Right on, Keith Donaldson. I just shared this with all my fellow middle school helpers at Church. I told them everybody's now calling this song "Start Meeting". Well played. God bless! Philippians 4:4!
Words CANNOT express how much I enjoyed this. After being at so many of your concerts in the late 90s through 2000's, this brought back the encouragement and memories of a brilliant band with a message of hope!
You guys have ALWAYS - from the 90's til today - made me feel seen as a socially conscious person who understands that Christ was more liberal than conservative. I can't tell you how much I needed to feel that today.
About 2 hours into letting youtube play random music for me..."Sandwiches, everyone likes them, sandwiches." And my whole day instantly gets better. Thanks for posting this, love this song! I need you guys to go back on tour when all this Covid crazy is done.
The video is a little old, so you may not see this. But: the past 25 years have been a journey from evangelical to teapot agnostic for me, which wasn't always fun. Your music has been touching me deeply throughout and still does. I suspect one reason is that you're willing to pour yourselves into it. Thank you!
I’ve got bad depression and REALLY bad anxiety problems from my time in the army. Song like this, or Every New Day, or Brave Saint Saturn’s Daylight, and so on, they are what usually help me pull through it. I’ll blast your music on my bad days and just rock out to that. I hope we get to see more music from you guys soon!
I love y'all so much. Always have, always will. The other day, my six year old son asked, "What's that cool band I like? The music that's my favorite?" Of course he meant FIF.
I love this and I can't wait to see you guys live again. I saw you on Valentine's Day 2014 in Lawrence, KS and was begging inside for Every New Day. The show was amazing, butI hope one day I'll get to hear Every New Day live.
Lord, please allow FIF to be able to tour again if it's Your will so that more young people in this tech-saturated generation can hear about how You make every new day seem so new as well as how vast Your Love is. In Jesus's awesome Name I Pray. Amen.
You have been my favorite band since 1998. When I first heard this I had just lost my mother to cancer and it just dropped me. Thank you so much for making this, it has become so much more than music.
I feel like I failed as a father...I have adult identical twin daughters who played trumpet and trombone since 4th grade. I raised them on a healthy diet of FIF, Supertones, and Insyderz, with plenty of 90's rock and especially Oingo Boingo. All I wanted is from them was a ska band...where did I go wrong. Thanks guys...and Leanor. This is some much needed fun in a mostly boring year.
Gracias FIF por formar parte de mi vida! La banda que más me influyó y me marcó de chico! No tengo palabras para describir la felicidad que me da verlos tocar! Siempre tienen y tendrán un pedazo de mi corazón! Saludos y bendiciones desde Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina! 😍😎🎺🎷🎸🎧
You guys are awesome. I know you always try to point away from yourselves but I had to tell you I recently found the song Spartan and it really helped me. I enjoy all the fun you guys have but wanted to thank you for songs that are real about struggles but still uplifting.
This almost made me cry with joy, seeing you guys still at it, still playing together, still making wonderful music, it's amazing. Love you guys so much!
Once at a concert in NYC, Reese saw me recording in the front row and proceeded to lean in on my camera and sing and it is to this day the best moment of my life. Thank you guys for keeping the promise you half meant to keep.
Love the video! Many, many years ago I made a disparaging remark on your fan page about your reference to John Walsh in your Song Where is Micah. It was thoughtless. What I said was unfounded. I've always regretted posting something negative about FIF on public media. I hope that you will forgive me. I'm grateful for the work you did for God and pointing a generation to Christ. Despite our selfish selves,. Despite all loss of hope. Despite our lack of faith. Despite our stony hearts. Thanks for taking a stand.
