its amazing how much emotion he puts into his songs
It’s just to bad he can’t stay on key to save his life…. That being said, I love the songs brand new writes.
When people ask me how to describe Emo, I have then listen to this track. The song title, lyrics, it has everything.
I don't think he looks bored at all personally. If you watch him through, he smiles and laughs. Plus, if he was bored, he probably wouldn't have done it without the mic and done the conductor movement. :) It's all about how he presented the song. Look at 4:07-4:20. It's really quite adorable.
+Zach Broseidon you have responded to one of my statements, friendo. :0 I have a few others but cool cool. Hope you at least can be happy about the new song to brighten up your sourness.
The glare in the beginning is a glare of someone wanting to hurt someone. The song hurts him.
Love this song. Brand new amaze me because they write the most bitter lyrics (for some of their) songs and make them sound so beautiful.
he looks so sad :(
I'd give anything to be able to see them like this!
I am heaven sent
Don't you dare forget
I am all you've ever wanted
What all the other boys all promised
Sorry I told
I just needed you to know
I think in decimals and dollars
I am the cause to all your problems
Shelter from cold
We are never alone
Coordinate brain and mouth
Then ask me what it's like to have myself so figured out
Wish I knew
I hope this song starts a craze
The kind of song that ignites the airwaves
The kind of song that makes people glad
To be where they are
With whoever they're there with
This is war
Every line is about who I don't want to write about anymore
Hope you come down with something they can't diagnose
Don't have the cure for
You're holding on to your grudge
Oh, it's so hard to have someone to love
And keeping quiet is hard
Cause' you can't keep a secret
If it never was a secret to start
At least pretend you didn't want to get caught
We're concentrated on falling apart
We were contenders
Now we're throwing the fight
I just want to believe
I just want to believe
I just want to believe, in us
We're so controversial
We are entirely smooth
We admit to the truth
We are the best at what we do
And these are the words you wish you wrote down
This is the way you wish your voice sounds
Handsome and smart
Oh, my tongue's the only muscle in my body that works harder than my heart
And it's all from watching tv
And from speeding up my breathing
Wouldn't stop if I could
Oh, it hurts to be this good
You're holding on to your grudge
Oh, it hurts to always have be honest with the one you love
Oh, so let it go
We're concentrated on falling apart
We were contenders
Now we're throwing the fight
I just want to believe
I just want to believe
I just want to believe, in us
We're concentrated on falling apart
We were contenders
Now we're throwing the fight
I just want to believe
I just want to believe
I just want to believe, in us
This is the grace only we can bestow
This is the price you pay for loss of control
This is the break in the bend
This is the closest of calls
This is the reason you're alone
This is the rise and the fall
We're concentrated on falling apart
We were contenders
Now we're throwing the fight
I just want to believe
I just want to believe
I just want to believe...in us
I miss brand new
this song is the epitome of lyrical genius
1:45 "so high"
They are so amazing! This song sends chills up my spine EVERY SINGLE TIME!!
It breaks my heart that these guys are done. But, i respect them not playing or writing music they don't deem worthy.
Has it really been 5 years since then? Wow, glad I got to see them when I had the chance
Do you not know why they stopped? Google Jesse legacy. You’ll have better idea
"alright guys we're gonna do this without a mic"
aaawesooome
It’s been 14 years… feeling old AF
At least your now old enough to say they don't make them like they used too
I bring up Brand New in countless concerts n related music events i go to..nobody has ever had a bad word.
Thr flex of ppls finger to a phone screen jus dont match the energy of confronting them w that same topic in person.
Glad Jesse still being spotted in the wild, doin lil shows w his own lil crew & catalog.
I find it ironic cancel culture worships kanye who publicly hates entire races, sells rags for a furtune & tries his best to oppose his own kind, isnt that odd😂
I love this. So much.
Finally a video where the crowd doesn't ruin this song.
Thanks for posting this! One of the coolest gigs i've been at! Nice to see it again!!
my fave performance of "tommy gun." jtl's good mood about the no mic thing is awesome, makes for a great performance.
best part is how hes looking into the distance at the beginning. just thinking about the motivation behind this song
I love the fact how he acks all mellow without a mic. I love this song!
1:35 He happens to look into my soul, know all my secrets and kill me in a fleeting second.
Holy shit!!! I love this band!!!!
whoever gasped at heaven sent... I feel you. aha oh jesse.
I cried...and I'm a hardcore metalhead........
so good. the mic break helped that part of the song.
Geeze louise. 5 people must have fluff in their ears,..this is beautiful (:
He's just... too amazing for words.
Jesse Lacey = Lyrical genius. His voice is the only thing that could turn me gay
Fun fact, the picture in the background was taken after they played this song 🤯
He sounds a lot different live, and looks a lot different then on like google and stuff , I still love Brand New though
I just wanna believe... in us.
