"Let me tell you something, I haven't even begun to peak. And when I do peak, you'll know. Because I'm gonna peak so hard that everybody in Philadelphia's gonna feel it." - Dennis Reynolds
Aint that the truth..40 now, remember hearing this in my mid 20s. Can't say I've done bad for myself, could have done better, but I certainly am not where I thought I would be at this age
1:43 - As someone who is approaching his 40's and is self-conscious about getting older and missing the good 'ol days, these lyrics hit me hard and give me great comfort: "And I'll you something else That you ain't died enough to know There's still some living left when your prime comes and goes"
As a life long metal head I'd make fun of everything on the radio while we worked construction but when this song cane on the radio when it first came out It changed me, I could feel the HEART of this song, it was actually getting me emotional . THIS is great song writing . I'm also from N.J. so it hits even harder. Let's enjoy it again, shall we ?
I also love this album! Also pretty big into heavy stuff. What I found interesting is that the guy who co-produced this album, John Fields, also produced basically all of the Disney rock form the late 2000s, when singers such as Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and the Jonas Brothers all were sporting this energetic teenie pop rock sound. He also produced the first two albums by Andrew W.K. I unironically really like the second album by Demi Lovato, called Here we go again. Super energetic, great pop composing, also super fun to drum along to :D
Lost my only child, Brian. He was 37. Depression to addiction.... Thanks Bubba for keeping me up on the latest for 20 yrs. Still remember dropping you off at bandcamp in Beaumont and surprising you with a fresh copy of Collective Soul's first release. Father leads son, then son leads father. The last band you led me to before you left was The National.... still listen.
Jim is a beyond humble person and deserves so much more recognition then he gets. One of my biggest influences for music. I cried when he commented on fender ja90 that i tagged him in.
All I'm saying is...I met these guys at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ on Jim's B-Day. And i remember telling him i've wanted to shake the hand of the man that plays those songs and shortly after this song was released. Not saying i had anything to do with the chorus but...i'd like to think so. I love them til infinity
Even though "Bleed American" was the first song by them I ever heard and loved, this is still my favorite track of theirs. Everything about it is perfect.
My favorite line: "There's still some livin' left when your prime comes and goes." And its true! Hell most of your life is spent living past your prime haha.
@@thekirajustice That was a very different era in music though. When Bleed American was released, rock and pop-punk dominated the charts. By the time Futures & then Chase This Light were released, not so much.
Kristopher Medlin Because Nirvana is fucking raw. Don't get me wrong, I like both but JEW is like having a sugar coated mohawk while Nirvana is stabbing you in the back
DarkAngelEU idk if i'd use the term raw for Nirvana. Mediocre? Yes. Raw? Not so much. If you want a 90s band that's raw you go with Placebo. They are insanely better than Nirvana. Kurt Cobain and Nirvana are so overly rated its not funny. Not saying that they suck mind you (they're meh). But they're not as good as people make them out to be. As far as 90s bands go they are in the middle (hehe JEW joke) at best.
The first time I heard this song was the day after my dad died. For some reason it gave me so much hope and peace. I remember listening to it every day for maybe 2 or 3 months. I’ll always love this song.
You guys were the soundtrack of my youth...the first song I blasted in my very first car was The Authority Song. I wish this pandemic hadn't happened so I could have seen you guys in concert finally but either way...you are the absolute best and I'll always love your sound.
(Steady) Before this world starts up again It's me and night We wait for the sun The kids and drunks head back inside Well there's lots of smart ideas in books I've never read When the girls come talk to me I wish to hell I had (Get Up, Get Up) Turn on ignition (Get Up, Get Up) Fire up the system Play my little part in something big I'll accept with poise, with grace When they draw my name from the lottery And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice' I'm the one who gets away I'm a New Jersey success-story And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand' (They'll say) Back when I was younger I was someone you'd've liked Got an old guitar I'd had for years I'd let you buy And I'll tell you something else that you ain't dying enough to know There's still some living left when your prime comes and goes (Get Up, Get Up) Dance on the ceiling (Get Up, Get Up) Boy, you must be dreamin' Rock on young saviour, don't give up your hopes I'll accept with poise, with grace When they draw my name from the lottery And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice' I'm the one who gets away I'm a New Jersey success-story And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand' I have one last wish And it's from my heart Just let me down Just let me down (easy) I'll accept with poise, with grace When they draw my name from the lottery And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice' I'm the one who gets away I'm a New Jersey success-story And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake his hand' (They'll say)
Back when I was younger I was some one you would have liked. Got an old guitar I'd had for years I'd let you buy. That entire verse makes me think of Arizona legend Doug Hopkins smashing his guitars in Tempe literally a couple years before Jimmy Eat World got things rolling in the same place.
