@@tigosw I don't use Spotify because if you know what's really going under the hood, you wouldn't use it... So, this version is not there? Why do you think? I have no idea, just asking
same! very few songs come close, particularly from static prevails, clarity, and old splits. Secret Crush is maybe my next favorite - on the sense field/christie front drive/jimmy eat world split!
Jimmy Eat World - Softer She's perfect in her own way Smoke rings rising to the winter grey She's perfect in her own way Shining, stepping off a silver train Now I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth From the medicine that I can't keep down She's amazing in her own way Always moving to a better place She's amazing in her own way Laughing, you won't get to her weaker traits Now I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth From the medicine that I can't keep down You know time heals nothing by itself I see that ever so clearly now She looks a little bit different now Maybe a little bit softer round her eyes Just a little bit different now Maybe a little bit softer round her eyes The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center Take it slow and make it softer Easy, likes it nice and steady The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center Take it slow and make it softer Easy, likes it nice and steady The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center Take it slow and make it softer Easy, likes it nice and steady The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center Take it slow and make it softer Easy, likes it nice and steady Now I'm getting that sick taste in my mouth From the medicine that I can't keep down You know time heals nothing by itself I see that ever so clearly now The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center Take it slow and make it softer Easy, likes it nice and steady
What a gem. I discovered this while in 8th grade back in 2002 and it got me through more than a few heartbreaks lol.I don't listen to anything from middle school or highschool anymore but this one stays in rotation forever.
I remember when this came out. I LOVED Static Prevails, and when I heard the EP I listened to it over and over and lever again. After the “Stay By My Side” EP in 2005, I feel they lost of the edge they had. Saw them in 2018 or so, and they still rocked, though.
NicoleLikesGames I have no clue. I've even checked sound cloud and they have the live version too. I think it's something they wanted to do only live. Why idk, it's not on iTunes either.
@@semicloudy "Integrity Blues" has a few jams on it, but it's mostly 'Jim trying to figure out what younger Jim would do, and then do that', songwriting-wise. Even [and maybe especially] on the good songs: Just look at "Sure and Certain". I like the tune, it's catchy, but it literally scans like they looked at a sheet of "Jimmy Eat World guitar chords and tones", and then assembled the kit
I know this is a 4 year old comment, but that's a pretty shitty take. There's always something different on each album. "555," a single off of Surviving (the most recent release at the time of commenting), is pretty goddamn different for Jimmy Eat World. In my opinion, the only album that doesn't have something new would be Damage, but there's still some cool songs like "Byebyelove" and "You Were Good" that are different enough from their catalogue. Hell, this song isn't really trying something new for its time (considering this is around the Static Prevails, Clarity, Bleed American era). This is along the same lines as Thinking That's All, Your New Aesthetic, and Get It Faster as far as the "post hardcore Jimmy Eat World" kind of sound goes. 12.23.95 is more adventurous in production than this tbh.
This song just screams late 90's sound. Hidden gem of a track.
Yeah, Sorry .. thks btw! But I still want this version on Spotify
had this 10in, lost, been searching for this song for 10+ yrs, FINALLY

It’s always magical when you discover deep cuts that are this banging!
This is their best song. Bring it to Spotify already
2022 and this is still my favorite Jimmy Eat World song

still listening to this in 2021...
You know time heals nothing by itself
by itself*
those guitar riffs 💚
This sound of this song perfectly describes my emotion today. Incredibly frustrated at myself.
why doesn’t Spotify have this song in studio version ;(
Something about this studio recording has always been soooo wonderful to me. I could discuss it for hours. Might partly be Zach’s drums.
drum tone is unreal in this
Same here
Yea he was smashing on this
Almost 10 years ago I asked Jim before the show if they still played 'She's Perfect' he thought for a sec and said no, sorry man.
They played it a couple of months ago in CA, apparently!
Jimmy Eat World - Softer
She's perfect in her own way
Smoke rings rising to the winter grey
She's perfect in her own way
Shining, stepping off a silver train
Now I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
She's amazing in her own way
Always moving to a better place
She's amazing in her own way
Laughing, you won't get to her weaker traits
Now I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
You know time heals nothing by itself
I see that ever so clearly now
She looks a little bit different now
Maybe a little bit softer round her eyes
Just a little bit different now
Maybe a little bit softer round her eyes
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy, likes it nice and steady
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy, likes it nice and steady
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy, likes it nice and steady

Excellent song!!!
Hell yea bro! This is softer Rock.
They were better then than now. They songs were more intricate in such a great way.

fueled by ramen then. now fueled by steak dinners.
best copy I have heard - can't find the cd...
It was never a CD. It was released as a 10” in 98. Pretty sure it only got one pressing as the idea was to convince Capitol to release Clarity
@@paulreg3122 I’ve got a CD at my house, there weren’t many.
Got CD. Would burn but you can just rip it here no?
@@loud_laughter i will have to look into that! Wow, nine year old comment.
@@paulreg3122 defo was a CD I remember selling it back in 2000 in the record shop I worked in
Best drum sound
I miss the mix of their early material.
Where can I find this song??????!I downloaded it from limewire a long time ago and lost it and now I can't find it on iTunes
I got it from there too!
+matt b Thank you so much! I swear I've looked everywhere.
Es Gonzalez your extremely sexy bro .

Fuck I love this
Newest comment is from like 9 months ago 😢
rad as fuck
I'd love to buy this version, but theres only the live version :( Any ideas?
NicoleLikesGames I have no clue. I've even checked sound cloud and they have the live version too. I think it's something they wanted to do only live. Why idk, it's not on iTunes either.
Too bad. But thanks for the answer
It's from the Jimmy Eat World self titled EP on Fueled By Ramen Records. I've seen it on Amazon.
The only place I can buy it now is for over 200 dollars on discogs. Glad I have an MP3 at least, of this record, I can send to you guys
@@Blindside23 please? I’d take it.
ticc tocc turn around
Mica Forney nasty bro. Come on here is 2019.
They only have the live recording on Apple Music. 😒
Why is this not on pandora
"The lights had just gone out at Rockefeller center", i live near Rockefeller center...
Lo-fi sounds best...
I died in middle school
Wasn't william bonney a song or band with that kid with really thick glasses... ? Been awhile

Greg Gotti They still do. Check out "Integrity Blues," and you'll understand.
