I’m 28 now. How the hell did time go so fast. I swear I was just in 2006 living like I was a rock star, jammin with my high school band playing guitar and singing thinkin we were going to make it some day. Now I’m a 28 year old therapist. I like my career, but I feel like I missed something.
This brings be back to when I was 11 years old, times were so much simpler back then. I would just watch TH-cam music videos over and over again and play club penguin.
it may not be traditional emo music but alot of emos use to listen to them, they were sighned to a majoritly emo record label and were featured along side many other emo bands, its like gym class heroes there pretty much funky hip hop but still loved by la y emos back in the day and was also featured as a new up coming emo band in kerrang years ago
Michael Blue Um, no, they haven't, I know some big news is coming up soon but they're only getting back "together" for Riot Fest Chicago, in which they'll be playing the entire Almost Here album. Unless their news is that they're back for a full 10 Year AH Anniversary tour.
Zackary Aqqad just got my VIP ticket for Philly after seeing your comment!!! :) Traveling from Dallas to Philly just to see them. But they're so worth it.
I was singing this the other day, and I knew all the lyrics but couldn't remember who it was! I used to be obsessed with them when this album came out, I feel so bad I forgot about them :(
Check out my channel for a Backstage Interview with The Academy Is!! What do they think about the attention they get from girls? Why are they afraid to play in front of their parents? How do they feel about their most devoted fans who stand waiting in the rain? And what do they decide to order for food in the middle of the interview? Find out!! All videos and interviews are in HD and include footage from the concert.
This song recalled my memory in undergrad years. I had listened to it many times, but this is the first time that I watched the music video. It was brighter than my original expectation. During my undergrad, I attended their show in NYC, they shared the stage with my other fav band, Mayday Parade. Beckett was very good at the performance. He could make people excited all along the show.
Danny Alvarado I am not okay with the knowledge you have presented to me. I'm not okay with this! I wanna go back to this time era! It was soooo much easier. Thank you, sir, for bursting my bubble and throwing me back into reality. :/
I am so so so glad i got to see them live and meet them before they split. RIP TAI... your music will always stay in a special place in my heart, and ipod. ♥ They are all great and will thrive in whatever they choose to do next.
Andrew Anderson The Lord is vain. He has a house on almost every street. Pictures of himself hang on the walls of these homes. And he doesn't want you listening to any one but him. I'd say he's very pleased with himself.
you know how every band has that one really attractive guy? ...well they are ALL pretty attractive>< i love this band. i miss their music, the music industry needs more bands like this.
I really like this band. They're very underrated for an early 2000's indie pop punk aesthetic and don't get enough credit for helping shape the sound of the era as much as other bands do.
First band I ever saw live, way back in 2006 prior to the release of Santi. Man, I'm so nostalgic right now. I miss this band more than words can even express.
yeah, i'm a freshman in college now! i loved these guys in middle school! i still love them, i saw william a few weeks ago at a house show, greatest experience of my life!
Saw them back in the summer of 2005 in Amityville, NY. I was first introduced to them that day and have been lovin them ever since. Just a cool FYI, the venue probably had tops of 200 people allowed in and the Plain White T's opened up for them.
I'm on a binge of all the songs of my childhood. This is right up there. Summers in a park drinking, music's loud and spirits are high. Roll forward ten years. Where's it gone, what happened to music?
It's so easy to say "Lets just remember the run they had and how much fun I had watching them in concert and how they changed my life forever" In my heart though I'm hurtin bad :(

The nostalgia is killing me. Take me back to the Fueled by Ramen era!!
hey
FBR sux now.
Take me back to the Drive-Thru Records era
It's killing me too
How bout epitaph? I like the move to emo rappers like Smrtdeath, lil lotus, guccihighwaters. They’re adapting to the scene
The memories this brings back.. Im 30, now... Wish I could go back to those days.
good old days, isnt it? I'm almost 33...but damn, i miss those years
true that. also 33 😂
I'm turning 33 this year guys, and I'm glad I'm not the only one to come back to music like this. Simpler times
Man, same here, I’m 30. That’s why I came back to this song! Lol
Everything has changed.
