Polaris, Work, 23, Just Watch the Fireworks, and Table for Glasses have all made me cry more than once in my life. So beautiful--such lyrical mastery sprinkled with that music and his voice?!?
@Greg Gotti - Which version are you referring to OR would you recommend? There are about a thousand options for "Jim Adkins - Polaris Acoustic" when searching....
" i feel that when im old, ill look at you and know.... the world was beautiful." gives me chills and literally brings me to tears everytime i hear this song. its crazy how just a few words can move the soul.
My sister gifted this album to me when I was in 6th grade. I learned every song by heart... I was feeling heartbreak I’d never actually experienced before. Now as I revisit it as a 27 year old, these songs mean even more to me than ever.
This song and this whole album was on repeat during the most horrible break up of my life. It was on repeat along with third eye blind. Some cold play. Few other bands. I wasted 5 years with the wrong woman and I was used up to the point of an attempted suicide from alcohol, the military broke me, I lost myself and I lost her, my family abandoned me, after the breakup she slept with all of my friends at least 3 of them, so that stung horribly, some friends right? I deleted them all from my life. 2017 was the darkest year for me. But I remember every morning before work I had my headphones on as I sat in my empty living room with my dog, I had polaris on, and somehow this song specifically carried me to get through another terrible ass day.
Been there, maybe not as bad as you, but also thinked about killing myself because a girl left me and did horrible things. Even though I loved her, she was not the correct person for me neither was I for her. Hopefully you are better now.
It’s 2023 and I’m in Paris for the first time in my life. Went to Gare du Nord and this song came back instantly. This album remains a very important part of my history. Polaris, 23, Work, Kill… got me through some tough times. Still a big fan.
how strange life is when you're 17 man, i can barely recall. it's staggering really. at 31 it feels so far away, and i have put on so many additional layers of self, or identity, or whatever.. who the hell was i back then?
Lefty SM is one of my favorite musicians and his music has helped me through so much. I wish he was around for me to say thank you. There are so many others that has gotten me through so much. Jimmy eats world is amazing too!😘😥👻👽
You know what I hate? The fact that people wont give a band a try by listening to one song. Taking nothing away from the middle but if someone heard Jimmy Eat World's other songs like this and Disintegration most of their songs wouldn't have less than a million views today.
farhan alam I think people just listeng what is pop, cause their melodies and notes are simples, but theres a lot of people who haves a better music taste and see more than just popular songs I meen they see the melodies, the lyrics, the chorus and the feels in the songs and I really enjoy knowing their taste (Sorry if I spell someting wrong or i made someting mistakes, I still learning about english and improving my writting)
This is my favorite song, then 23 and then Kill. To me they are about the same story, in order actually, first Kill which is about the insecurity of trying to be with someone, then Polaris about wondering without that someone and then 23 about trying to get over this person. The begging, the middle and the end. Such an amazing album and pretty much my favorite, even though Chase this light and Integrity Blues are also awesome.
I've been a huge fan of Jimmy eat world since 1998. I remember when I was 14, my friend gave me a cassette tape with "call it in the air" on it and I became obsessed! I didn't know the name of the song and search engines really sacked back then, so I went onto Napster and downloaded every song of them to find the name of that song. Then bought the cd because Napster only had really crappy quality Haha. Wow, I'm super old :/. Anyways, fan for life, They're absolutely amazing! Anberlin comes second. PS a praise chorus is awesome to sing at a karaoke bar lol.
This gotta be my favorite Jimmy Eat World. It is filled with emotions, from beginning to end. It is true what it says: "... when you go I let you be, but you are killing everything in me" When you love someone you let them go because it's their right to be free with whomever they want, even if that kills you inside. I want to go to the Gare du Nord station on Paris and listen to this song as a train arrives, this is a life goal for me.
''When you go il let you be'' one of the hardest things to do in life, it really is. Hence the lyric''your killing everything in me'' =( love this song
Am I the only one who thinks this song represents some of our lives in such a way that it will never will be fine? Its what this song makes me feel like.. It makes me think about so many things that happened in my life. Im sure there are more feeling this way :\
I'm in tears laying in my brother's bed. I have it at my apartment, I sleep I it. it is now my bed. my brother was my everything. he was younger. he died by suicide. I never faced it, and now over a year later it's constant panic and anxiety attacks, no appetite, no sex drive nothing. I am feeling lost all over again, then I hear this and I break down so hard.
I'm really sorry for your loss... I've never faced anything like this, so I may be no good in giving advice, but... Don't ever give up. Ever. Life is both horrible and beautiful, and there are events that can put ourselves to test our strength... But we must keep on going, even if we are weak, even if there is no more sense in anything, because, one day, some silver lining will appear (as cliché as this might sound). And you are not alone! There is always somebody to help you out, really. It´s going to be allright
Such a biographical song for me.....its been said that you only know true love one in a lifetime...my first love....I had to let go and for the last 35 years, she is still killing everything in me!

Notawesomeatall7 I think it's about a relationship ending, and he's saying that when the person leaves he will let her be, but he's going to be really hurt about it.