i cannot wait....in 29 days i will be seeing them live in new orleans... this is an event for me 18yrs in the making....yes they have been around since 1993 holy wow
"There's still some living when your prime comes and goes." - lyrics that hit harder 15 years later in 2022.
36, haven't hit my prime yet! Haha. Rock on, young savior.
Amen to the both of you!
"Let me tell you something, I haven't even begun to peak. And when I do peak, you'll know. Because I'm gonna peak so hard that everybody in Philadelphia's gonna feel it."
- Dennis Reynolds
Aint that the truth..40 now, remember hearing this in my mid 20s. Can't say I've done bad for myself, could have done better, but I certainly am not where I thought I would be at this age
That line gets me every time after ALL this time
This band is ridiculously underrated. Such a special talent.
Amen
Still true!
this band is really good
One of the best ever-with all seriousness
they are not underrated to anyone who was living when they came out. me an friends must have bought and stole bleed america 5 times over
Still on repeat 2024.
Still number 1 on my playlist.
Jimmy Eat World is so underrated
no way ,taylor likes them
+LostElement 22 do they still make music never hear them anymore
+Danny Fry idfk XD ihope
+Danny Fry Not Lately , But They're Still Together And Are Performing At A Lot Of Festivals This Year
They had the last several months off to concentrate on their own things - they are writing again now
1:43 - As someone who is approaching his 40's and is self-conscious about getting older and missing the good 'ol days, these lyrics hit me hard and give me great comfort:
"And I'll you something else
That you ain't died enough to know
There's still some living left when your prime comes and goes"
A favorite of mine, too. Sadly, I just hit 61.
Yeah that lyric is a kick in the nuts to anyone from 40-60 lol

Right On. Nort Jersey Success Story Also👍😎😎

This is the most underrated band off all times

That’s awesome.
Even though "Bleed American" was the first song by them I ever heard and loved, this is still my favorite track of theirs. Everything about it is perfect.
tgolden12 yea I like the whole Chase this Light album and of course Bleed American album
ME TOO
AMAAAAAAZING
My favorite line: "There's still some livin' left when your prime comes and goes."
And its true! Hell most of your life is spent living past your prime haha.
To this day, JEW's most heard songs are from Bleed American (2001), released 6 years before this song.
The man knows what he's talking about.
@@thekirajustice That was a very different era in music though. When Bleed American was released, rock and pop-punk dominated the charts. By the time Futures & then Chase This Light were released, not so much.
Wish music like this was on the mainstream FM radio :(
It was, like 12 years ago 👀
Heard it, it was premiere on KROQ and rarely played again.
Who listens to radio nowadays?
@@Saberwaisen I do.
thats exactly what "your new aesthetic" is about on their album clarity. you should listen to it even if this message is 4 years late
This song's chorus is the only time "New Jersey" and "success" go together.
thats the point of the line in my opinion, he wants to be something rare, something you dont see often, a new jersey success story.
Im from Jersey and I love this band, but I didn’t realize they were from here
@@jasmineg9738 they're not lol they're from Tempe, Arizona. Jim isn't from jersey either he's from Mesa LOL
@@jasmineg9738 the song is written from the point of view of a loser from New Jersey who thinks he’s going to be a rockstar but who fails.
Sinatra, Springsteen, and Bon Jovi are from Jersey
"Rock on young savior, don't give up your hopes." Damn, I love Jimmy Eat World.
*don't get up your hopes.
Changes it a bit.
