Max Bemis is one of the best lyricists of the modern generation, and I can only pray that he continues to write music for the people who feel damaged and alone, so that they (eg myself and others) can feel like there are other people who have the same issues and are successful.
I went and saw them last November in Austin. I was front row and Coby tossed his drum stick to me but threw it short and it landed near the security guard. He picked it up and was going to give it to someone else but Coby tapped him on the shoulder, took it back, and handed it to me to make sure I got it. So fucking awesome. I love this band.
This song always brings tears. I think it has to do with the religious innocence, and the mixture of what pure true love is. It hits a place in me That is hard form me to display.
This Max Bemis raised me. My older bros windows media player and frostwire gave me the best musical foundation i could ever have. Had walk thru hell on a halo edition zune and I was the angtiest 11 year old. It was field day and I was just sitting in the sun listening to songs i didn't even understand.
I love the honesty, and extreme passion in this song. It's very lovely and I appreciate it. Not like in some " this is my song" kinda way because that's odd. I mean as a general fan of the music. Thank you.
You know when you put yourself out there... and they just leave you sitting out there all awkward and your just wanting them to say something... better yet just Say Anything. Love ya Max
So ticked I missed a say anything concert because they came on before their opener and we were running late. Hope i get to see them again theyre not coming to my town this time and damn these tickets be getting insane lately. I remember when concert tickets were diiiirt cheap. Ugh.
I have a special place in my heart for this line-up because it was the first way I knew them. But this same group plus Kenny Vasoli replacing Alex Kent is pretty bad ass.
@StellaRose12 hmmm thank you for supporting my view :) i think the whole album has to do with sort of faith. like listening to Fed to Death, he mentions things about "man from nazareth" "the cross" and one can't help but think, "is it about god?" but yeah listening to cemetery a lot more, i could draw ties between the two. :) an amazing song :D
i have this feeling that this song is about god, heaven and hell. cause they're lyrics like "you're in my body, that's where i think about you" and "there's a cemetery that's below the sea" (meaning hell) "there are places reserves for fools like me" (sinners) "and i'll face the one who made, my disgusting heart from a lump of clay, should he asked what got me through, if he asks me, it was you" - talking to god i could be reading too much into it though. what do you guys think?
Why aren't there more live performances from this band online! This and a bunch of acoustic performances are all I can find other than poop quality mobile phone recordings!
@ohxsoxadowablee it's his nick name for his wife sherri. he calls her spesh as in special maybe? idk but it's in her handwriting and she has one that says maxim in his.
I finally understand the lyrics "you're in my body." My best friend told me he has feelings for me. I'm waiting till he get's back to tell him in person that I feel the same. How should I do it?
okay, so on the album am I the only one who thinks the background parts are sung by a girl?? I always assumed they were but in this the acoustic guitarist is singing and its not exactly the same. anyone wanna clarify this for me please??
Well I mean Say Anything normally has a pretty prevalent drum presence on almost all their tracks, so I would say that is to compensate for that? Maybe?

Ten years later and it still hits the same..that counts for something haha

This set came out when I was a junior in high school. Almost 14 years ago. I still come back to it every couple months.
Thanks you found this
I watched this for the first time 2 years ago as a sophomore lol
I’m so glad he and Sherri found each other. The lyrics between the two of them, in their own bands or together, is novel/movie worthy.
Sherri, you changed his life. That man is inlove
this song has to be one of my favorites ever by them to this day and that's saying alot
All parts of this performance is just flawless from his vocals to the drums and bass and back singing. Say anything lives in 2021
You can really feel how Max generally pours his heart and soul into all his lyrics. This is one of the things that makes them so great, imo.
My favorite sa song behind where the hurt is. I love this band.
This song always brings tears. I think it has to do with the religious innocence, and the mixture of what pure true love is. It hits a place in me That is hard form me to display.
"As I drown in lakes of fire I will call your name as I expire " heavy stuff man
The Drummer Is amazing
Max's voice is absolutely incredible live now.
I love the faces he makes when he sings.
He's so cute. x3

