I think that's about the time I got introduced as well. I got to see em open for NOFX and Bad Religion, and they absolutely blew em off the stage. Went n bought both albums I'd missed out on the very next day
I think I was like twelve when this song came out, and I was immediately hooked. I think this is the first time I’ve listened to it in like ten years, and it still holds up.
I was in freshman or sophomore year of highschool. I remember seeing it on MTv and immediately fell in love with this song. The music video is fantastic. Definitely still holds up.
I discovered this band because I first heard this song while sitting in my car in line to get into the Hoover dam. The car in front of me I had the top down and all I could hear with my windows closed was the baseline for the song and I thought damn that sounds really fucking cool and then I just had to try to remember a few of the lyrics so I could Google it later. Can’t stop listening to this song.
Bro showed me this when it came out mainly because of how unconnected the drummer’s head looked (back then at that quality). Downloaded the song instantly.
Why do they keep clipping in flipped shots of them playing their instruments righty and then lefty? Distracting. Is that the “audience manipulation in rock music?”
You're coming off kind of contrived and pretentious You're not saying anything we haven't heard before You're caught up in an argument Oh, you're so lost in modern art You were losing all and you will find again Don't lose touch Don't lose touch S.O.S. text you from a cell phone Please tell me I'm not the only one That thinks we're taking ourselves too seriously Just a little too enamor with the inflated supra bastion Oh, talk is cheap and it doesn't mean much Don't lose touch Don't lose touch I'm losing to-o-ouch!

And it's obvious
@@IBESMusic94 No thank you. New Wave is a terrible album, and the Laura show period is just one long yawn fest. The only Against Me! I need is this album, and everything that came before it.
@@mickmarsbar81 everybody has their opinion on music. This was the only AM! Album that I liked, but my father who was an OG goth and punk in 76 77 owned every album and couldn’t care less about what you think. When we met Against Me! They were the nicest people and were jealous of my fathers Lords of the New Church t shirt.
Mary Sue according to Laura in her book Tranny, he didn’t like it and he hated the cover of the album too. She mentions he said it in a way that really bummed them out and it played a huge part in why they went to Warner Bro’s for their next album.
This the former clarity ....problems ...money changes everything....I guess. Look at what was before and now we have the co conspirators here . When you guys throw the brick through the Starbucks window you can be sure their album will be playing inside ....they will be the ones leaving you all alone .... all alone .
Man, when this came out I was 9 years old... I've been reading Laura's biography and this song just makes captures how she described when feeling like a sell out, and having her own community push back against them. the repeated "you're losing touch" really hammers in how they where having this message constantly bombarded against them
Did people lose the meaning of this entire album? I don't want to take away from Laura Grace but this album had such deep meaning outside of the LGBT stuff
Cody Wirth his name is Thomas James Gabel, he was not Laura grace during this time. Don’t erase his past because of who she is now, I knew these guys before they signed with fat wreck and as much as I respect the hell out of them he was a awesome musician and deserves recognition before his departure.
@@daoust26 wtf are you talking about "his departure". She's always been a woman. Anyway, a lot of the songs back then, like Pretty Girls (The Mover) and Searching For A Former Clarity were about her being trans
“We want a band that plays loud and hard every night That doesn't care how many people are counted at the door That would travel one million miles and ask for nothing more than a plate of food and a place to rest” Yeah , what happened? I guess “money changes everything “.
I agree 100%. This album and everything before are friggin masterpieces, then I bought New Wave the week of release and to this day I’ve never been more disappointed in my life.
IMO this album was the start of their downfall and they just got worse and worse. Pains me to say it because their first two albums were classics. But those two were produced by Rob McGregor. Now they sound like some shitty ass Green Day ripoff.
Lol okay this album is amazing it offered more studio time at their discretion but hey to each their opinion I remember hearing new wave and not feeling it but searching has so much going for it Hell on hindsight even more
Man, that voice sure is something! Used to rock out to this as a teen and now almost 40 it still hits the same in 2024!!
I saw against me open for nofx during the eternal cowbow era...
What a show