This band so criminally underrated
Anybody else find themselves repeatedly clicking back to 2:43? That is pure chills
+Dylan Swinson No, not really. But I do find myself going back to 0:00 pretty often.
+HANGINGWANG
So true with a lot of their songs :)
Yeah! The same! This album came out just when I met my first love. And we listened to this song fo hours :) oh, feels.
Hands down one of the best bands to come out of the 90s! You can keep your Nirvana, I'll take my Jimmy Eat World.
***** No
***** Why the hell would you want Nirvana anyway? Especially when you could have Jimmy Eat World.
Kristopher Medlin Because Nirvana is fucking raw. Don't get me wrong, I like both but JEW is like having a sugar coated mohawk while Nirvana is stabbing you in the back
DarkAngelEU idk if i'd use the term raw for Nirvana. Mediocre? Yes. Raw? Not so much. If you want a 90s band that's raw you go with Placebo. They are insanely better than Nirvana.

As far as 90s bands go they are in the middle (hehe JEW joke) at best.
DarkAngelEU I am willing to bet you a years pay Kurt would have loved Jimmy Eat World. People forget he liked hella poppy bands that had substance.
I wish I had heard this 15 years ago.
I cried so hard to this song when I was 13. Now I am 26 and I cry again. Thank you for your art. With lots of love from Ukraine
I hope you are ok!
@@etotigasad9996 i am! thank you a lot! take care
I'm sorry man for how Ukraine is being treated. Hope you all come stronger on the other side. Lots of love from India!
@@sahildhawan22 thank you for your support and kind words mate! take care!
Hope your still kicking buddy
One of the best bands to come along in a long, long time. Bleed American, Chase this Light, and Futures should be in everyone's collection.
These guys are SOOOOO Uplifting .. . .
The first time I heard this song was the day after my dad died. For some reason it gave me so much hope and peace. I remember listening to it every day for maybe 2 or 3 months. I’ll always love this song.
This is Really music, not the new plastic artist! i hope that J.E.W keep doing music, as the way they know!
Please don't ever stop making music. I need this.
The best band to grace the planet honestly. And the best live band I’ve ever seen 🤘
This band is so wholesome, I can't help but love them.
Damn, it's almost ten years and I still feel like this song just came out like 5 years ago. I feel old.
2021 here, feel the same way!
Lord give me a chance to shave that ham
Dammit! That's all I hear now, great lol
Hahahahahahaha
chris mcdonald scrolling down and that part of the song played and i read your comment expecting them to say ham XD
thats funny
hahahaha
There's still some living left when your prime comes and goes
Pungent Pie are you 99 defence tho?
Tom Dean yeah I used to be really into runescape I got about 6 or 7 99's
Easily one of the most underrated songs.
Back when I was younger I was someone you'd have liked.
I forgot what a great band is Jimmy Eat World! Many years i didn´t hear them.
Carlos Macutela dude me too, heard it so much 10 years ago.. fucking epic
Not only does this song absolutely kick ass, it's always really nice to see love for the Neon Boneyard 💗
still listening to this. freaking awesome music.
Named our band after this song, such an inspirational piece of music.
The recording of this video made him very happy.
I like how much he's smiling.
One of my all time favorite song. Listening from South Africa 🇿🇦
Holy crap I'm 30. I remember when this album came out in high school. Where has the time gone? 🥺🥺🥺
My favorite song by them
kenneth bradley same
Still gold in 2019!
Fav band. Always quality.
Every word in this song speaks to me
2023 and I still adore this. JEW you glow up my life
I don’t care what anyone says this is one of the greatest songs of all time.
i went to their concert last night. they played this song amazingly :) made my life :)
Went last night and they played it again! Never gets old.
This song will never get old to me 😭
Unpopular Opinion - This is the best Jimmy Eat World song!
What a fucking tune.
One of my favorite Jimmy Eat World songs
I'm from Elizabeth, New Jersey and this song always hit home for me.
...except I'm not a New Jersey success story. Well, not yet at least. You heard it here first folks.
i love jimmy eat world they gave me the inspiration to pick up an instrument
Man, Jimmy Eat World rocks. Love how the lead singer just rocks out on his guitar.