I woke up today and just couldn't get this song out of my head I probably haven't listened to it since the album released. Thank you for sharing the quarantine edition one today just had a whole extra level of meaning.
Love you guys a lot. Your electric boogaloo album helped me through some dark years. Being able to work from home and listen to your music sets my soul at peace. The exact opposite of being forced to listen to Rihanna or Beyonce repeatedly for hours on end at deafening volumes when I had to go to work. Thanks for being a tremendous blessing in my life.
Michael Shaw I know the feeling. My day job is doing sound for corporate stuff with all the played out songs of the last five years as the soundtrack. I scrub my ears with whatever the opposite of what I was exposed to that day.-Micah
Thanks so much. Not only have I missed having you come by my town, anxiety kept me home last time you came through my region. Also, I love seeing the family members. Nathaniel's kids in the background, and Melinda with Dennis.
I love that you put this video together. Loved seeing you all "together" Props to double Dennis. Thank you for the amazingly large impact you've all had on my life :)
this is just haunting! The ghost of dead Brad with two kids on the couch, and a dentist with the face of Dennis Culp singing at the same place as the real Dennis 😲👻
Thanks for coming back when we needed you most FIF. If you folks hit WA once this all blows over, here's one guy who'll be there for sure. Thanks for doing this :) What an encouragement and blessing!
Five Iron Frenzy So true, well, very nostalgic to me at least. Crossroads Coffee House / toilet paper everywhere... that would not be OKAY today at all😂
Thanks guys I really needed that in times like this. I was wondering if you guys could cover Power of Love like that. I've heard some concert phone recordings but it doesn't do it justice.
I love you guys so much. I just wrote a blog post about how alone I felt with my anxiety disorder as a Christian back in 07. Nobody in the Church seemed to get it. Not in Christian literature, not on blogs... the isolation was the most painful thing I've been through. Anywho, after I published that post, I realized that it wasn't true. Back in 07, your lyrics resonated--especially BSS. Those words understood. The intersection of the Church and mental illness is a pretty horrible one. Thank you for understanding, for always being real. I aspire to write with the integrity and fire and compassion and Truth that you guys do. Much love! And in case you're curious... medium.com/anxious-with-jesus
I love punk and Ska bands but I don't like some words that are put in them but I love five iron frenzy because they are Christian and I trust they won't put rude lyrics in their songs
@@fiveironfrenzy MY FRIEND, THEY ARE TRULY A GIFT. I even throw some brown mustard on them if I'm feeling saucey. The End is Near introduced me to them, before that I was just eating everything individually like a schmuck.
@@fiveironfrenzy You've had this proof since the late 90s. You'd think the One Girl Army would have put some flowery dandelions in her handbook for the sellout so when she received him in Canada it wouldn't be such an ugly day when she gave him the suckerpunch with her superpowers. Just sayin'.
I’d believe that. It has so many possibilities: He did it ironically, he did it out of a combination of insecurity and humility, he did it just b/c he’s ridiculous, ... or he did it because it was a Wednesday.
I'm not sure why seeing Reese's home recording setup just made me want another Brave Saint Saturn album SO BAD.
brave saint album was awesome! brought me to tears multiple times. hit on a lot of good subjects i needed to hear.
A prequel BSS album! Preparing for space, or looking up, something like that. “The journey ahead.” 🤷♂
This song shall now be known as "Start Meeting".

