Seriously considering selling one of my guitars and getting the Jim signature Tele. I love how the white one looks.
God has cursed me into being a left handed guitarist so if I ever come across a stupid amount of money I'm putting it into a left handed JA signature
the wood grain one is cool. the pickups sound awful but that's an easy fix/no one's fault but fender's
Listened to the 30 something track version of Futures today with all the bsides and demos and it’s such a god damn perfect record. Easily my
This was great. 1.) Great song choices 2.) I could listen to Jim talk about his perspective on music/creation all day long. 3.) Super weird, but super cool to see Tom play a Fender/Tele! 4.) These guys don’t age
What are the best Jimmy Eat World songs about love? I find Jim often writes more about love lost, longing or something unrequited. I ask because I’m getting married next year and I absolutely have to incorporate as many songs as I tastefully can. Would love to hear the threads thoughts.
Maybe something off Chase This Light? Mind you that album is probably their most deceptively hopeful ...
We had three JEW songs as part of our wedding. “For Me This Is Heaven” as one of the slow dances, the acoustic version of “Coffee and Cigarettes” on the cocktail hour playlist, and “Sweetness” as a near-the-end-of-the-night singalong.
Love this. I really wish that the band had kept the recorded version of Chase This Light acoustic because lyrically that song is perfect for a wedding.
I know this is the opposite answer, but for me, all the breakup songs on Damage are still about love. And I enjoy that record more than most people
This has always been one of my favorite JEW songs about love and it’s one of the songs my wife and I danced to at our wedding. Some say beautiful Is only ones and zeros In the light The skin that wraps around And keeps you here Only hold you here in life Don't love the soul It's only dots and crosses in your eyes Everything we do is just a thing And it's only here but just this little while But it's my life my own Lot of people trust this but I don't No one hears the things that I believe through the shouts The truth is something, baby, no one really knows I'll say beautiful Is the way your eyes dance with me in this light The body wraps around and keeps me here The one I give to you in full tonight
i think the title track on Chase This Light is quite romantic. the chorus of All The Way is very celebratory too
Invented is obviously a gorgeous love song. Not as many direct, reciprocated-love songs by this band. But they sure make spite sound good.
Been a huge fan since Bleed American came out (I was 9 at the time). Stars finally aligned and I got to see the for the first time in Richmond. Absolutely worth the wait, they played 21 songs and I new every lyric and guitar chord played on stage. REALLY hoping they announce a new album, I realize singles is how the music biz works nowadays, but it's not the same as listening to a whole album.
picked up bleed american on amazon for 22$ on vinyl. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WBJSO6A/?tag=absolutepunk-20
