lol I knowwwww i dunno some ppl just seem to age because, I think, they dont grow into faces we conventionally associate with old or a certain age. Like I'm 36 and look pretty much same as i did when i was 20
Polaris has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever. This version, freaking incredible! Jim knocked it out of the park with that one! I second what someone else said here, I would LOVE to hear Kill.
Jimmy Eat World was a band that was AFTER my time! I was introduced to them around 2000 by a young band that I was recording in my studio in Atlanta. I really dug J.E.W., but it wasn't until the Damage record that I really LATCHED ON! And now I've listed to them more than any other band over the last 7 years. I've been blown away by the song writing, arranging, production....all of it! Simply my favorite band in the world, neck n neck with Toto. And that's some pretty amazing company for Jimmy to be in. THANK YOU GUYS for sharing your amazing gift with the world.
Brilliant, again. I'm a 37 year old bloke who's loved Jimmy Eat World for 20+ years, seen them about 10 times over the years and I still get excited for things like this. Cannot wait to go back to normal and hope you can come back to the UK soon, maybe another gig like Pryzm?
Woke up at 4am Philippine time to watch this with my cousin who’s in California. ❤️ Hope to catch another performance next week (even if I have to wake up that early to watch the premiere). 😉
My wife and I are big Jimmy Eat World fans. For Me This is Heaven was our wedding song. Watched this together and were so happy to hear Jim play it. Thank you!
Gotta love Jimmy Eat World! What an amazing group of musicians and performers! A very humble and appreciative group of guys that I've had the chance to meet several times after their shows for autographs and conversations.
Listening to Jim playing is such a refreshment during these tough times ❤ Would love to hear Over or Closer (or basically anything from Stay On My Side Tonight) some time soon!
Yes, bummer songs make me happy in a certain way as well, because someone has put to music what I'm feel'n so I go from bummer to happy to be understood.... ;) Thank you! #truelovefindsyouintheend #prayforone
Just a man and his guitar. Near perfect performance. So few artists these days could set up and perform like this. Greatly appreciated. I have loved Jimmy Eat World's sound since I first heard them. Makes me so happy that you are still performing and writing. And that Polaris performance was intense!
It will always by “The Jar” to many of us. Lots of matinee shows where Franco made you sell tickets to all your high school friends. Some of my fondest memories are between those four walls. Sounds great. Thanks for posting.
Saw Jim on his solo tour a bunch of years ago in London at the Union Chapel, a church with perfect acoustics and the setting was perfect. Wish that was recorded. Awesome awesome set.
Thanks for doing this. Beautiful songs, beautifully sung. Locked down in Britain and I doubt I'll ever get to visit the Rebel Lounge, but have ordered the shirt!
I met you guys in Leeds on the invented tour, you were so good that night and lovely, friendly unpretentious genuine guys. I got to hang with my heroes and you didn't let me down. Thank you for the amazing music Jim. X
Jim is the master of the acoustic taster setlist! These stripped down versions are a revelation: I knew you guys were artists in every sense of the word, but I'm revelling in every little nuance of vocals and chord progressions that have sometimes gone unnoticed on the originals. The outro to FMTIH was pure filth. Can't wait for more empty room gigs!
jims sound and lyrics capture nostalgia in a way that few bands do..their songs apply to my life today still, but I will always tie them to when I was growing, things were emotionally turbulent, my environment was still shaping me and life was slower. love these guys..their music is part of my identity
Since the very first self titled ;-) stuff, these guys have been my all time fav. So glad I got to see them live the few times they've come to my town. Keep these vids coming please to get us through this wacky times.
This is perfect. I'll tune in to everything the band does. But, for Jim to play my 3 favourite Jimmy Eat World songs in a row then follow it with one of my favourite songs ever is just something out of a film; dare I say it, "Movielike".
I am always amazed of how Jim sounds exactly like the studio versions. Also, this set is fantastic *cries in spanish* Thanks for making this quarantine bearable!
A long time ago in GBC in Anita's Set Demos (after singing Richmond Again) you mentioned you weren't really a sad guy "I'm not really talking about me". But damn did you write good lines for sad guys. You still do.
