This is from 2006. Music videos and singles were a much big part of selling music back then, as you'd watch music video shows, and hear a song you like/see a video you like, and were more likely to buy the record. This doesn't happen nearly as much anymore, especially with more niche bands/music and so there isn't as much pressure to have a good video.
Music videos are very lazily done or layered with a gazillion effects on a performance. That is what most major labels dictate as attractive enough and it fits the modern day perspective of music no longer being relevant to MTV or other platforms showcasing music in a audiovisual format.
Friend (who almost exclusively listened to rap) recently texted me “What was that song that said ‘hey hello, how are you? Like your shoes. Love your hair!’” and reminded me of this after like 10+ years. Time flies.
December 2022, almost 2023, and I keep coming here sometimes. Man, it's been a long time! At the time I loved this trumpet solo, and I still do! Nostalgic...
It's honest. I found this during kind of a musical slump. I couldn't find anything that I liked. They keep such a positive vibe performing this even when they're singing such depressed lyrics. I love that sense of humor. It's the happiest sad song I've ever found.
I saw this video once while i was sick and it made me feel great. i couldn't see very well though and i missed the band name. so happy i found it finally!
i got this song on a CD that came with my hellogoodbye CD and i gotta say...i love this song! :D its so awesome. thats all i seem to listen to on my ipod anymore
The name of the actor pushing the lawnmower with the cheesy wave at the beginning of the video is Anthony Lewis Vitale google his name to see his other film credits and videos. Cool video by the way!!!!!!
they might be having a reunion tour! i read om wikipedia! just google the band and click on the first wikipedia one! and in june they're selling a CD/DVD or their last show! im excited!
this back is sick. i love them, i have to admit i dont know all their songs but the ones i do know are good, so people who dont like them why are you one here postin shit ?? any one know where i can get their albums ive tried everywhere ?????
I KNOW ACE,, he really,,, my sister and jenn,,(ace whife and manager for The early november) they worked at the same job before,, and now they are just friends,, so ace and jenn wen't over to a party at my sisters neighbour,, and i was invited there,, so he signed my album:D and said that i looked like him when he was younger
1.honestly for the 6 strings on a guitar and the 100's of years its been played theres endless acounts of songs using the same melodies and souding like others but in all honesty its more than the melody that makes a song a song..example: vanilla and queen, mad contravercy about ice ice baby but one note was different so they couldnt do anything..bullshit sure but thats music.
@OlfrrrBunny That's exactly what this song isn't about man. It's about how everyone who's like this isn't really like this. They all have their own problems and it's not their fault if they aren't constantly cheery, fake facades. Let people be themselves, and you can't brighten everyone's day, cause we're all fighting our own battles and figuring oursevles out.
How.. how can I possibly know every word to this still after so many years?!? 🥰
only beautiful people know these lyrics duhhhh 🙄
It's catchy
I still remember every word. Haven’t thought about this song in years. It’s 2024. Love this. It’s like bumping into an old friend.
2006 was such a good year.
I feel like the music industry has a bigger budget for music videos (in general) back then. Videos like this are so creative!
Not much to do with budget considering it's an indy band on an indy label

This song may forever live rent free in my mind. Its welcome.

Here's your 2024 reminder to listen again :D hope you're having a wonderful day
The way Ace says, "it's nice to see ya" always makes me smile.
shoot... underrated era... I wish I knew at the time that this would resonate so much 18 years later and in a completely different part of the world
The trumpet solo? That's what make this band unique. I like them.
11years, and I just now realized that this music video's theme was the move "The Truman Show"
I’ll never forget hearing this shit as a 15 year old kid on all kinds of people’s Myspace pages.
Time sure does fly.
I just discovered this video, and I don't understand how I managed to live my 15 years without it.
2024 and here we are, I'm gonna cry😭😭😭❤
I looooooove this song!!!
The video reminds me of The Truman Show, oddly enough. I love it.
omg. i loooove this video!!
this is my myspace song :) my friends all love it and think its so me :)
i love this song.
it just makes me happy.
I spent 4 freaking yrs looking for this song lol I finally found it!!!

Still listening in 2019
Same. Still gets me when I feel down. The song is about faking a smile when you're depressed as hell.
Listening to this in 2022 and beyond!
happy november ✨
i nvr get tired of this song or video
they must have had so much fun making this video!
love all the happiness . love the song
They remind of me early Relient K stuff.
love this song
thats exactly what i was thinking when i clicked on the video lol

the lead singer IS ace enders.
and that would have been his solo project that you saw
'ace enders and a million different people'
I saw this video once while i was sick and it made me feel great. i couldn't see very well though and i missed the band name. so happy i found it finally!
i got this song on a CD that came with my hellogoodbye CD and i gotta say...i love this song! :D its so awesome. thats all i seem to listen to on my ipod anymore
For some reason this would've seemed like a good episode for the twilight zone

The name of the actor pushing the lawnmower with the cheesy wave at the beginning of the video is Anthony Lewis Vitale google his name to see his other film credits and videos. Cool video by the way!!!!!!

oh I enjoyed the trombone solo in there, nice change of pace
the early november is a great! band
and that same strap we see on Ace all the time! plus the striking resemblance gotta be him! [sarcasm. lol]
Haha, This is a cool song :D
because wikipedia is always right!
My little brother use to sing this song to annoy me when we were little
lol this song reminds me of my english teacher for some reason xD
sairaanum, there not new I have had this CD, for bout 2 yrs now
I KNOW ACE,, he really,,, my sister and jenn,,(ace whife and manager for The early november) they worked at the same job before,, and now they are just friends,, so ace and jenn wen't over to a party at my sisters neighbour,, and i was invited there,, so he signed my album:D and said that i looked like him when he was younger
1.honestly for the 6 strings on a guitar and the 100's of years its been played theres endless acounts of songs using the same melodies and souding like others but in all honesty its more than the melody that makes a song a song..example: vanilla and queen, mad contravercy about ice ice baby but one note was different so they couldnt do anything..bullshit sure but thats music.
this is the capital wasteland pre-war.
underneath the happy tune... the lyrics actually have meaning. can't say that 4 everything u hear
I actually thought their new cd was an improvment, I liked their old stuff as well, but I really enjoyed their latest album alot more.
they broke up, ace enders is doing a solo project, called Ace Enders And A Million Other People
Omg is that Jeremy Piven? I remember all these lyrics but not that he was in this.
this oldies? what year?
...sad how overlooked this video was
Musicians listen to, play, and write music. Fanboys argue.
Is that Jeremy Piven there in the video?

@SKAMANDO You took the words right out of my mouth man, was just about to post the same before I read your comment :) peace
at the end of the video, the dancer girl 'faints' before he turn them off lol
@serenduckity congratulations on making this comment 4 years ago
lmao!
he reminds me of bob...the enzyte(sp) guy.
Ace kinda looks like Jason Biggs =P Or maybe Jason Biggs and some other guy togheter =P
