    Invented rules. Action Needs An Audience is the only song I don't super love and I always wished Jim sang on it instead.

    Hey now. Look at you. Way cool.

    On that note, does anyone have the live video of Jim singing Action Needs an Audience? Can't seem to find it in my iTunes.

    Edit: Found it

    Jimmy Eat World isn't my favorite band (definitely in my top ten), but I don't know that there's any band I enjoy seeing live more than them. Their live show makes me so genuinely happy every single time, which is saying something, considering I'm by no means the happiest person.

    I'm super excited for the new record, whenever it comes.

    It's kinda wild they've never released a ballad as a single

    Not that any of the bands many 5 star ballads would necessarily be strong singles, but tunes like Hear You Me, Kill, 23, Chase This Light, Dizzy...that side of the band feels like the heart and soul of the group and it's totally unrepresented in the single choices. For shame, major label machine

    Honestly the three non closers that you listed would’ve all been pretty killer singles imo

    Every time I listen to "Be Sensible" it sounds to me like it could've / should've been a single, and it didn't even make the album! That one is kinda ballad-y.

    Same with "When I Want", although I think that one is a little less ballad-y.

    They write a lot of great songs. They’ve kind of developed a formula for what variety of songs to put on an album to please the fan base. It’s been very successful so far. It’s also leads to great songs being excluded, which has meant some superior bsides.

    Any idea what the movie was?

    Hear You Me has twice as many plays on Spotty as Bleed American and Pain dayumm
     
  17. I really hope he's referring to A Cinderella Story.

    (The song has been featured in the films Out Cold, The Butterfly Effect, and A Cinderella Story, as well as the television series One Tree Hill.)

    Obviously it is the masterpiece of cinema that is 2001's Out Cold!

    Goddamn, man child Prestigious

    The best part about hear you me in a Cinderella story was that it's like a super sad and depressing song but was used in the romantic climax scene lmao

    I think so too, especially Chase This Light. And Hear You Me is quite the sleeper hit.

    Kill is tough, its not the catchiest song ever but it’s maximum Jimmy Eat World in all the best ways. I don’t know if the lyrics coulda made an impression on radio tho, its a little too subtle

    kill is the song that everyone who knows JEW beyond the singles loves. its like the next tier after the singles everyone knows.

    I think the lyrics to “Kill” were actually my first away message. Haha
