I love this band
you love them more than noodles?
so do we rob
Play American Football with a football
I love this Scallon
Rob Scallon prefer this or Piglet?
”Translate all the colors that i cant see” sounds even better when you are colorblind, just like me.
Agreed. It's like when my partner doesn't understand how I could be so depressed when the world is full of such bright vibrant colors, that I can't see. Puts into perspective why then go off'd himself being color-blind as well
this sounds poetic asf ngl
Watch this video for +10 serotonin.
I love your stuff man! Hope you are doing well :)
Good to see you here G
Somebody
I’m on drugs rn :(
That thumbnail was way ahead of it's time

the most underrated comment of 2020
meanwhile for me it's just normal, in japan and other asian countries when you're remotely sick you're told to wear a mask, out of respect for others around you. this is also because of the cramped nature of modern japanese streets and trains, where a lot of people are huddled around
i think the same lol 3 years ahead
pretending like masks didnt exist pre covid is stupid p
This city is Matsumoto, Nagano Pref., Japan and my hometown.
hmm. The sister city to Salt Lake City, Utah, where I am now
The town definitely has a Midwest American vibe
@@ashigaramii__ Not at all, it’s incredibly japanese. It just has a bowling alley.
@@Paige-1312 k
It looks wonderful
"My instincts are the enemyyyyyyy"
I can sing that chorus all day, this is a song that really touches the heart.
I wonder if, 3 years ago, anyone would have guessed that AF would reunite, make news songs AND have videos with japanese people cooking and playing bowling.
Théophile Richart they can rebrand themselves as japanese bowling
ahahah that's hilarious
Bowling For Miso Soup
I called it
Théophile Richart affect
i wish japan was a real place
ummmmm uh huh
me too bud
It is! (: Let's go my guy!
Boy, have I got news for you
It's so impossible just to visit that you start to think it doesn't even exists. It always seems like everyone can do what I can't.
The old japanese man who got that strike is my spirit animal.
Thats racist
Koettnylle nope.
Koettnylle I hope that you're joking
A Japanese exchange student lives in a sleepy, rural Midwestern town in America, all the while his friends and family live out their lives in Japan. At 3:55 you can tell that he takes solace in his situation as he thinks of them.
what are you talking about the man drinking with the view?
Niko menicou Yep
@@georgeleslie7307 haha i'm in a very similar situation, am actually going home for summar holiday in about two weeks! can't wait to see my family
This video makes me want to stay alive
The post emo existential survivalist.
luccamazza77 I want you to stay alive. I hope you’re alive.
I'm not suicidal folks, but thanks for the concern. It was just a positive comment!
"days are nights, and nights are unbearable" aaaaa :( the feels
This is amazing because the majority of Japanese indie rock is in the style of American Football. Great video
davesv123 this is my first time listening to this and the guitars reminded me of toe :)
I like some japanese bands, like One Ok Rock and Radwimps. Could you tell me similar bands, please?
The pillows, 324, Melt banana, Boris, 9mm parabellum bullet
Arthur Tayt-Sohn Caroline rocks!
Japan has a lot of amazing bands. I watch a lot of indie shows here in Tokyo.
Some bands I would highly recommend are "Indigo La End" and "ART-SCHOOL".
If you're into shoegazing/dream-pop then check out "Kinoko Teikoku". They're pretty amazing.
listening to this band when you are depressed is so fucking different than when youre not. Idk how to explain it. But I'd relate it to watering plants when they are first planted, compared to when they are first starting to grow and bloom. At first I was just excited and didn't know what to expect, but now that I've seen the beauty of it, it's not more of a chore to me to water them every day, it just feels... right. I'm going through such a hard time in my life right now, but listening to them just feels... right.
i understand you m8, keep up, everything will be fine
wait, you've been not depressed? what is that like?
hope you’ve been doing alright recently man
We arent living in a normal world anymore. And I agree that discovering this band was an amazing things. There are many awesome bands but this one definitely is special and makes you think of many deep canyons of the soul. I hope you have started to feel a little more whole my friend..
I hope everything gets better for you.
Awesome video, good job Chris Strong. For those who don't know, it's the same guy who took the picture of the AF house
Chris is amazing
YOOOOOOOOO
@@musicbyarwin_ YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Imagine you stumble upon watching this for the first time and think that American Football is a Japanese band
Exactly what I thought lol
I love how their voices have matured like fine wine
Their drummer plays some amazing ass fills
Keeps it simple too. Great drummer
100% chances this video will make you a better person
It probably did to many people before me
And still today, it found its way to me, to make me a better person
And I hope it reach more people in the future
I wouldn't assume people who listen to the same music as me are good people. Just isn't that simple.
