I dont understand why people are complaining about this video. This just shows that Andrew is truly a modest person and doesn't crave or even want the attention he has been given. He just wants to go out there and share his music. He isn't going to conform to what society wants like whatever is happening with the so called "top 40" songs. Everyone has their own opinion but we can all agree that Jack's Mannequin and Andrew especially are/is extremely talented in everything they do.
I think this might just be my favorite Jack's video. I know it's getting a lot of negative attention and some people find it way too cynical, but it's so brutally honest and really gave me a feel for what this song's really about. Absolutely amazing. I hope others are able to see this video the way I did.
Oh Andrew. He is truely one of the greatest writers of our time. I see this song as a protrayal on the obvious repition or "same old thing" that the industry likes to push. I see this as "I'm moving forward. I'm moving another direction. Try and keep up". Jack's Mannequin really does music right.
Jacks Mannequin never really hit the mainstream I dont think. And neither did his next attempt (Andrew Mcmahon in the Wilderness). Which is a shame because I love every single thing he does.
This video is so, so well put together. I find the message quite..confronting. It's like he's saying he doesn't want this - the popularity, the expectations, everything that goes along with his fame anymore and that really makes me incredibly sad.
Wow... it amazes me how everything, all the songs and videos, Andrew does always spell out my life. This one came out at the perfect time, I really saw myself in it... To Andrew, thank you for another song that I know will help me through
This song/video describe exactly how I'm feeling right now in my life. I've been stuck in this rut for over a year, doing the same seemingly important but actually meaningless things over and over...same s**t different day. It just feels like your life is on repeat. A very mediocre repeat at that. Then one of those different days comes along where most of what we've been doing doesn't really matters to us anymore. And there's no way we can be free or released of it...unless we let go.
Andrew always wears those type of clothes! He's always true to himself and doesn't care about his image! This is one of the best music videos from this band! I would rather spend their money on touring and creating new music than music videos anyways!
I love this video! it may not fit what a lot of people pictured the song to be about in their heads but if you watch Andrew on "Release Me" it fits what the song is about for him
i still find myself going back to the old albums because of the difference in the lyrics... this song and restless dream (in my opinion!) were the only songs that even came close to those... like look up lyrics of amy, i and put those next to swim or rescued. that being said, i still support andrew through everything he does and the video was pretty cool :) especially the end
This video and song is amazing. I also have a crush on Andrew. (Yeah, I'm gay for Andrew) I disocvered Jack's Mannequin on Pandora around 2007 and love everything he's done so far.
You know how when someone is speaking and they sound a little raspy, and you subconsciously start clearing your own throat as if it's your own voice that sounds that way? Well I kept reaching up to push my bangs out of my face, even though they're pulled back today. I couldn't help it the whole time I was watching, haha.
In the song I'm Ready, he says "When did society decide that we have to change or wash a T-shirt after every individual use? If it's not dirty, I'm gonna wear it."
A lot of artists do it to become famous, but the main reason for it is to have funding to make music in the first place. Andrews first band, Something Corperate, was much bigger than Jacks Mannequin, yet he quit it because he wanted to make a different form of music. I do not see Andrew as being whiny, how can you? "You've got to swim, don't let yourself sink, just fallow the horizon, I promise it's not as far as you thing." Listen to more than just this song.
THE POINT OF THE VIDEO IS THAT HE SIMPLY IS DONE WITH ALL THE THINGS OTHERS FIND IMPORTANT LIKE THE FAME,THE CASH AND THE GLAMOR BECAUSE ALL AND ALL ,ITS ABOUT THE MUSIC AND THE LOVE FOR IT AND LIVING YOURE OWN LIFE.YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND NOW BUT YOU WILL WHEN YOU REALIZE EVERYTHING AROUND YOU IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS.
I met andrew, he is the chillest fucking people ever he is really sweet and uber nice we chatted and stuff when he did a concert here in fort collins at the Aggie Theatre and is a great person with great talents.
I love the new stuff, but I have to agree that this isn't one of my favorites on the album. That said, I haven't heard a bad Jack's Mannequin song yet. Just some I love and some I really, really love.
Lol, probably. I didn't say I expected anybody to care, I just made a simple observation. But there is always music to be written on any subject and there is an endless amount of beautiful things to write about. Regardless if anyone reads or hears it. Why is your name about freezing when you have a picture of the flame alchemist?
Ok, I'll give you Casting Lines haha forgot about that one. I'm not even saying the album's bad (every song has at least 20 plays) I mean it's jack's mannequin, it cant be bad... I just meant as a whole I felt the lyrics were more genuine. maybe it was just that they were easier to relate to
...The cancer happened at the beginning of Jack's; it had nothing to do with him retiring the moniker. He just wanted to put out music independently under his own name and felt the Jack's name had told its story. And Jack's Mannequin doesn't have a new EP: Andrew does. Two of the members from Jack's are in his current band, but he has three new members in his band as well.
I remember going to Warped Tour, i forget the year... i went to go see Jacks because i loved Something Corporate and at the time Dark Blue was a really great song for me and i was super excited to see them play. I remember getting there going to the little stage that was set up for them and i found out they couldnt attend because of the fact that hed just gotten cancer. I still always wished i had a chance to see them live. I saw senses fail live that day, they put on a great show as well. that was a good Warped tour. that was the Warped tour where A7x went full singing also because of his throat.
I would argue that point, that is not true of all artists. It is true,(as I said) artists need funding to make their albums, but it is not true their main intention is to make money and go places. Example of a band more interested in music than any other: The Beatles. The Beatles went as far as to create their own record company.
I........was so thrilled when I was this in my Subscription box. However, this video just doesn't do the song any justice. I prefer the People and Things short movie for Release Me.