This is pretty interesting. It kinda sounds like if the song was released on The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. Or at least that's what it sounds like to me
Absolute shivers down my spine
he is amazing
awesome song!
this made my day
I just realized I have the same brand acoustic guitar as Jesse Lacey. Hell yes.
THIS is so awesome!
i kind of like this more than the album version :P
@Grim Ripper, have you ever been to any concert ever? He is not at all bad live. He's almost perfect. I hope your just joking because what you said is soo wrong
goddamn, i would sell my soul to satan just to stand next to Jesse for a fleeting moment
i am heaven sent
fucking beautiful :')
pretty sure he's wearing the same outfit as the promo poster behind him
Jesse kicks ass despite totally not wanting to be there haha. At first he's looking around like jesus what time is it I wanna get outta here, then 4:48 he's like ok ok let's wrap this up.
If you're name is Jesse GOD Lacey, you can do everything you want.
why is jesse not my boyfriend and why arent they currently touring in america
He reminds me of Jason Segel.
@MemelJR LOL most big headed rockstars would think twice about making that kind of mistake. in fact he's wearing the same shirt for a lot of thumbnails of different videos from different places on the suggested videos sidebar
looks like roy keane in the thumbnail
Jesse vs John: who won the lyrical feud?
still a fucking good song!
@TheWinterShoreline NO DOUBT!
Can i come?
whathappened at 3:26? haha
Hahaah i thought there was a guy that looked like Jesse in the sitting in the background and it is him hahha
2 people aren't glad to be where they are
I dont like the sudden rock change around the 2 minute mark, a full acoustic version would suit this music style better.
Alot of times when you tour for awhile you learn to only pack a few things and wear same shit for most of tour 'cause I'm sure you pick up shirts and shit along way
fuck, hope so much they will come back to europe someday
How does he look bored at all????
EPIC
So... Um.. me vs maradonna vs elvis ... Kinda hits a tad differently now huh?
lulz, he looks so enthused at the beginning of the song
yo look at his face/eyes as this video starts. Can you hear what he's saying? Again at :36.
"Fuck my life...I have to sing this song again. I'm going to be singing this for you assholes for the rest of my life."
think of the gravity of that for a second. Now think about how (more than likely) you feel when you hear those opening chords. You look @ your friend like " >_>, who put this on"....and then at 3:27 you're all going insane. Time just flashed before my eyes.
haha just scrolled down to say exactly the same thing.
@TheSkankasaurusrex your name is adequate for a comment like this
because they're touring in england! fuck yeah! bristol tomorrow night
😍😍😆
@e1kie Lol what do you care? They can cuss of they want. At least they like good music, so leave them alone, bro.
its actually a fun song to play on acoustic guitar!!! But his singing isn't great on this video on some parts. But still a great song.
3:25 lmao
I think he means the camera man...
I saw them in February and it was completely different to this. Just watch this:
/watch?v=YLQufOlBWlE
He talked, laughed and gave an amazing, raw and truly beautiful perfomance!
2018
over the years jesse looks sadder and less enthusiastic
He doesn't look like he wants to be there...
Honestly...I'm not even sure that's the same shirt.
man, you're name really suits you, doesn't it? lol
I wanna marry him to.....and i iz straight.......BRO MARRIAGE
@brittnitalent haha he looks bored!
i like the studio version better, acoustic doesn't do this song justice
@jefftran1 walmart..5 pack.
Jesse is probably looks so bored because they recorded this song when he was 20-21, he probably can't relate to it anymore and has to sing it just to keep his fans happy.
Sunny Chaubey You have literally no idea what you're talking about.
Lol to the drummer. Probably charming some chick in the back.
Like Brand New watch our new video (Kids of tomorrow)
Love it, but this might be the worst one I've seen lololol
He looks bored
this is pretty bad compare to some of there other performances. they look like they don't wanna be there
Oh man he seems so bored... thats the first time ive noticed him actually looking really bored and tired of what his doing.
Anyone want to discuss the elephant in the room?? Jesse's voice is completely out of tune. His inability to sing well live saddens me, as I love their albums and BN is one of my favorite bands. He is very much off key, i notice this often in his live performances. must piss off his bandmates, as the guitar players backing vocals are spot on.
+Ryan O'Mara I disagree he's mostly on pitch when he sings, he does a lot of spoken word style improvisations. It doesn't bother me though.
He's not off key, hes hitting other notes in the key. I'm so sorry you're tone deaf Ryan.
he's not off key at all,he just changed the melody without leaving the original key which makes the whole thing sounds more interesting
studio magic...god they are bad live
the scream at 4:32 was fucking terrible man.
did you notice he's wearing the same shirt on the poster of himself behind him?
I did but then i looked closer and I think it's actually a different shirt. The pattern on the poster has denser red sections, the one he's wearing has blue in it.