Literally the best live praformance I have ever seen
Every time I hear Max perform live, I get chills and goosebumps.
I liked when they were all dressed like Peter Griffin.
2016 still one of my fave performances
2021 im still here u thought i was playin'
Lmao max bemis 2024. This is so good today and always
@@ninjasnipe 😂 mans was serious
Been my favorite band for a few years now
I love the honesty, and extreme passion in this song. It's very lovely and I appreciate it. Not like in some " this is my song" kinda way because that's odd. I mean as a general fan of the music. Thank you.
PERFECT Song. Man..its one of my favorites from these guys.
this song means so much to me, he and Sherri are so lucky to have each other
You know when you put yourself out there... and they just leave you sitting out there all awkward and your just wanting them to say something... better yet just Say Anything.
Love ya Max
I don't understand how he can sing with his tounge out so far? A real genius he is (:
I saw them live and Max sounds just like this. He is the best singer I have ever heard.
.....The gate they'll show you through, if they ask me I'm with you.......
that bass sounds incredible
that was just so...flawless
I love this song..
fucking love this band. max is the musical genious of the century
dude amazing....
Such a great song
3:30 best moment in music history
Bro, waaaiit forrr ehhhttt...
oh My god they sound fucking AWESOME live! i love this band!
My disgusting heart made from a lump of clay❤️
In the album, Max's wife, Sherri Dupree, sings the backing parts
So cool
Still one of the best ever. Always.
still come back and watch this :P
So ticked I missed a say anything concert because they came on before their opener and we were running late. Hope i get to see them again theyre not coming to my town this time and damn these tickets be getting insane lately. I remember when concert tickets were diiiirt cheap. Ugh.
Un-fucking-believably awesome..
Thanks for posting this.
Who’s still listening to 2024?
This was their best lineup
I have a special place in my heart for this line-up because it was the first way I knew them. But this same group plus Kenny Vasoli replacing Alex Kent is pretty bad ass.
This is definitely the be3st lineup, I miss this era hardcore
this is incredible
thanks for the upload. love it.
rikard/sweden
Awesome song. My favorite from the self-titled.
so amazing.
i just about cried.
best performance ever
Robin Marie ok dont get too ahead of yourself here Robin....😂
that drum is taking a beating
I wish they would do more high quality live stuff. They are having a live stream of a concert on the 23rd of October though.
max has so much fucking swag its oozing from his pores
got me crying. almost.
Perfection.

God this is so good
As I drown in lakes of fire... I will call your name as I expire.
Wow the end is powerful.
holy shit that was amazing

i could be reading too much into it though. what do you guys think?
There is no better drummer than Coby Linder, Period. He beats those drums like they stole from him.
Thank you axel
Who else just kinda fell in love with Max?
Why aren't there more live performances from this band online! This and a bunch of acoustic performances are all I can find other than poop quality mobile phone recordings!
I will get Say Anything tattooed across my chest!!!!!
@ohxsoxadowablee it's his nick name for his wife sherri. he calls her spesh as in special maybe? idk but it's in her handwriting and she has one that says maxim in his.
@penguinmarine3 It was a gimmick they did on their late 2009-early 2010 tour.
he is so cute
I finally understand the lyrics "you're in my body." My best friend told me he has feelings for me. I'm waiting till he get's back to tell him in person that I feel the same. How should I do it?
How did it go?
you're in my body; that's where i think about you
Someone helped him to become a more mature hero's in the face of a perceived impending doom
@ChibiXChibiXChan damn that BOY is BEAUTIFUL
this is fucking talent!
Wow.
@Shinsen88
Meant to say "genuinely." lol
Max Bemis helps me live
Max. You're adorable.
@willivanilli07 agreed.
2:55 - the end... best part. :)
i see parker case has a micro korg same synth i have :)
@Xailah hell yea :)
yeah
Are they always in uniform?
their outfits.
no one call me out or anything but... when he says you're in my body... um? does that mean what i think it means?
Rip say anything
What's on his fingers? S.P.S.H? What does that mean?
@Bradyman55 I don't know about that....
@Alliedarkwolf me to lol jk. but still if i were a girl or gay i would. i hear hes a great guy and the musical genious of the century!!!!!
@CalmBefore6 SPSH=Special. it's for his wife Sherri
what does spsh stand for?
No matter what religion he says he is now, everything about Max as a person is so Jewish.
@twotonguestalking713 It's you..
okay, so on the album am I the only one who thinks the background parts are sung by a girl?? I always assumed they were but in this the acoustic guitarist is singing and its not exactly the same. anyone wanna clarify this for me please??
it really sucks that the hihat mic is right there
and that its a sm57
Well I mean Say Anything normally has a pretty prevalent drum presence on almost all their tracks, so I would say that is to compensate for that? Maybe?
(I could be wrong, this is why I mainly play strings/keys and not drums. But I know a little about them lol)
A 57 is kind of a standard studio hat mic…that being said all I’m getting is mostly room out of this kit in general so it’s basically useless lol
I can't wait for him to become my husband. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. YOU JUST WAIT! :)
0:30 nice headbang
max & jake & alex are so fuckin hot. & this song is fuckin awesome.
The three people that disliked this should be punched in the face.