@@ethanmunoz7109 and now i feel old
Fuck I'm old!
I crowd surfed for my first time seeing them during SXSW in Austin like 12 years ago maybe.. getting old blows.
2021 and it's still fucking jammin. love this band
Respect
Sup from 2022, almost 2023 :D
2023 I've been rocking this song for almost 2 decades
Well here's 2024
This song still rocks in 2022.
I was twenty something when I first heard this. I'm nearing goddamn 40 now.....this song fucking kicks
Just saw them in Gainesville Florida last night and Laura Jane Grace still sounds and plays this amazing. Absolute Legend.
Just an amazing tune it's held the test of time
This song will be played at my funeral
this fkn band even rocks in 2023... i want to see them so badly....
me too, Laura does solo tour and it's amazing but it would be so Rad to see against me! play
Why am I just hearing this?
This shit bangs
good to see them be goofy every once in awhile
they're even less serious now, that Laura is a happier person now.

First time I heard this was blown away, all-time favorite!!! 😃
Bro this is deep
I still believe this is there best work.
Please listen
This was mine and my best friends drinking jam.
Tom has such a good voice
How is Fat Wreck Chords going to censor this song?
What do you mean?
Probably because the video was originally made for MTV and had to be censored. I don’t think TH-cam was a thing when this video was made.
Why the f would Mike do that in the first place?
Seen him in skirts more than pants for the best part of last decade.
He didn’t censor it. Most videos from this era only had an MTV version.
@@stza16 they dont know what that is
Such an amazing song
2023 and this song and band just keep building relevance
Greatest song ever.
jesus I love it ..I wish I was 18
amazing. so underrated
2024 still a banger !!🎉
ya was just wondering awesome band will support them no matter what
2023 !!
For anyone just learning guitar...this is literally the easiest song in the world to play. Regular D, G, A. 50% of the song is just D. Seriously.
The song is so great considering.
Fitting for song about not being pretentious...
Four on the floor keeps people moving...
So are most popular songs. Look up four chords.
U lost touch
So fucking good.
Bro showed me this when it came out mainly because of how unconnected the drummer’s head looked (back then at that quality).
Downloaded the song instantly.
First time I saw against me! she was already Laura Jane... in Gainesville... and man what a fucking show.
Amen !!! Me too !
I always thought the drummers head looks like it’s just floating and not attached to his body in this video. Maybe some sort of optical illusion?
Why do they keep clipping in flipped shots of them playing their instruments righty and then lefty? Distracting. Is that the “audience manipulation in rock music?”
Against me is a great band
Took me 2 years to remember the name of this song and band
Searching for a former clarity was in my opinion Against me's best album
Reinventing Axl Rose for me.
You are on drugs. Hard ones. If you think that it's as if you've never heard any other AM album.
New Wave for me.
Transgender dysphoria blues
Late to the party, but my vote goes to As the eternal cowboy.
beautiful song.
cheers from athens
pirates
You're coming off kind of contrived and pretentious
You're not saying anything we haven't heard before
You're caught up in an argument
Oh, you're so lost in modern art
You were losing all and you will find again
Don't lose touch
Don't lose touch
S.O.S. text you from a cell phone
Please tell me I'm not the only one
That thinks we're taking ourselves too seriously
Just a little too enamor with the inflated supra bastion
Oh, talk is cheap and it doesn't mean much
Don't lose touch
Don't lose touch
I'm losing to-o-ouch! (oh-oh-oh!)
Oh, I'm losing touch
Well, I'm losing touch
Well I'm losing to-o-ouch! (oh-oh-oh!)
Oh, I'm losing touch
Well I'm losing touch
Constant entertainment for our restless minds
Constant stimulation for ever appetite
Is there something wrong with these songs?
Maybe there's something wrong with the audience
Manipulation in rock music
Fucking nausea
I'm losing to-o-ouch! (oh-oh-oh!)
Well I'm losing touch
I'm losing touch
Well I'm to-o-ouch! (oh-oh-oh!)
And it's obvious
What a fucking jam. Goddamn
First time seeing this video, whyyyy
The last truly GREAT Against Me! album. I don’t care what anyone says, Searching For a Former Clarity is a masterpiece.
Put some respect on New Wave and Transgender Blues lol
@@IBESMusic94 No thank you. New Wave is a terrible album, and the Laura show period is just one long yawn fest. The only Against Me! I need is this album, and everything that came before it.