Love them so much..
So proud living on that era..
Loved it when it came on the radio on the way to Macy's as a kid playing pokemon 😂
Loved growing up to this band in the early 2000s
I still grow up to this band.
Hope Jimmy comes back to South Africa again, I missed the 1st concert, and would love to jam to Pain and Authority Song.
"I'll play My little part in something big." :)
What a greatass song goddam
not sure why this doesn't have more views
Utterly sublime
because of fucking morons like justin bieber and nicki minaj
because people=shit
In the Coma the words persisted.
Thank you.
I hope they keep playing forever and ever.
Oh the memories. I remember listening to this song all the time years ago! Still a great tune!
I love this song!!
Completely awesome song.
*Happy Birthday To Jim Adkins* 🎂🥳🎤🎸🤘🏻
Saw them live last week... they're still as good as ever!
You guys were the soundtrack of my youth...the first song I blasted in my very first car was The Authority Song. I wish this pandemic hadn't happened so I could have seen you guys in concert finally but either way...you are the absolute best and I'll always love your sound.
2019 here, back were we started 💪🏻
saw them last night at bamboozle. they were amazing
Can't believe this song is 11years old already! Good times!
Still one of my favourite songs ever! :D
It’s like a brand new band for me! Obviously heard the hits but there’s so much stuff I’ve never heard! And it all sounds relevant today 👌🏻👌🏻
I listen to this song everyday and it never gets old.
this song rocks
God this song i just picked it up like 15 years later and it still makes me feel the same but it fits better now. What a song
another great song... as usual.
such a good song.
Miss America Singer of Carolina, Five
The reason why I'm here 😂
+Noa MSP bless u Keira Cass
Back when I was younger, I was someone you'd have liked. Feeling that line hard right now...
Pure talent ❤💯
What a good memories, So inspirational song.
My favourite JEW song EVER!!!!!!!
this band still kicks uber ass!!! keep it up guys... Jamming since 1993!!!
Still so much love for this band after all these years!
What a wicked song. As good as I remember. Need to buy this album too.
This is real music :D
I loved this song ever since I first heard it when I was in high school in the early 2000s.
Javedur Rahman I know, I was in high school then in 2007 when I first heard this song. I was trying to say I liked it since then.
(Steady)
Before this world starts up again
It's me and night
We wait for the sun
The kids and drunks head back inside
Well there's lots of smart ideas in books I've never read
When the girls come talk to me I wish to hell I had
(Get Up, Get Up) Turn on ignition
(Get Up, Get Up) Fire up the system
Play my little part in something big
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice'
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success-story
And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand'
(They'll say)
Back when I was younger I was someone you'd've liked
Got an old guitar I'd had for years I'd let you buy
And I'll tell you something else that you ain't dying enough to know
There's still some living left when your prime comes and goes
(Get Up, Get Up) Dance on the ceiling
(Get Up, Get Up) Boy, you must be dreamin'
Rock on young saviour, don't give up your hopes
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice'
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success-story
And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand'
I have one last wish
And it's from my heart
Just let me down
Just let me down
(easy)
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice'
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success-story
And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake his hand'
(They'll say)
Brycen Thanks
🖤
It’s so iconic watching Jim drag his guitar like it’s a heavy battle axe. Just an awesome subtle moment that lives in my head rent free.
Such a good song. They are super underrated
So many friends to meet!!!!
Best song.
jimmey's band is always a good classical band to listen to
2019 y sigo escuchando esta pieza maravillosa!!!
Back when I was younger
I was some one you would have liked.
Got an old guitar I'd had for years
I'd let you buy.
That entire verse makes me think of Arizona legend Doug Hopkins smashing his guitars in Tempe literally a couple years before Jimmy Eat World got things rolling in the same place.
i was nine and still remember hearing on the news how doug shot himself
i cannot wait....in 29 days i will be seeing them live in new orleans... this is an event for me 18yrs in the making....yes they have been around since 1993 holy wow
Such a great song
My favorite of their songs. Truly epic
they should be famous, their musics are just perfect
Classic
