i feel like ur being sarcastic rn. but its funny. and i have no idea. if hes bsed or not his fans. if so cool if not cool. whatever normally if i say something that. my scharcasm is.. biting...
he is very inspiring for that very reason. I am very much the same where i have good and bad days and seeing someone someone so open with it helps me accept who I am.
The new me kills the old me. A struggle we all must go through to win a fight against anything. This band continues to make beautiful soundtracks to my life.
dicephalousss Hebrews was so fucking good though. I haven't listened to anything but Hebrews, real boy and I don't think it is critically yet but I heard the other albums and they're just as eloquently self deprecating from what I heard so I love them too
Back In Town Productions why the fuck Is it not on the radio this is the true problem with this country not are president or wars but the fact that max is not on the fucking radio
John McClane I agree that Say Anything has been good, but Is a Real Boy was the best, and Hebrews is on that caliber. Better doesn't mean the others aren't great. This album is just awesome.
❤❤❤❤ thanks for changing my husbands life man … frfr. He use to be some strung out overweight Jewish guy - now he’s clean cut and sober with a beard and a softer tone. - he’s all “maybe one day I too can bury the old me”
Prolific piece, I'm taken aback by it, it's the most honest and vulnerable song I think I've ever heard, he writes from within not from what everyone else is looking at or doing, I found this song the day I dropped everything 300 Facebook friends 100 groups, over 2,000 twitter followers, it couldn't have entered my life at any better time, it hit me, just like great art should. I am a diagschitzo, with Complex PTSD, Music has saved me, music therapy, good playlist and headphones drowns out that internal negative voice, after 4 years I've strangled it and rewired my brain by redirecting my thought, when the brain works you leave the mind in poverty. Try it it works.
Wow, I love this comment so much. I have a similar relationship with music as well so I definitely get a sense of where you're coming from. Music is so important.
Older thread, but this is a great comment. I love Bemis' lyrics, but I find his over-enunciation a bit off-putting. But thanks to your comment, I will continue to listen. I suffer from PTSD and multiple other diagnoses and also dropped my life. I moved to Mexico with only what I could carry (guitar/clothes/laptop) almost 4 years ago. I hope you're doing well.
I lived in DC in 2009 and would listen to the self-titled album almost every day on my long commute to and from work. Just the other day, for the first time in literally a decade, I listened to the album; I have no idea what prompted me to do so. After about literally 2 minutes, I was like, “This is about Jesus.” I had no idea in 2009 and in fact at that time I still had a decade to go before Christ called me. But indeed, that album is one of the best Christian albums of all time IMO. And I was such a degenerate Pagan I literally had no idea and just liked slapping my palms to the beat on the steering wheel. Now, I almost consider songs like “Cemetery” to be worship music
Can you please make like Job? All you are to me is dead skin, shaking off of my fee-I mean, "hands"! Shaking off of my hands!! Now... How do *"we"* break Mary's band?
you know if theres one thing you can say about this man its that he hasnt lost his touch at writing say anything songs, not back then and even right up through 2019
Why the fuck dose this not have more views I got lucky and got to see them when they came to Columbus for his last tour wish he would come back hear hath to drive all the way to Cleveland
Gesus, this sounds like Say Anything. Except for maybe one or two songs, I haven't listened to them since the self titled album, which was a good album, just missing some Say Anythingness, in my opinion. This almost sounds like it could be off of In Defense of a Genre.
To reiterate, I am fucking impressed and and in love with this video and song. Bed waiting more your comeback for awhile* 32 year old hits juul* Not trolling in the least though, fan for life right here. Miss you guys, miss Max.
I love music and have very stronge opinions when it comes to it . This song is definitely top 10 greatest songs this decade. Every scetion of a song is fuckin hammered here. This is fuckin someone at the top of their game pullin all the stops.
A video with max bemis rocking out in a shady warehouse weaved in with a story of max bemis serial killing max bemis. I didn't even know I could think something like this was as rad as I do
This band should be fucking huge the biggest band if our generation. The lyrics the song composition the subjects in the songs. Max is a fucking bob dylan of our shitty generation but unfortunately there are too many musical distractions like rap, computer talk music, ectttt. Fuck say anything is amazing
+Vin I feel you, it was such a crazy musical transition from old say anything to new say anything. I listened to "Hebrews" and "John McClane" on repeat for like a week before I touched the rest of the album. His new stuff is AMAZING though. Much love for Bemis.
Lyrics: I believe in God but I've no reason to follow. Lost my virginity to myself, I'm just sparks and meat. I believe in love, but I'm gassy, dank and hollow. I'd rather drink, smoke, die young, be reborn and repeat. I belong in jail, but I lied my way to heaven, With a wife who hasn't learned that I'm Satan yet. I want to burn my art, so I can carve one twee and modern, But I'll just serenade the chemicals. It's the cure that's hardly medical. Six, six, six, I need a fix. Never better, I'm a little bit sick. I hold a grudge and a burden. I hold a tongue and an organ. Bang, bang, bang, I hit and ran, Left my inner child dead in the drain. I hold the fire and the hunger. I hold the name and the number: six, six, six. Unimpressed by the symmetry of death. Drown in butter 'til there's no hope left. It's alright. You think I'm worthy of your wandering eye? I'm just a strung out, overweight Jewish guy. It's alright. So Lord, help me. Six, six, six, I need a fix. Never better, I'm a little bit sick. I hold a grudge and a burden. I hold a tongue and an organ. Bang, bang, bang, I hit and ran, Left my inner child dead in the drain. I hold the fire and the hunger. I hold the name and the number: six, six, six. You don't want to make, me come down. You're trying to let it go, and opening your mouth. You won't win. You will bow down. So let it go, no. So let it go now. All I want is to dethrone God, so I can be crucified Crucified, crucified. All I want! All I want! All I want! All I want!
Man, I fucking love this album, but it's not Say Anything as a group, this is Max Bemis: the Behind the Music episode. That's not a bad thing, but I feel like this should've been deemed a solo project, not sold under the Say Anything name.
I would honestly love this if it wasn't Say Anything... I feel like they're capable of better... the angst that made me shamelessly fall in love with their music isn't there. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Dude, this album was raw Bemis. He's a father now and married for like 5+ years... he's evolved musically. Old Say Anything (esp their Junior Varsity album) was what got me through high school. Now, as I get older (along with the other SA fans), his music remains relatable. Its new, but its definitely still SA. And definitely still amazing. :) At least it wasn't like the Blink 182 transition lol
"I hate that dude, now that he's married He's got a baby on the way, poor Sherri That's not apropos, he's not the wretch we know Chop his family up so we can feed them to the front row Spike his fifteenth espresso with drugs So he's convinced it's a manic delusion to know true love Be 19 with a joint in hand, never change the band Never ever be a dot dot dot real man"
Marla Singer He's singing about the era of when his band was popular and other bands that were popular at the time (pretty much the genre of music) is dead... so pretty much he's saying RIP Say Anythin and goodbye.