@@MrKurtfinn what?!?
The Fat Wreck Chords era was so fucking good
The drummer’s head looks like it was added in later digitally.
I'm just going to say it...I miss this Against Me!
First viewer. wow, these guys are actually really good.
💓
The description of this video goes against what Fat Mike thought about the album.
what did they think? thanks for replying
Mary Sue according to Laura in her book Tranny, he didn’t like it and he hated the cover of the album too. She mentions he said it in a way that really bummed them out and it played a huge part in why they went to Warner Bro’s for their next album.
@@runkpock9207 thank you for the info!
@@runkpock9207The book is really good. So much information!
Fat Mike had a somewhat flavor to his roster as he called it the fat wreck style which against me didn't have.
Ughhh they used to be so awesome.
How does that guy not get a sore throat after each gig?!
emily is away too. evelyn's bio. i love this game
What does this mean
They’re all ambidextrous! Right?
❤❤❤❤❤
Talk is cheap...and it doesn't mean much! ☮️
ironic, cuts synced up to the bass drum kick
ironic and literal actually
How is it ironic or literal?
"Up The Cuts"...
When you were here before ps3

Lady Of Dawn crawl back under your progressive rock, you don’t know jack shit about anything.
You don't just become a women if you are MTF trans you just start presenting on the outside how you always were on the inside...
@@daoust26 She was always a woman. Try to change my mind.

My theme song
Def something wrong with the audience. Look at the world lol.
Just a little to enamored with inflated self-purpose, talk is cheap!!!
“We want a band that plays loud and hard every night
That doesn't care how many people are counted at the door
That would travel one million miles and ask for nothing more than a plate of food and a place to rest”
Yeah , what happened?
I guess “money changes everything “.
Poverty isn't romantic. Integrity doesn't pay the bills.
When your here because of the ps3 tracks
?
What track?
Sad that all of the Against Me! albums went downhill after this one.
I mean, this one wasn't very good compared to prior albums.
Tom Ryan Reynolds
Jim Carrey's new band sounds great!
LMAOOOO
But now she's Caitlin Jenner
Love this line up of “guys”
Usually the masculine ones don't transition
why is there a dog
I love against me!!
If she's taking hormones it may affect her voice, at least a little I think, but I don't think that's a big deal.
estrogen intake doesn't affect your voice, only testosteron
Yeah, once your voice drops you can’t undrop it
What the dog doing?
Walking around. Probably looking for sausages.
It's funny cuz they were losing touch. And it was obvious.
Who is not afraid to say they prefer tom to Laura
What do you mean? They're the same person. Laura is the same singer she was back then
@@Antonio1950 perhaps you didn’t get my point? I understand they’re the same person. You’re dense aren’t you?
Then why say Tom and Laura and not just Laura?
@@Antonio1950 cause he’s tom
@@lorenmeans4463 she is not Tom. She is and was always Laura
This is peak against me, they went downhill fast after this album. Thomas had a ton of demons and it was noticable.
To say the least.

The satrt as in their first "bad" album or their last "good" album?
@@tristanreynolds5135 First bad album IMO.
Lol okay this album is amazing it offered more studio time at their discretion but hey to each their opinion I remember hearing new wave and not feeling it but searching has so much going for it
Hell on hindsight even more
They should bring this singer back and get rid of the chick they have now.
feeshunter hgfgcgfg it’s the same person lol
She's always been the lead singer.
LMFAO, seriously? 🤣🤣🤣
I'm sorry you're not so bright. 😞
The sex change will not affect his voice.
JorSex her voice ?
laura's a lass lmao
JorSex correct
this is not good... sorry.
Oh sorry i wasnt aware
Ill stop listening i guess
