  • Third Eye Blind - Why Can't You Be (Official Live Performance)
    Some bands have resumes so impactful, they never need to be stated. Third Eye Blind is one of these outfits, bringing a parade of strong music to fans that began in the late '90s. From the forever catchy bounce of "Semi-Charmed Life" to recent victories such as "Fuck Forever" from last year's 'Thanks For Everything' album. Singer Stephan Jenkins has steered his vision forward from the get-go, and Third Eye Blind remains an alt-rock force to be dealt with. We invited Jenkins in to perform some new tunes, and he responded with bristling solo versions of "Blood Bank" and "Why Can't You Be" from their 2009 album, 'Ursa Major.' Jenkins solo shots don't happen often. TEB fans need to be sharing these performances.
    Director: Bram VanderMark
    Producer: Maddy Schmidt
    Editor: Colton Fordyce

    "Why can't you be, someone, looking deeper into me, like JD Salinger, why do I challenge her in all these surface ways that you displease, why can't you be, a little more at ease?" Best songwriter of all time. This song still hits so hard to this day.

      This is one of the best songs ever written lyrically the music is just there to kind of give the words a place to bounce off of but altogether it's wonderful and beautiful and those who don't get it just don't get it and those of us who do good for us

    I really like this song. I like how it's kind of like an argue between him and her. It's sad and makes me appreciate, in my life, my husband. That part, " When we're dead, and we'll be dead, we'll have eternity and I will spend it all missing you , missing you and me" aaaahhh! :( brings me bittersweet sadness feelings. Makes me get teary eyed. I love it. This is a great song