You got us all in our feelings bro lol
Really enjoyed the whole 2 pixels!
this is the best comment
@Romaine Calm men chill out you so serious. Humor must be your friend sometimes. Kidding.
Liking this lovingly 😆
❤️
$50k music video, all that gear, and this is the best upload we get lol
I'd forgotten how heart-crushing gorgeous William Beckett is, holy shit.
Tardisblue14 he's still hella gorgeous too ahh *~*
Yea I thought he was a girl for the first 2 minutes
Biggest mood
Yo is he even real? So beautiful. I had no idea what they looked like until now. #quarantine2020

I’m 34 and these bands were just babies… I fucking loveeee this Era. Best music ever

C'mon man, it was 2006
lol
😂😂
hahaha 🙏🏻😆
hahahahahah
William's beauty will live on forever in this video.
I mean... he's still alive. He's not dead
I’m 28 now. How the hell did time go so fast. I swear I was just in 2006 living like I was a rock star, jammin with my high school band playing guitar and singing thinkin we were going to make it some day. Now I’m a 28 year old therapist. I like my career, but I feel like I missed something.
It's never too late. You only get one life, isn't it better to fail trying than to never try at all?
You can still form a band and play songs bro
😂@@julioenriquetan8084
This brings be back to when I was 11 years old, times were so much simpler back then. I would just watch TH-cam music videos over and over again and play club penguin.
heard this live for the first time at the FOB show march 22, 2024 and lost it completely.
dude fall out boy's tour for smfsd was incredible, props on having great taste
It’s 2020 and I’m still listening to them gosh i miss them! They should get back together and make music & so should cobra starship

The good ol' days, the emo days. Takes me back

+Colonel Bishop “Warwolf 1” I'm going to an emo night, and I requested this song. God, I want it to be 2004/5/6 again
*sigh* nostalgia :c
😀
@@birdsascarnage 2007
Emo is still here but it's even emo anymore
Saw them in 2006 with HelloGoodbye, Cartel, and they opened for Panic! At The Disco. Truly one of my happiest memories.
Damn were you at the brewery in Raleigh by a chance?
the early 2000's were the best and emo was thriving this isn't even up for debate
The Emo Trinity yes
Jaime Reyes it isn't that deep, chill
Jaime Reyes just asking....whats emo? like which bands
Jaime Reyes i posted this a year ago and it's not that deep. let it go ~
it may not be traditional emo music but alot of emos use to listen to them, they were sighned to a majoritly emo record label and were featured along side many other emo bands, its like gym class heroes there pretty much funky hip hop but still loved by la y emos back in the day and was also featured as a new up coming emo band in kerrang years ago
How to forget those old good days.
I wish I was old enough to see them in concert when they were still in the music industry.
~Every 12 year old listening to this now
WB still plays solo and is still fantastic. He usually throws in an ACI song or two.
um...... they still make music they got back together this year.
Michael Blue Um, no, they haven't, I know some big news is coming up soon but they're only getting back "together" for Riot Fest Chicago, in which they'll be playing the entire Almost Here album. Unless their news is that they're back for a full 10 Year AH Anniversary tour.
+Jen A. they announced a tour!!
Zackary Aqqad just got my VIP ticket for Philly after seeing your comment!!! :) Traveling from Dallas to Philly just to see them. But they're so worth it.
haven't heard this in years and still know every word
I was singing this the other day, and I knew all the lyrics but couldn't remember who it was! I used to be obsessed with them when this album came out, I feel so bad I forgot about them :(
Same...im karaoking the F* out of this
Omg my emo days! So weird how you can listen to a song almost 10 years later and still remember every lyric haha
haha yes!! same here 2006 i was 16 , time definitely passed too fast
Yesss!
Loool yes!! Im going full karaoke now
I feel SO OLD watching this now. I remember when this came out.