@@quatricise Lmao
@@quatricisetoo much trauma to still be a good person I guess
JAPANESE FOOTBALL
Lol, you win!
Abdallakh Chinese?
Japane
sefootball?
Chinese Football deserve more recognition
+Jake Marvin Super underrated. Their latest EP is killer
I really like the colors and just overall shots of every scene in this. The city lights, the night scenes, the evening scenes, all of it. It really compliments the song.
The girl was way ahead of her time. She was already living in 2020 3 years ago.

OMG I knew someone was going to say this

how white and american are you
@@cuongdiep7867 haha chuẩn
American Football is one of the few bands that will legit make me tear up listening to them :')
the 2nd half of this song kinda reminds me of "honestly" from their debut album
the vibe this band brings is unreal, I can listen to this all dayyy long and all night.
My Instincts Are The Anime
This song and video are otherworldly in ways I simply cannot describe. I know they got famous for the first album but I truly think this album is a _complete masterpiece_ spawned after an extra 16 years of talent and raw emotion.
Been listening to this non-stop since it first came out. This is more Owen than the original American Football, but I'm definitely not mad. There's enough different about it and enough similar to create something new that isn't too far from it's roots. Fantastic song and album.
Do you like LP3? I think it's better
That polyrhythm at 3:00 was so unexpected
it's just so beautiful every time
I love it. It's also so simple compared to how impactful it is, just the drums playing 2 bars of 3/4 in the space of the guitar's 4/4 bar. It really is genius to me, prime example of proper use of complexity. So many polyrythms way more complex than this don't carry nearly as much meaning to the overall experience.
It's like Radiohead, but i don't want to die
That's spot on lol, and, also, if despite their changes in aesthetic, RH never left the 90's in heart
Exactly! Like melancholic hopeful
Seeing that dude make a strike in bowling made me smile so big
I am going through very tough times right now but whenever I listen to this song I can have a little rest of that, I really appreciate that
i hope you wil get better soon. I wish I could share a drink with you rn. just alleviate your sadness you are feeling .
@@kentanthonypanta195 Thank you, Kent. I'm actually doing kind of better right now, step by step.
a year later, but i hope everything turned right!! matter fact i hope this year turns out well
obsessed with this video. great song immaculate cinematography, thanks to everyone involved.
just found american football through a melee meme and love all 3 albums, apparently ppl think lp2 is the weakest but idk I feel like all 3 albums are amazing and have so many good songs. this is def one of my favorites off lp2. cant think of many if any bands that can go on a decade and a half hiatus and put out two albums that are just as good as their amazing first album. and love me a good mid-song shift like that. goat track
My instincts are the enemy
I warned you
I've damaged good inside of me
I need you
Translate all the colors that I can't see
I think I'm in trouble
You explain why all the reds look green to me
With my nerves exposed, I can't say no
My instincts are the enemy
I warned you
I've malevolence inside of me
I need you
I wanna taste a little bit of everything
But it gets me in trouble
To fill my plate with the vacant and obscene
With my nerves exposed, I can't say no
I'm paralyzed, engaged in civil war
What can I do?
Either way, I lose
You lose, too
Days are nights and nights are unbearable
What can I do?
Chained to this mood
You're chained to me
Keep asking different questions
The same answer I receive
I need you more than ever
Tell me you what you've seen
Thank you.
yo hajime-kun from malegoat reppin' in this vid (now in the band firewood project formed with the frontman of the band husking bee. he also co-owns the ramen place in the vid) ---just some japanese music trivia for those peeps interested.
love it!
How do you know all this stuff?
haha I've lived in Japan for 6 years and I've been deeply involved in the music scene here since before then. hajime is the friendliest dude in jp and any emo band to go there will find this out quickly.
and omg polyvinyl sempai noticed me!
More facts the husking bee frontman did the singing voice of Koyuki in beck Mongolian chop squad anime Random knowledge
When does he appear in the video?? That’s amazing
I love how he says translate colours to me , being colour blind myself I have to ask people what colour stuff is and explain why red looks green to me
My favourite American Football song :)
Same here!
Same
一週間働き抜いて、飲み会帰りに郊外へ帰るときに聞くこの曲。俺のためにあるんじゃないかと思ってしまうほどに染みる🍶
metyakucha awesome!!
This is a nice wink at the huge math rock scene in Japan.
I love this Band! I had the pleasure of seeing them perform this album in Philadelphia right before the pandemic hit in 2018. I had front row seats with a very Good friend who introduced their music to me . Mike Kinsella ( lead) likes to take walks right before the performance and walked right by us in line. we said hey! and he spoke. they are so down to earth. love this band so much. one of favorite songs of all time.