I feel that when I'm old
I'll look at you and know
The world was beautiful
Just Watch the Fireworks is a beautiful piece of art.
Look up Jim Adkins (the singer's) solo acoustic version of that song. It's fucking phenomenal.
Someone's THIRSTY! haha (@Andrew Bishop ^)

There's something really special about this album. Futures forever.
You are correct this is a special album. I remember how I discovered it via an episode of Smallville and I just love this album
Yeah All tracks are superb!
My sister gifted this album to me when I was in 6th grade. I learned every song by heart... I was feeling heartbreak I’d never actually experienced before. Now as I revisit it as a 27 year old, these songs mean even more to me than ever.
For sure; I’m 35 and I don’t think it’s an accident that I gave your comment the 35th like :)
True that white man from town. Futures is a really cool album. I remember playing it when it came out it was koo then 2

farhan alam I feel the same with 3rd Eye Blind.. I think both bands were severely underrated

@@TheMasterson87 TBF third eye blind was fucking huge.
Can't believe I struggled to find this song on here. Massively underrated. More people need to hear this tune!
Love this song. Such an underrated band.
geez between this song and 23, i cant pick a favorite.... both deep and emotional
Kill is right there behind it
Disintegration is my favourite
bosoxFANATIC83.
I think kill is amazing but they all are
Polaris, crush and 23 are literally my favorite songs of all time.. and they all happen to be by JEW
This is my favorite song, then 23 and then Kill.

Old... lol
This band along Anberlin and Hoobastank are pretty much my favortie bands.

Oh, the nostalgia of freshman year in high school. I recently graduated from college and am still blasting this song.
What do you mean be patient, it's kind of a long intro? The intro is the best part of this song. It sets the mood.
''When you go il let you be''
one of the hardest things to do in life, it really is. Hence the lyric''your killing everything in me'' =( love this song
brilliance... inspiration ....love.
This album is the BOMB! so many great songs in it including kill, 23, etc... I'm a drummer but i think the bass part is what gets me in this song :D
Such beautiful song... Everytime I listen to this, I just wanna burst in to tears...
oh god i ffucking love this song
Get down on your knees//Whisper what I need//Something pretty (something pretty)
SO PRETTY LYRICS I LOVE JEW!!!
Jimmy Eat World always makes me feel like im on a Lucid Dream
Infinite, sometimes
Paula Lampiasi omg me too 😂
I hear you man. Feels like there is shit we will always regret.
Best band. Nuff said
Isaac Lefevre word
"Gare du Nord" c'est mignon ;) Bon groupe !!
this song is so underrated its ridiculous
Just saw Jimmy Eat World in concert and they started with this :)
this is beautiful music
Perfection in all the word
I love jimmy eat world's long intros!
Be patient? Its a long intro?
You could wait all your life and never hear a song this good 8) 1 minute is nothing
You say that love goes anywhere, in your darkest time it's just enough to know it's there
The ending is so epic!
if i could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, this would be it. :) x x
Am I the only one who thinks this song represents some of our lives in such a way that it will never will be fine? Its what this song makes me feel like.. It makes me think about so many things that happened in my life. Im sure there are more feeling this way :\
JIMMY EAT WORLD !!!!!
Love this band
I've not known a song since I first heard this that makes me physically want to break down into a pool of tears. So many memories :(
Easily one of their best songs. Nothing will ever top Goodbye Sky Harbor though for me.
2021 here
A most excellent album 👏👏👏
que bella esta cancion, gracias por subirla
first time i heard it.another fav.now
fire
WHEN I GET MY FIRST CAR I WILL WAIT TILL MIDNIGHT AND PUT POLARIS ON FULL BLAST.
AbstractOrigins did you do it? Haha

I’m so sorry for your loss 💚
this song describes my highschool puberty years. god i love this song brings me bacj so much memory
You really, really, need to listen to their song "23." It literally, literally has 10x the emotional impact of this one, and that's saying a lot.
This song is in my main playlist.
When you go I'll let you be
but it's killing everything in me
...
I love Jimmy
I could listen to Jimmy eat world all day
Such a biographical song for me.....its been said that you only know true love one in a lifetime...my first love....I had to let go and for the last 35 years, she is still killing everything in me!
Infinite fucking Sometimes.
I can't wait to see them in May! :)
THIS IS SOO GOOOOD!!
anyone in 2020?????
this album WAS my teen years.
2020 anyone?
I think Jimmy Eat World catches the sadness of a teenager in ways that aren't desperately trying to
LOVE IT
is there a love button?
I have yet to hear a decent cover of this song....nobody can do it like JEW♡
Coheed's dark side of me did that to me the only song that's ever done it. I was flabbergasted lol
we love
my favourite JEW (LOL) song. when i first heard it i had it on replay for a month i think. literally. cannot belive this has so few views! ridiculous!
Hi I'm from 2016 :)
Joanna Hi I'm from 2017 ^w^
I'm from 2018 :)
@TheBazookaBunny Lucky! I saw them a few months ago and was hoping for this...though I new it was a long shot. But they did surprise me with Dizzy.
I've always been afraid
One tree hill brought me here.
terrible. . :(
Chasity Reule same
Chasity Reule at least you found your way here.
same here with "23"
It's Gare Du Nord, not gare de nord. Not hating, just saying.
me too... and now im 24 lol.

Anyone want to clarify what this song is about?
Notawesomeatall7 I think it's about a relationship ending, and he's saying that when the person leaves he will let her be, but he's going to be really hurt about it.
Thank you. Especially for not being a dick about it.
Lol you're welcome, I'm not 100 percent sure if that's what the song is about, but that's what I take from it. :)
like a squirrel needs a match outside
grab a sore soul if no mind it
so here we are now
damn
I remember to my girlfriend of my secondary school with this song, it's just perfect!
Something pretty...
sadly i know to many of them ):
@RosaiaLeaf me and you both!