Jim, Thank you so much for doing these. They are absolutely amazing! I love every second of your music, and these solo-acoustic renditions are really beautiful. I can't wait for you to tour to my area in the future.
Great show! Thank you very much, with this amazing acoustic show Friday night just became awesome! Would be possible to hear Pol Rogers in the next acoustic? It is my wife favourite song. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this and the previous acoustic performances! :-) Your music plays a major part in the soundtrack of my life. ;-) These beautiful acoustic versions are balm for my soul in these uncertain times! Thank you again! God bless you all! :-)
Seen them in concert in the Bay Area since the early days. around 2 years took my wife and sister and we flew out to Denver just to see them. I remember the day we booked the trip, so random I was like we haven't been to a concert in a while, started looking up bands and I was like have you ever heard them live? As soon as they said now, I was like you need to see them life. Was one of the best concerts ive been too. Can't wait to go back and see 30 year olds in our old band T's haha
CAN YOU STILL FEEL THE BUTTERFLIES?
Ryan Anthony my fav JEW song!! ❤️❤️
Goosebumps. !carefulbutnotsure !whenthetimewehavenowends
Also, Ryan. Do you eat success for breakfast?
@@jarrodjob😅 yes! I can't tell how you much that means to me... MY GRANDMA RUNS FASTER THAN YOU AND SHE'S ONLY GOT ONE LEG
@@nfgatorgal mine too! Jim wrote that on my arm with a Sharpie at an acoustic show and I got it tattooed. I think it freaked him out lol
1:20 Chase This Light
5:25 For Me This is Heaven
9:44 Polaris
14:35 True Love Will Find You in the End (Daniel Johnston)
18:28 Love Never
Thanks!
great!
Thanks for this!
he just pulled out for me this is heaven and polaris, i may faint.
I went to my first Jimmy Eat World show in around 1999 (Nita's Hideaway Days), and it's funny- Jim hasn't aged a day!
Whoa. I haven't thought of Nita's in 20yrs ♥️
Jim is the Paul Rudd of the alternative scene
lol I knowwwww i dunno some ppl just seem to age because, I think, they dont grow into faces we conventionally associate with old or a certain age. Like I'm 36 and look pretty much same as i did when i was 20
Sorry *dont seem to age
I feel that when I'm old
I'll look at you and know
The world was beautiful
Great lyrics those
Polaris has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever. This version, freaking incredible! Jim knocked it out of the park with that one! I second what someone else said here, I would LOVE to hear Kill.
Play in 0.75x speed for a fantastic chill
Anything off of futures just puts a chill in me. One of the greatest records ever written front to back.
All the feels
Got the opportunity to see them live in 2018, they played Polaris and 23, and of course I cried. Only Kill would have made that concert more perfect.
Absolutely brilliant cover of Polaris
I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING. 21 minutes is NOT ENOUGH.
agree
I've always loved Polaris since Futures came out. Never thought I'd hear a live version 🥰 love from Ireland ❤️
Since it came out in high school this song always gets me deep in the feels, long drive on a highway at night.
Play in 0.75x
@@brenthunsaker5243 oh shit I bet.. 🤙
21 years later and all that I can think about is the snare production on For Me This Is Heaven.
It’s like…ALL room mic and it works so well. Thing sounds about 8” thick.
For Me This Is Heaven! Yasss! ♥️🙌🏻🙌🏻
One of my all time favorites! Made me tear up a bit.
My favorite too!! ❤️❤️❤️

"Be happy with the consequence with whatever's gonna happen tonight"
Just got dropped by my job, this is perfect. So glad I can see my favorite band in "concert" again
Woke up at 4am Philippine time to watch this with my cousin who’s in California. ❤️ Hope to catch another performance next week (even if I have to wake up that early to watch the premiere). 😉
Its good to see a fellow Filipino liking Jimmy Eat World!!! Hahaha
I’m the cousin 🙋🏻♀️
IT JUST TAKES SOME TIME
My wife and I are big Jimmy Eat World fans. For Me This is Heaven was our wedding song. Watched this together and were so happy to hear Jim play it. Thank you!
