. their drummer is so much better than thrice's or brand news. this band could play all of brand new's songs better than brand new could. maybe you should give them another chance. i love brand new and thrice, but when i went to see all three of them, i was looking forward to seeing mewithoutyou the most.

[semasiology]

as was i... and i MISSED THEM BECAUSE THEY WENT ON FIRST

:(

[RoamingComedian]

Please go away.

[verwer777]

AMAZING band i saw them a while back with the psalters it was sweet!

[xregularxjohnx]

is that sophocles on drums?

[miracleworkingpower]

its actually aristotle, but nice try

[njboi94]

I gotta have more soup pot!

[SirPlorkenblog]

amazing.

[njboi94]

wat the deal with the bird? is it in the bible? any way i like it though just wondering why its there

[mazingkid]

i think its just because they're wierd and amzing like that

[highcoldstar]

agreed. he is a huge part of their sound.

[DKROCKER89]

i love that he changed it from 5 months to three years..accordingly.

[xXximkoolxXx]

Anyone know how rickie mazzotta tunes his drums?thanks.

[thestormlscoming]

i love aaron's dancing

awesome song, love the guitar on this one

[Fasti3ear]

(not from this song but another one called O, Porcupine)

"as the red clay formed the shape of a lizard and rush like a moth to the flame of my open hand"

A person capable of writing that simply cannot be not liked. It against the lawr or something.

Plus, the rest of the guys are awesome too. I love that drummer.

[jdj106]

Here in salem, OR. it was Halloween when they came, Richard was wearing a much too small vampire costume, I think Greg was a big bird though I cant really remember, Michael was the pope, and Aaron was a box with pillows for arms.

it was great.

[Pengoo4]

The giant bird is so creepy...

[ZombiexInxHorrorwood]

his lyrics are just amazing.

[richardexplosion]

I'm not sure if it's a rumor, but it doesn't really matter, haha. Aaron has an englisg degree, so he's obviously not mentally disabled in any way, but he may have slight autism just with the way he acts. I asked a friend who did a video for them and he said it wasn't a rumor, but I still don't know.

[xXdrumsX4lifeXx]

people he is not autistic.. he just doing his job the right way.. and he lovesa it so much it takesover him.kinda like a high that some peole use to do drugs he does it naturally thru music

[oldbenkenobi88]

he actually is just mildy autistic very very mildy but its not completely a rumor

[madtypr]

Actually, he's not. He's denied it many times. Also, an autistic person wouldn't be able to stand being around so much noise and confusion.

[richardexplosion]

The funny thing is about mewithoutYou, is that they're the most down to earth, anti-celebrity band you'll probably ever meet,

yet I feel the most starstruck when I am around them than any other band I have seen live.

[jdj106]

true to that. I guess its because being normal isnt normal anymore.

[mexx019]

yeah, i bought a few badges at their show in cleveland and talked to the lead guitarist for a few minutes. he just thanked me for the contribution and was very lax. they are definitely not average by any means. extraordinary.

[grapetalk]

good god i am so in love

[mrsrayray]

i love how aaron always looks sorta homeless, he isn't worried about impressing his fans with his clothing. that's so refreshing, he and the rest of mewithoutyou are awesome down to earth guys. not to mention an amazing and unique band. :)

[D7XYZproductions]

i didnt really know they were a christian rock band until i started to reading the lyrics to thier new album, and i thats why i like thier music u dont have to be really religiuos to love thier music, its really accesible.

[BIGTIM1024]

their type of singing/ not singing is waht sets them apart it's amazing and it makes people focus on the lyrics instead of them just flowing with the rest of the music it stands out and people focus on that and they are better on smaller stages because you can connect with the singer more and really get into waht he's saying/singing

[TrappedInTheMelody7]

he is such like the coolest hobo ever though

[TrappedInTheMelody7]

this was a really good concert except i feel as though they play better as not a mainstage band.. idk mabey its just me

[sickstring980]

kill yourself

[xXdrumsX4lifeXx]

stickstring980 get a life .

[dc3099]

"I haven't thought about killing myself in 3 years."

He changed it! haha

That line always gives me chills.

[ubervendo]

this song is amazing

[slientearth]

"tie me up! untie me!"

[ecd4070]

i lovelovelovelovelovelove mewithoutYou. aaron weiss is amazing. i met him last week. time of my life <3

[sobeisforlovers]

The reason why he moves liek that is because of the band name

mewithoutYOU, like its a person with out god

he's showing a person without god, its like the chariot

and the vocal styling are what movado3506 said and how its to focus more on the lyrics

and it could also be because they do spoken word

[sobeisforlovers]

well this kind of music is cled spoken word

thats why he does't exactly sing it, but listen to there albums and its not like the way he's singing it in this one

like i went to one of there shows last week and he changes the way he says stuff

[TigerRAWK]

My video camera is caught by you man! This is pretty good stuff...I will post mine sometime probably before this week is over

[N1NJ4lVl4573l2]

hey, when i first heard this band i hated them and couldnt stand them. but for some reason i listened to them a bit more and now i love this band. the lyrics are amazing. they put on an amazing live show. and i personally like his voice a lot now. to each his own. but i get what you mean, probably not for everyone.

[nimchild]

ya they are really good lots of there lyrics are super powerful and get me evry time its really sad but cool that the drummer and the singer have autism

[sobeisforlovers]

i'm pretty sure he doesn't have autism, cuz at the show at the conservatory in OKC last week he stood outside after the show and talked to everybody there until he had too leave cuz the bus was leaving

[manifest]

Eh i think hes very talented. I love his voice and the way he moves on stage. Its brilliant. Just different.  To each their own I guess, I happen to enjoy it.

[tripthelightfilm]

It's poetry, man.

It's not the vocal talent, it's the heart and the purity of the music that makes it so beautiful.

[radawsonco]

for a year I would yell at my friends whenever they would put in a mewithoutyou cd becuase i thought it was a tasteless, talentless, bull shit excuse for music. But then I read the lyrics. And now that i understand where he's coming from its beautiful.

[fjdkalgj5]

of course it doesn't take talent to do what he does,

that's why it's unique.

aaron weiss is in my opinion one of the most poetic songwriters of our time.

and if you[gocatsgo82] don't call this music, try at least writing something half as amazing as this.

and maybe you should listen to their albums.

[movado3506]

i believe that this band is genius. By speaking the lyrics, you focus more on the actual lyrics than you do the music. Music is backround to the vocals and vocals are only means to get your point across. I love what they do.

[noomn]

wow, i don't understand why you can't accept this as music. you don't have to love it, just accept it.

[ecd4070]

just. you guys make my life

AARON WEISS <3333333

[ecd4070]

MEWITHOUTYOU IS JUST SIMPLY.. AMAZING. heart<3

[ecdidc]

so amazing dude.

and the song IS called tie me up! untie me

duh

[gator5870]

Check the CD again.

[DeeDeeSirota]

I was there! :D ...it was even better in real life!

[ribboncandy]

what am i lookin' at at the end there?

[IWILLROKYOU]

a guy dressed in a crapy bird suit

[Autumnmovies123]

[moshpitformal]

they are soo siick awesome, but also so wierd, i love 'em

[zellas1234]

i love them too but i can't find a fan site do you know one?

[leslie65000]

more cowbell!

[robthejob]

dude plz message me how to get this video..... im sooooooooooooooooooooo in love with this... i mean wow.... plzzzzzzzz

[FourWordLetter524]

nice video, i'm ticked that i missed that concert