I have so much love and respect for this man. Thank you Max for not bullshitting your fans.
Same. Max Bemis, the real MVP.
i feel like ur being sarcastic rn. but its funny. and i have no idea. if hes bsed or not his fans. if so cool if not cool. whatever
normally if i say something that. my scharcasm is.. biting...
he is very inspiring for that very reason. I am very much the same where i have good and bad days and seeing someone someone so open with it helps me accept who I am.
The new me kills the old me. A struggle we all must go through to win a fight against anything. This band continues to make beautiful soundtracks to my life.
I'm just a strung out, overweight Jewish guy.
haha love this band and all their lyrical wonders.
Well I found my new favorite Band
Welcome Sister!
Welcome
DOPE
Are they still your favorite? I can’t stop listening to them!
Reading all the comments just make Judas Decapitation all the more sense. Hebrews is by far my favorite Say Anything album yet.
+American Awesome Alliance for real
+American Awesome Alliance FUCK YES. But have you hear what came out YESTERDAY!
+Dalton McCabe Bemis is going hard to murder "…Is A Real Boy" elitists 😂 it's amazing
dicephalousss Hebrews was so fucking good though. I haven't listened to anything but Hebrews, real boy and I don't think it is critically yet but I heard the other albums and they're just as eloquently self deprecating from what I heard so I love them too
+American Awesome Alliance This was Say Anything's WORST album.. Except for this song.
This band and their music means so much to me! Thank you max for writing this awesome music!
This deserves more views. Awesome lyrics.
The fact that he included Andy Hull on this is just awesome. Two of my favorite artist since teen years in this is almost too much
Say whatthefudgesicles? I'm so horny for Andy, first listen and I can't wait, this is the best spoiler ever!
Can confirm, just jizzed!
i love the sheer emotions in this song and video and the way he humbly showed his old aged real self made this song 10/10
If mankind were even a tiny bit more intelligent, this music would be a cornerstone of our culture.
It would at least be on the radio thats for sure :)
Back In Town Productions why the fuck Is it not on the radio this is the true problem with this country not are president or wars but the fact that max is not on the fucking radio
Taylor Bagley
🍀😘💚
So would Periphery. That shit is like the future
Haven't heard any music like this or this good since is a real boy.
Lol just shut the fuck up. Every album or project before and after is a real boy is great. I despise Say Anything "fans" that spout garbage like that.
Eva love you should listen to Judas Decapitation, I believe it talks about you. Though not in a good light.
John McClane I agree that Say Anything has been good, but Is a Real Boy was the best, and Hebrews is on that caliber. Better doesn't mean the others aren't great. This album is just awesome.
Oh my god "unimpressed by the symmetry of death" is a hell of a line
I've been trying to figure it out - what do you think it means?
we're all a bit fucked up, max made something out of his misery we should all do the same
Speak for yourself
Say Anything's music has helped me get through so much bullshit.. Love you guys!
❤❤❤❤ thanks for changing my husbands life man … frfr. He use to be some strung out overweight Jewish guy - now he’s clean cut and sober with a beard and a softer tone. - he’s all “maybe one day I too can bury the old me”