Gotta love Jimmy Eat World! What an amazing group of musicians and performers! A very humble and appreciative group of guys that I've had the chance to meet several times after their shows for autographs and conversations.
A Praise Chorus, please!!!!!!!!
Can't thank you enough for playing Polaris. That song means so much to so many of us ❤
Listening to Jim playing is such a refreshment during these tough times ❤
Would love to hear Over or Closer (or basically anything from Stay On My Side Tonight) some time soon!
I think that E.P is some of their best work, but all their work is good! Love pretty much every album. Over is one of my favourite tracks
Yes, bummer songs make me happy in a certain way as well, because someone has put to music what I'm feel'n so I go from bummer to happy to be understood.... ;) Thank you!
#truelovefindsyouintheend #prayforone
FMTIH is truly one of the greatest songs ever written IMHO, even in this stripped down version it is still a thing of such great beauty.
"BUMMER SONGS MAKE ME SORT OF HAPPY IN A WEIRD WAY."...I feel the exact same way.
Just a man and his guitar. Near perfect performance. So few artists these days could set up and perform like this. Greatly appreciated. I have loved Jimmy Eat World's sound since I first heard them. Makes me so happy that you are still performing and writing. And that Polaris performance was intense!
Thank you SO MUCH for doing this! You’re really making us feel amazing in these troubled times. Thank you!
Seeing these videos makes my day. I'll never get tired of Jimmy Eat World.
For Me This is Heaven was amazing, a true classic, love listening to Clarity on a calm night 🌑
You're keeping me going with these! So grateful for you to take the time to brighten your fans day! Would LOVE to hear 23 next time, pretty please!
It will always by “The Jar” to many of us. Lots of matinee shows where Franco made you sell tickets to all your high school friends. Some of my fondest memories are between those four walls. Sounds great. Thanks for posting.

It’s my 40th birthday today! So happy that even in isolation I can have my dream birthday :D How blessed!
well... happy birthday!!!
@@0L07 Thank youuuuu!!!!
Happy birthday!!
Happy Birthday!!
@Meghan H. Aw thank you! That is so sweet :) I clapped so hard!
Thanks for doing this.
Beautiful songs, beautifully sung.
Locked down in Britain and I doubt I'll ever get to visit the Rebel Lounge, but have ordered the shirt!
Futures is one of the greatest albums ever written. I'm in love with the ordinary as well my friend. Thank you for all the great music.
I met you guys in Leeds on the invented tour, you were so good that night and lovely, friendly unpretentious genuine guys. I got to hang with my heroes and you didn't let me down. Thank you for the amazing music Jim. X
Taa daa! There’s that.... there’s that.... hahaa i love it so much. Thank you for playing Polaris, this song got me through so much 💚✨
your videos by far win my Corona Virus stay at home boredom! Thank you for lifting spirits in hard times Jim!
I could listen to you sing Chase this Light everyday...Thank you for this!!!!
Huge effort for this. You're helping the iso blues big time.
Jim is the master of the acoustic taster setlist!

This is the best part of my week. Thank you so much for this.
Love you man, i'll never forget the time i met you guys in London.
“There’s that!” Lol you’re adorable
big ups to Rebel lounge, a great place to play (i deejayed there a few times). what up Jen!
For me this is heaven! My all time favorite JEW song ever.
How can 1 man have all the musical talent in the world?
These lovely videos remind me of Jim's solo tour ... that show in Durham was best concert I've ever seen. Thank you for making these!!
That transition from Chase This Light to FMTIH... Wow
You are one of the best rock-writers in the world music history.
Wow, this version of Polaris still brings the feels.
I can still feel the butterflies.
For me this is Heaven. Thanks for playing something from Clarity, Jim. Good meeting you in 2003. Hope you enjoyed the boiler room at BDO.
thank you for playing polaris
jims sound and lyrics capture nostalgia in a way that few bands do..their songs apply to my life today still, but I will always tie them to when I was growing, things were emotionally turbulent, my environment was still shaping me and life was slower. love these guys..their music is part of my identity
Cue "Here It Goes" for next week? The ultimate Jimmy Eat World anti-bummer song! You can't hear it and not get dance-y.