Taking Back Sunday vibes omg
I miss this era, damn I'm down the rabbit hole so far. William was so lovely to meet at gigs, a sweetheart.
The 2000's were a precious time that I miss
these were the days, good music
If you were listening these songs at 12 you were THE BOMB
Im 12 right now
I was 14 😂😂😂
I was 11
I was 7, my emo age started early and tbh never left
Nice seeing some diversity here among. TAI fans. :)
This band literally made this entire genre and era in music. god what a band you guys were then
Let’s relax
😂
This deserves a new upload in HD!
All their videos *deserve* an upload in HD, ¡It would be awesome!
Yes. I need to see William’s beauty in full HD.
Check out my channel for a Backstage Interview with The Academy Is!!
What do they think about the attention they get from girls? Why are they afraid to play in front of their parents?

This band really should have blown up
Truly
10. Fucking. Years. Holy shit.
IKR? I remember seeing them at the Warped Tour in 2006. Damn I feel old.
Seriously. shit I got old...
Danny Alvarado
I am not okay with the knowledge you have presented to me.
I'm not okay with this!
I wanna go back to this time era! It was soooo much easier.
Thank you, sir, for bursting my bubble and throwing me back into reality. :/
That is the best song ever. It is on my I-pod and i just saw the video!
I LOVE ITTT
awesome.
This song reminds me of my childhood/pre-teen years. So cool, so nostalgic. Still love them.
Hows life ? Been 8yrs since this comment
2006 :'/ I miss you so.
Same!
14 years and I still love this song!!!
this music will forever be the shaper of my current music taste and my taste in guys! thank you William Beckett
same
Jesus. This song harkens me back to high school.
I am so so so glad i got to see them live and meet them before they split.
RIP TAI... your music will always stay in a special place in my heart, and ipod. ♥
They are all great and will thrive in whatever they choose to do next.
yea
Forever a favourite
Omg, this was 2006..? God damn it where does the time go?!
I remember seeing them for the first time at the Warped tour in 2005... 9 years ago. Time does fly doesn't it.
It's crazy that this was already 9 years ago. I miss these days!
These were the days, maahhhhnn!!
honestly, i'm sad i didnt know about them when they where still together :'((((
***** They are?? ..Only in Chicago tho? I can't make it there.. But William Beckett also does solo stuff and I'm going to see him in a week. (:
Can't wait to see them play in chicago this summer, I could cry im so excited and happy to be living younger me's dream
2020... Time flies.. What a good old days.. Listened to this kind of songs when i was 20 yo... Now I'm 31... I missed this so bayd.. 😢
this song gives me peace...
This dude should be the picture next to 'Pretty Boy' in the dictionary.
Exactly!!
dewd this guy was more death metal than ur sweet 👴 ol mammy and even ur lil dog to
see also: twink
Everyone talking about the nostalgia and I'm just a 14 year old who got into them last year lmao
lmao** I'm ready to die
It must be crazy to think that there is an entire generation about 11 years older than you that knows this song and other songs like it word for word.
Seth Patterson yeah, it is. I wish that more people my age knew about this band, though.
Same. I blame Ryan Ross for making me search up Bill Beckett's solo work and ultimately leading me here.
Well you have good taste! thank good you're not listening to Bieber or Lil Wayne and all that shit.
I miss this band
Will was so hot that after all these years, I still can't even
Haven't heard this since 09...
Still knew every word. But can't remember my birthday.
8 years after this song came out and it wont stop being amazing!!!! ARRGGH!
It is still amazing as of now
Class of '06 represent! We have families and careers now. Crazy.
omg the good ol music days! emo was my shiii
Saw this live yesterday and the child in me was in heaven
jesus christ, I still remember every single word
Andrew Anderson
The Lord is vain. He has a house on almost every street. Pictures of himself hang on the walls of these homes. And he doesn't want you listening to any one but him. I'd say he's very pleased with himself.
I love how he says alright Alright slow down
Take me back to this time pls.
you know how every band has that one really attractive guy? ...well they are ALL pretty attractive>< i love this band. i miss their music, the music industry needs more bands like this.
