just seen this haha “F.I.N.E.” is also part of the bigger plan for You, Me, And Everyone We Know. The song (along with other future single releases) will be part of an album slated for release March 26, 2021.
I really love the “working on it slowly like I’m buffering” line. this song makes it feel like he really just picked it back up right where he left off, no rust at all. I’m really glad to have them back and I hope they find a viable way to tour.
"When we say ‘fine’ in conversations like, ‘I’m fine,’” he begins, “there’s usually more to that. It’s often a way of guarding ourselves from having to be honest with ourselves and others with how we are doing. " I do this daily lol
Had no idea he had a serious head injury. Guess he needs to be very careful if he ever does do tours. Nice to hear he’s married and doing pretty well all things considered. cant wait for more music
From the article: “It’s a Friday, and it just happens to be my 10th anniversary of sobriety,” he reveals. “So I was like, ‘That’s a good auspicious date.Let’s shoot for that.’ As far as things go, I think we’re almost halfway there. I don’t see why it isn’t something we can’t make happen. But the great thing is we can rework some of this stuff, mess around a little during the process rather than putting out 10 songs at one time. It’s like [thinking in hindsight], ‘Oh, we could’ve done that. It is the thing that we had a different opinion of three months later.”
So the album will be a collection of (potentially) re-worked versions of all the singles they're going to release over the course of this year. Stoked.
I went from just liking this to loving it after a couple listens. I’ve been listening to a lot of YMAEWK lately and I’m just so proud of Ben and I’m so happy I discovered Party For The Grown And Sexy back in 2009 while randomly searching for bands similar to Say Anything. Bens songwriting has stood the test of time better than other artists of his ilk and I can’t wait to see what he does this year.
Haha nice. There was a time where SA was my favorite band and Max Bemis could do no wrong, so naturally I wanted even more. Discovered YMAEWK and then Weatherbox not long after and I’m so glad I did.
It’s funny how YM&EWK, and Weatherbox surpassed SA in every way. Maybe not album selling wise, but certainly quality/creatively. I say that as a huge SA fan.
I was trying to find bands like Say Anything because I was in the same boat as @CoffeeEyes17 , got into Mansions, Weatherbox, YMAWEK, Manchester Orchestra and so many other bands I forget. I didn't ever think I'd prefer any band over SA but that seems to be the opposite now, I prefer EVERY band over them
i have been trying to place the bridge in this thing for a week now and it finally hit me today - it's got big Yellow Cat Red Cat energy