Because people don't know what real music is. Show's what the radio does to people.

First time in awhile that a music video has actually fulfilled its purpose and helped me understand a song's meaning better
Oh Andrew. He is truely one of the greatest writers of our time.

Why doesn't this have more views?

I love Jack's Mannequin. He's golden and perfect.
This video is so, so well put together. I find the message quite..confronting. It's like he's saying he doesn't want this - the popularity, the expectations, everything that goes along with his fame anymore and that really makes me incredibly sad.

This video published on my birthday, one of the best presents ever. I love you.
Andrew looks so handsome in this Jack's Mannequin music video.
I am proud to say that the day I turn eighteen, "Release Me" will be tattood onto my body. Thank you, Jack's Mannequin.
Just following up to see if you did this or not.
seriously how can you make and end a relationship with better music
What it tells me is that, Meaningless repetition in life is a not so good of a life. :) thank you Jack's Mannequin - Release Me
this is beautiful.
What did we do to deserve the beauty that is Andrew McMahon
Baela ikr
jack's mannequin has the most comprehensible fans' comments/discussion on youtube

Incredible song, visually stunning, story telling, illustrates the lyrics....yet nicki minaj is more popular. FML.
Awesome video, just wish we had a moment of piano rock!
Andrew always wears those type of clothes! He's always true to himself and doesn't care about his image! This is one of the best music videos from this band! I would rather spend their money on touring and creating new music than music videos anyways!
He opened with this song at my concert last year... just amazing.
this song sounds so incredibly 90's
I love the message of the video! Life is one huge performance! It's beautiful! This is why I love Jack's Mannequin so much! ♥
This is the first song I listened to off of "People and Things". Love it.
I love this video!
it may not fit what a lot of people pictured the song to be about in their heads but if you watch Andrew on "Release Me" it fits what the song is about for him
I've been with u sense day 1 please do more. Underrated artist
i still find myself going back to the old albums because of the difference in the lyrics... this song and restless dream (in my opinion!) were the only songs that even came close to those... like look up lyrics of amy, i and put those next to swim or rescued. that being said, i still support andrew through everything he does and the video was pretty cool :) especially the end
Total opinion.... I think this is my favorite Jack's video to date

This video and song is amazing. I also have a crush on Andrew. (Yeah, I'm gay for Andrew) I disocvered Jack's Mannequin on Pandora around 2007 and love everything he's done so far.

Amazing.

AWESOME!!!

This is the heat
I love this band. Sounds a whole lot like the rocket summer.

1:35 he's using the exact notebook I use for songwriting. :D Yay
THE POINT OF THE VIDEO IS THAT HE SIMPLY IS DONE WITH ALL THE THINGS OTHERS FIND IMPORTANT LIKE THE FAME,THE CASH AND THE GLAMOR BECAUSE ALL AND ALL ,ITS ABOUT THE MUSIC AND THE LOVE FOR IT AND LIVING YOURE OWN LIFE.YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND NOW BUT YOU WILL WHEN YOU REALIZE EVERYTHING AROUND YOU IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS.
I like People And Things very much, but I still think The Glass Passenger is my favorite, his best album.
it's like with the release of this video he's almost making his break up of Jack's official and it just breaks my heart:(
That just made me really sad..
Amen.
love it
amazing, that's all there is to say!
Amazing, as usual! :D
I want to marry this song.
Deep
I met andrew, he is the chillest fucking people ever he is really sweet and uber nice we chatted and stuff when he did a concert here in fort collins at the Aggie Theatre and is a great person with great talents.
wow.
I love the new stuff, but I have to agree that this isn't one of my favorites on the album. That said, I haven't heard a bad Jack's Mannequin song yet. Just some I love and some I really, really love.
iam belive if they made more videos about this can be better or made more like this ones they need to made this better becasue they get this on it.,,
it is dirty! they keep spilling beer on his shirt!
Lol, probably. I didn't say I expected anybody to care, I just made a simple observation.

where the fuck have you been, so stoked to have just found this song
45k? wtf. COME ON
he deserves millions of veiws, fuck 33,000
ヒゲがあってもカッコいいけど、この時が最高にイケメン
Pretty crazy there breaking up
andrew seriously looks like steve rogers (captain america) in this. therefore, andrew mcmahon is captain america.
I still like him with dark hair. But he's cute as a blonde.
i was kinda iffy on the video at the beginning thinking it was kinda cheesy but then towards the end i was like "hmm that was actually good"
I wish he went back to do something more corporate
that guy at the end looked like he really wanted to give andrew the cup...
what do you mean ?.
Ok, I'll give you Casting Lines haha forgot about that one. I'm not even saying the album's bad (every song has at least 20 plays) I mean it's jack's mannequin, it cant be bad... I just meant as a whole I felt the lyrics were more genuine. maybe it was just that they were easier to relate to
thats "I'm Ready"
NOT MANY VIEW????? WHY

An alcoholic drink poured on it, yes, very clean.
Why can't it be?
Hold up. Did he just make this song and video about him giving up the title of his band? Holy smokes...
I would argue that point, that is not true of all artists. It is true,(as I said) artists need funding to make their albums, but it is not true their main intention is to make money and go places.