I still listen to this song this day. I remember when it was released, & I still think.. this snare is one of a kind, truly great song
wishing I was teenager during the early 2000s :(
It was amazing! I was 16 when this band came out and we all went crazy for them!
i was born in 96 but i really wanted to live my teenage era in 2000s why was i not born earlier maybe in 80s or early 90s geees 😑😔😔😔
never understood why william always tired a scarf to one of his legs but he’s still hands down one of the prettiest men I’ve ever seen
This song is about the band staying true to themselves, and not leaving their morals behind as they gain fame.
I really like this band. They're very underrated for an early 2000's indie pop punk aesthetic and don't get enough credit for helping shape the sound of the era as much as other bands do.
This band is underrated ass fuck, they're amazing
First band I ever saw live, way back in 2006 prior to the release of Santi. Man, I'm so nostalgic right now. I miss this band more than words can even express.
Cheers to everyone still listening to this beauty 🤘🍸🥂🤍
It's 2020 and I suddenly remembered this song and that's why I'm here listening to them again
I miss this era!!!
this used to be my jam back in the day!
yeah, i'm a freshman in college now! i loved these guys in middle school! i still love them, i saw william a few weeks ago at a house show, greatest experience of my life!
I remember being 14 and obsessed with this album. Ahh good old daysss 😧
Saw them back in the summer of 2005 in Amityville, NY. I was first introduced to them that day and have been lovin them ever since. Just a cool FYI, the venue probably had tops of 200 people allowed in and the Plain White T's opened up for them.
Kevin Rice Similar story here. January 2005, I saw them in Nashville, TN at The Exit/In. They opened for Straylight Run. Ah, memories.
2023 still listening
awww can we bring this kind of music back pleeeease!! lol i would give anything to go to a concert to my fave high school bands haha
I still love this band
i miss this band so much
Wow His face is Flawless.
WILLIAM IS LIKE RYAN ROSS AND BILLY CORGAN HAD A LOVE CHILD AND I LIVE FOR IT
More like Ryan and Dallon
My cousin gave me these guys for my ipod and i have been rocking them out for a while and i had no clue they were this popular. Love them.
Will always be one of the best TAI... songs. And damn I loved this look on him. His hair was to die for.
Damn the middle school days hahaha
High school, for me.
I miss it so much. lol
I started singing this in the shower today after not listening to it for years.. and here we are
Why I haven't discover this band for so long...That is real good
i was 13 when this came out & this takes me BACK
also screaming at this 240p LMFAO
This song still rocks today
everyone here is like "i'm nostalgic" and i got into them six months ago,,
bloody hell. at least you discovered them. had a great run
i got into them only a year ago so i know how you feel *sobs*
Shame you didn't find them sooner. TAI isn't around any more, but William still performs I believe.
William Beckett es tan hermoso por Dios❤ no me canso de mirarlo
Alright , alright , SLOw downn. we need one more vans morphed tour.
🤿🌊
Nostalgia
this song with such video quality is just perfect, I see you next month guys :u
I'm on a binge of all the songs of my childhood. This is right up there. Summers in a park drinking, music's loud and spirits are high. Roll forward ten years. Where's it gone, what happened to music?
after 10 years haha still listening,oh my teen age
THE VERY GOOD SONG...YEAHHHHHH ROCK N ROLL MUSIC....
Easily one of my favorite TAI songs, I need NEW music like this!
+Sage Rose12 wow just found out about the reunion tour, If I had known about it earlier I could have gotten tickets to the next show :(
+Sage Rose12 update: I am going ahh I know I'm talking to myself but I have no chill right now!!!
2021 i really like this
Back when the newest artists coming out were GOOD. :3
Right in the feels, damn senior year.
It's so easy to say "Lets just remember the run they had and how much fun I had watching them in concert and how they changed my life forever" In my heart though I'm hurtin bad :(
#afterthelastTAIshow
You guys will be missed.