oh yeah, you're a regular Chris McCandless aren't ya?
Who?.
I don't know who your referring to.

Going through changes myself ❤ thanks for helping me ❤😢🎉
can't get enough of this. I hope there is more in store for say anything. I'm 22 been listening since i was 15.
Here in 2021 still a banger!!! Love this it’s amazing

But he’s Jewish?

The fills on the Casio are beautiful.
Lucy!!!
Lucy is seriously the cutest in this.
I never knew this video existed until the other day 🤣 it's one of my favorite songs of all time 🖤 I'm glad they made a video for it
Max bemis murdering his young self >_>
It feels like this came out yesterday
Yaaaa, new say anything song!!!
this (& the album) came out early last summer ...
you know if theres one thing you can say about this man its that he hasnt lost his touch at writing say anything songs, not back then and even right up through 2019
heard this live. it was amazing...well to fair it all was amazing
those lyrics are POWERFUL
the lyrics have gone from girls and self loathing to death drugs and self loathing
that’s say anything for ya
Why the fuck dose this not have more views I got lucky and got to see them when they came to Columbus for his last tour wish he would come back hear hath to drive all the way to Cleveland
awwwe max got chubby. so cute. love.
AshleeGanton “Shrung out, overweight, Jewish guy” 😉
Max Bemis you continue to render my soul
Gesus, this sounds like Say Anything. Except for maybe one or two songs, I haven't listened to them since the self titled album, which was a good album, just missing some Say Anythingness, in my opinion. This almost sounds like it could be off of In Defense of a Genre.
Holy hell this video is emotional. I knew the song was to begin with.. but damn.
This is the type of honesty that every man can identify with
I think you’d be lucky to identify any man that would be so self aware and honest to admit they can identify with this.
cutest tum
Right there with ya, Max
I still think this is one of THE BEST songs Max ever wrote, I love it so much.
One of the best videos too, for sure.
Shit max I hadn't tuned in to his songs since probably 2014, so much has changed.
I still really love this band! they are awesome!
Its called just letting the music go through you subconsciously.
God...this is just...amazing
Best pop punk album ever
To reiterate, I am fucking impressed and and in love with this video and song. Bed waiting more your comeback for awhile* 32 year old hits juul* Not trolling in the least though, fan for life right here. Miss you guys, miss Max.
great band
Incredible.
I thought he said “select the hole select the hole” not “let. It go let it go”
Love this song
Holy shit this song is good. How have I never heard this?
Omg I love this song now. the first time i heard it i hated it, but now i really like it. say anything never fails to impress
I love music and have very stronge opinions when it comes to it . This song is definitely top 10 greatest songs this decade. Every scetion of a song is fuckin hammered here. This is fuckin someone at the top of their game pullin all the stops.
A video with max bemis rocking out in a shady warehouse weaved in with a story of max bemis serial killing max bemis. I didn't even know I could think something like this was as rad as I do
This is the first time I can genuinely say that a band is better live
This video makes me emotional
this song is amazing. that's it.
Again with the dance moves..
I love this
oh my god lucy is so sweet
About damn time....
andy hull at 3:47?!??
I THOUGHT SO TOO. I need to know!
Has to be, good catch!
Yes