OMG! for me this is heaven, JEW greatest song and my favourite.
Thank you for these making each week better 🙏
Since the very first self titled ;-) stuff, these guys have been my all time fav. So glad I got to see them live the few times they've come to my town. Keep these vids coming please to get us through this wacky times.
Finally Polaris :)
Thanks again for the nice concert.
Would be nice if you could play 23, kill, hear you me the next time :)
14:10 'I'm only happy when it rains' would be a great bummer song to cover! Great idea Jim
God he played some of my most favourite song ever. For me this was heaven!!
Loving this all the way from Brisbane Australia 💙 can’t wait to buy tickets to see you when you come back
Chase this Light is such a beautiful album
Holy. Crap. POLARIS! Wow!!! That version was beyond amazing!
This is perfect.
I'll tune in to everything the band does. But, for Jim to play my 3 favourite Jimmy Eat World songs in a row then follow it with one of my favourite songs ever is just something out of a film; dare I say it, "Movielike".
This intro, Jim is such a lead singer in every way LOL I love this so much
I was raised on this band, couldn’t have asked for a better band to be raised on.
If I don’t let myself be happy now, then when? If not now, when?? 🖤🖤🖤
During that early COVID dark time, Jim and Jimmy brought the LIGHT!
Thanks for keep making music, it makes me and so many people very happy. I think I might have shed some tears listening to these streams.
This is literally giving me life right now 😭🥺
My soul could rest in peace if there was an acoustic album *le sigh*
Omg I live by rebel lounge, I never realised that there was even something resembling a scene here..
Chase This Light is so soul stirring!
You rock! Thank you for Love Never! Honestly one of my absolute favorites! Great message! Heart Is Hard To Find please!
I am always amazed of how Jim sounds exactly like the studio versions. Also, this set is fantastic *cries in spanish* Thanks for making this quarantine bearable!
Man Polaris was fantastic acoustic! Would be interesting to see how Just Tonight would sound acoustic as well!
But what song of theirs wouldn't?!
Jim still has it. So good
Unbelievably awesome!
Too much love for this, thanks for the help during the isolation Jim
A long time ago in GBC in Anita's Set Demos (after singing Richmond Again) you mentioned you weren't really a sad guy "I'm not really talking about me". But damn did you write good lines for sad guys. You still do.
Can't wait for July 15th in Seattle.
That acoustic arrangement of Polaris was sublime. Thanks Jim!
Haha! I'm Only Happy When It Rains... Perhaps you should learn it for next Friday!!! Really enjoying these Jim!! Keep up the awesome work!
This is awesome, keep it up! Authority Song would be great for the next one!
Whomever thumbs-downed this has no soul.
Can't believe you played Polaris!!! My absolute favorite Jimmy song. Thanks for doing this! Stay healthy to you and the rest of the band
This makes me smile so much ❤
Jim, Thank you so much for doing these. They are absolutely amazing! I love every second of your music, and these solo-acoustic renditions are really beautiful. I can't wait for you to tour to my area in the future.
Great show! Thank you very much, with this amazing acoustic show Friday night just became awesome! Would be possible to hear Pol Rogers in the next acoustic? It is my wife favourite song. Thank you!
Thanks Jim!!! So good to see your face. I hope it will happen in person fairly soon, after your tour stop here in August inevitably gets cancelled.
Thank you so much for this and the previous acoustic performances! :-) Your music plays a major part in the soundtrack of my life. ;-) These beautiful acoustic versions are balm for my soul in these uncertain times! Thank you again! God bless you all! :-)
The last song is my favourite ! Thank´s for playing Acoustic !
Absolutely the best version of this song. Just great! Chase this Light!
who’s crying, no, you are crying... *sniffles
Love this. Love to hear acoustic versions, this is so good...
5:28
C’mon Jim, we need this version of Polaris on Spotify now!
YES! im only happy when it rains cover please!!!!!
Seen them in concert in the Bay Area since the early days. around 2 years took my wife and sister and we flew out to Denver just to see them.

What an incredible performance. Thank you so much. Timing is everything. Would love to hear you play No Sensitivity. A girl can dream, can't she?