This is the only post self-titled track that really hits like that for me. Unbelievable feels
memories are pearls.
I either feel genuine happiness or a deep sadness while listening to this song. there is no in between
The time american football had to perfect their individual sounds during their split could possibly be the best thing ever. The production of this is possibly their magnum opus. Now steve lamos is back I cant wait to see what’s to come from them
The man at 1:36 always gives me a homey wholesome feeling and I don't know why.
The Japanese elderly are wonderful, kind souls. I remember during my trip to Japan our travel group got a little bit lost looking for walking directions to Osaka Castle, when an elderly gentleman did his best to tell us where it was and even walked with us partway. God bless them
idk man this song with this music video is just.. perfect, its perfect
so melodic, beautiful start stops and perfect song for the band when you consider all things considered
2:00 s percussion is nice
magnificent, i've been waiting for this, greetings from Indonesia!
Dewa Eryadi ada yg dr indonesia hehe
Been listened to them since 99.
been listened to them since majapahit
Coming to this song for peace at a time like this.
*I love how they sound like it's still 1999 and keep it Timeless at the same time.*
This bands sound and aesthetic is perfection
mike is a genius
thems polyrythms on the second half have me fuckin banging my head against a desk while creaming my pants and crying at the song at the same time
actually thinkin bout it i'm not sure if it's a polyrythm, you can definitely count the guitar riff as a 3/4 along with the drums and bass, but when it starts by itself it's 100% not how I felt the tempo/time signature, which is why it almost feels like a polyrythm and the subversion of expectations gives it an amazing effect
how have I avoided listening to this band for so fucking long? I am a fool.
God, I love this song so much...
this song melts my mind, guh. thank you for this album, guys
First time hearing this song and i cant stop from playing on repeat 🔥
My ears won’t stop the gasm. Holy shit I’ve missed this band so much. This song is FIRE.
“I keep asking different questions
Same answers I receive
I need you more than ever
Tell me what you’ve seen.”
These apply perfectly in my life
This band are legendary
Dary
sad dad music at it's best. I've been hurt so much but this music hit's such a soothing spot.
The girl in the beginning saw the coronavirus pandemic before than anyone
American football stay home 1999
Yo dude you made my day. At 7 35!
Guess you've not been to Japan hahah
bro people in east asian countries wear face masks in public when they're sick to stop other people getting sick
Thank you. I saw the thumbnail and assumed the video had been updated by idiots or something. What a relief.
Thinking of the hometown you love and the people you left behind... Perfect for this song.
Chills man, *chills*
Keep asking different questions, same answer I recieve. I need you more than ever...to tell me what you see.
i can't believe i missed out on this band during my childhood, love their sound fr
This is the most wholesome music video EVER MADE
かっこいい!!
so cool !!
Absolutely incredible that I just found this band, going to check out their discography.
Never to late , get busy listing and make up for lost time 🤘
There’s something special about Math rock + Japan
Fantastic song.
This is sooo dope. I did not expect new American Football in my life right now, but it's perfect.
I like how his singing voice got noticeably better as he went on. Good for him
i love how its synced up
Goosebumps everytime that i listen to u guys, thanks for making such beautiful Music
I practically daily play this, it fits so many different moods of mine, such a versatile song.
2:27 saving this for later
This is better than Never Meant
Agree.
American Football just became JAPANESE BOWLING
this song gets better with more plays. so much more better.
"Translate all the colors that I can't see."
Very relatable line.
2 in the morning. I can't take it... too emotional... God damn :')
this some wholesome stuff, dawg.
The woman in 2:40 is like "dararararaaa im from three years later! 🌻"
泣いた😢I love your music.thank you.
this video is full of hope happiness i wanna cry
My first time listening to them. Loving it.
Whoever play that guitar.. You're fricking awsome.. Oh my God.. I love you're style of playing..
"My Instincts...' and 'Never Meant' and 'Life Support' and... 🎵💕🎶
Gracias algoritmo de youtube, por hacerme redescubrir esta hermosa banda
素晴らしい。大好きです。
みーとぅー!
This song is really good imo I love the vocals + the classic mid-western emo sound.
Listened to this once without noticing the title whilst exploring an abandoned building, freaked out af. I later tried finding the song as I enjoyed hearing it, and laughed after seeing the title 🤣
FREAKING LOVE MATH ROCK. IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE IM WALKING IN A FIELD OF SUNFLOWERS WITH MY GUITAR STRAPPED ON MY BACK
Absolutely gorgeous.
Why am I crying
This song and the music video make me feel nostalgic every time I listen to it.
Good lord, this is beautiful!
my god. ... this is incredible
This is how you make a fucking comeback honestly