Reese gets to read the lyrics in this medium. I think it's perfect for him!
The best thing about being a newer FIF is finding new gems all the time. Thanks FIF
Didn't know but I really needed this. Thank you!

Can't describe how big my smile is listening to this.
Me too!! 😭
This made my year!! FIF, strong with the force you are!!!

Sounding great! Especially Dentist

I was at that show too! Good times!
When this COVID mess is over, *please* go on tour again! I have gotten my teenage daughter into you guys and want her to see you live especially.
Duke of Argyle deal
Lord, please allow FIF to be able to tour again if it's Your will so that more young people in this tech-saturated generation can hear about how You make every new day seem so new as well as how vast Your Love is. In Jesus's awesome Name I Pray. Amen.

I love how Brad's kids are just sitting there like their dad is so lame.
I love this song, and it's so inspiring how they came back after hiatus

This song is a cup of coffee for my life.

So relieved to see Reese has his lyrics close by. Only had to do 3 takes that way!
Erik Pasco Too close to home, dude! Too near the bone!
People think it's an act but it's just pure honesty on and off stage.
Still going to this one in 2024!
Love this! Miss all of you! God bless
Awesome!!! Thank you FIF
Im glad you guys are still getting together and playing music I've listened to you since I was a kid. Come back to Lifest!!
Andy’s iPhone 6 is my favorite FIF member
You guys are awesome. I know you always try to point away from yourselves but I had to tell you I recently found the song Spartan and it really helped me. I enjoy all the fun you guys have but wanted to thank you for songs that are real about struggles but still uplifting.
Thanks, for everything.
Loved this soooooo much!!!!! You are THE BEST!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
John Carmack sorry dude. We’ve been known to push some people around and make them do stuff.
@@fiveironfrenzy you do
SANDWICH. EVERYONE LIKES EM, SANDWICHES.
Finally! I've been waiting decades for the D. Culp Twins to be shown together!
LArry SS it’s a rare occurrence. We usually have one of the twins duct taped up with Micah in a closet somewhere.
@@fiveironfrenzy That's a smart plan! Do they both get senseless beatings or just Micah?
LArry SS it’s revolving schedule. We’re very equal opportunity.
i absolutely love this. i miss seeing you guys live. i needed to see this.
Miss you all. Thanks for the super song! :)
Pootermobile
So awesome! I got goosebumps! You guys are so amazing!
I can't love this enough!!!! 💙❤️💜💚💪
THANK YOU!!! More PLEASE! This song ❤️❤️❤️🙌🏼
Thank you!!! Made my day!
Awesome. Glad you dug it.
You guys sound amazing! Keep on rocking!
This almost made me cry with joy, seeing you guys still at it, still playing together, still making wonderful music, it's amazing. Love you guys so much!
I've loved you guys since I heard back when I was 15yrs old and everytime I listen to Five Iron it's like the 1st time
I keep starting my day with this
This ruined my day! Thanks!
We aim high!

Hahaha love Reese's random video feed fail.
I loved it! Happy to see one of my favorite songs getting some love.
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
loved this guys!! thanks for being one of the best bands ever!!
Cool beans
Keep rocking for love

Looking forward to it!
Love it!!!!
Once again - amazing as ever.
Yes!
This is amazing
Thank you.
I hope you can make it to Audiofeed someday!

God bless you as well!
Woooo! ☺️
siiicckkkk!!!
Go to the doctor!
Double Dennis.

Matt Bognar going old school on us I see. If only anyone in the band had a copy of that. We’d be rich! Just kidding. We’d be NOSTALGIC!

People seemed so confused when that came up in the set, we quickly stopped doing it.
happy to see you have a dentist in the band kudos
Aaahhhh new song!!!!

Sandwiches!

Andy Krauser ‘‘twas a great ad campaign
@@fiveironfrenzy y'all nailed it. Maybe shout out hogies on the next album? Get that hype going.
Wait, there are two Dennis'
Don't you know Dennis has got a machine to replace himself at shows? Here you can see both, himself and his machine. Good performance, ey?
He just hoped no one would notice.
what a country!
Yay! Anybody know what mic Reese is using?
Terrible. Just so, so very terrible. Thank you for that!
Very welcome
❤️ yay! Who downvoted? How dare you, sir!
That was our heckler. He gets paid more than any of us!

I hate this so much. Continuing proof that FIF is the WORST.BAND.EVER.
Barry Myers well, we have proof that the youth are revolting.
@@fiveironfrenzy You've had this proof since the late 90s. You'd think the One Girl Army would have put some flowery dandelions in her handbook for the sellout so when she received him in Canada it wouldn't be such an ugly day when she gave him the suckerpunch with her superpowers. Just sayin'.
Barry Myers good point.
5IF go on Tiny Desk!
Jason Dye we always stand on our desks. It’s like an 80s rock video around here.

I’d believe that. It has so many possibilities: He did it ironically, he did it out of a combination of insecurity and humility, he did it just b/c he’s ridiculous, ... or he did it because it was a Wednesday.
Why are my ears bleeding?
Sonic knives
@@fiveironfrenzy Sounds like an album title to me!
Now do this for Where Is Micah? please
Also btw Micah is easily the best 👌
Micah’s solo videos were way better. This video with 1k more views needs a new Handbook for the Sellout song written about it.