I’ve never been more jealous of Sherri than after watching this video.. max is hot af lmao
This is so good
LOL Max Bemis is a hell of a guy!
+Mido Ban And Cocaine is a helluva drug!
How the fuck does this not have more views?
Awesome!

I hope say anything is back
Did you guys get the email too? I was so excited when it popped up on my phone!
This is my first time actually seeing what he looks like... not what I expected
You make me believe in me
Some deep shit here.
this music video alone is underrated ffs
im not worthy of your wandering eye I'm just an insecure overweight Jewish guy.
This band should be fucking huge the biggest band if our generation. The lyrics the song composition the subjects in the songs. Max is a fucking bob dylan of our shitty generation but unfortunately there are too many musical distractions like rap, computer talk music, ectttt. Fuck say anything is amazing
Lucy jean bemis
Funny videos
I had to warm up to Hebrews, I'll be honest. (I did come to love it later) But this was the first song off the album I loved.
+Vin I feel you, it was such a crazy musical transition from old say anything to new say anything. I listened to "Hebrews" and "John McClane" on repeat for like a week before I touched the rest of the album. His new stuff is AMAZING though. Much love for Bemis.
UNIMPRESSED BY THE SYMMETRY OF DEATH.
Yaaay new sayanything!
dem lyrics tho
I need a Fix
hi
Is that Andy Hull singing towards the end?
Yes.
Was that Max's wife doing guest vocals
yessssssss
Sherri, Andy Hull and Jon Simmons all guest starred on it
max bemis got a lil chubby, so cute
Princess Caroline I'm guessing its from the antipsychotic medications he's taking...presumably that he's still taking them.
Max bemis also made a song with you,me and everyone we know
Princess Caroline he's got a dad bod :p which makes him even cuter! :3

Say Anything has always been a solo project dude. It's always been Max Bemis who writes everything and hires other people to play the instruments
the music has always beem Max bemis
hasnt it always been this way? lol hes the only original member left, the founder of the band and the only one ever writing the music.
Yea Max, adulthood is hard.
I would honestly love this if it wasn't Say Anything... I feel like they're capable of better... the angst that made me shamelessly fall in love with their music isn't there. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
you obviously haven't read the lyrics...
Exactly these lyrics mean so much and it amazes me how someone could ignore their beauty
Dude, this album was raw Bemis. He's a father now and married for like 5+ years... he's evolved musically. Old Say Anything (esp their Junior Varsity album) was what got me through high school. Now, as I get older (along with the other SA fans), his music remains relatable. Its new, but its definitely still SA. And definitely still amazing. :)
At least it wasn't like the Blink 182 transition lol
Everyone who hates Max for this, go listen to Judas decapitation! Really. He's wrong and your right :)
Came up with this user name when I was 15, boy was I wrong
songs from Hebrews sound much better live than on the album and they're not even that bad on the album.

What is this song about?
Marla Singer Him fading into an obscure adulthood. Many of his songs on this album are how he feels about growing into an "adult".
Marla Singer He's singing about the era of when his band was popular and other bands that were popular at the time (pretty much the genre of music) is dead... so pretty much he's saying RIP Say Anythin and goodbye.
damn, old man Bemis is strong af. Carrying young chubby Bemis like a baby. Dead weight too.
