Isn't it weird how, as an outsider who doesn't really fit in, it's still very hard to fit in with other outsiders. But I guess that's the point. To not fit in. That's what an outsider is, right? A misfit. I'm really frickin proud to be a misfit. I never wanna be cool.
See I feel exactly the opposite. The ones that come easily are always the best ones for me when I write. It’s the one I work on for a month that ends up being weak. Love ya JEW you’re a HUGE influence on this album I’m working on!
I think ultimately we all go through feelings of not being accepted, or hurt because of rejection, or felling hurt for not fitting in or not feeling normal. For such a simple song it has such a powerful message. I'm really glad they made this. I think it therapeutic for a lot of people
At around 2:20, Jim basically calls out the bullshit about how a large chunk of the music industry is churning out "punk" nowadays that is totally corporate, overproduced, and as un-punk as music can be. Or at least, that's how I heard it.
Alternative88D I was just gonna comment on that... it's like... if that one eyebrow had a symmetrical counterpart, then that guy would totally have a unibrow. guy's a millionaire, get some tweezing done, bro, am i right?
They didn't really tell a story of anything lol. Like at 2:03 Jimmy is talking about the band's emails and commenting on punk people saying "you dont want to be friends with them anyways" lol love how this gives me so much insight on what they put into the song, inspirations, how they got a certain sound ect... haha :P
Sydni S in the music video everyone is naked and and the main guy is wearing cloths and later meets a girl whos also dressed. idk maybe that was something to do with the email.
Its about that girls that wrote him email about his problems( any student that have problem to fit in) he sings about its all right to not fit in or beein outsider, couse you dont wanna friends whose want you to change ,, you r All right,All right,,. Basiclly its about one part of your life when you feel deep in theese situations IT doesnt need to be Scholl, work or anything, its just about feelin beenin misfits becouse thats what we do as Punk Rockers, we does not fit. Thats our way
Adkins was actually very photogenic this whole time. Who knew? He was always a lyrical genius, but in the waning days of the boy band fluff - if he looked like this then, they'd be like Maroon 5 except not terrible and objectively great. Guns & Roses in the sense that everyone could agree were great, not just hardcore fans. Better, I personally liken the Guns & Roses sound to the torturing of an alley cat accompanied by a piano thrown down a couple dozen flights of stairs
Love the message this song sends. Upbeat, positive and good. The video sends a good message too i.e. get away from the naked, go along crowd. Although the practical nudity of hundreds of girls wasn't good...cruel to do that to the young men on set and who see it...self abuse and lusting after girls instead of loving and respecting them isn't healthy. God bless~
Couldn’t hear a word they said cause the song is good and it was too loud witch made it distracting. Hope you learn something from this comment cause now I have to watch the video again just to try to hear what they were saying. Bad production.
Jim looks like a mix of Tom Delonge and Jim Carrey
Tom Delonge was my first thought, when I saw him and the guy beside him looks a bit like Mark Hoppus 😂
I always thought the same thing
I think he looks like that guy 'oz' from american pie. Might also be because they have the similar curtains fringe cut.
Yes thats true
Thats in my head cant say it though but thanks
This is exactly what I think and not able to explain.
Imagine being that 13/14 year old that emailed Jim's parents computer and birthed this monumental track.
Your band is one of the kindest and best rock groups in the world. God bless U forever!
Jim has the best humor.
imagine one of the worlds biggest songs being written FOR YOU and ABOUT YOU

I love JEW and The Middle (and many of their songs) is on constant play via Spotify.
arikeer I was confused when u put JEW but realize those are the initials of jimmy eat world
Jew😬
I too very much have an admiration for the Jews and the classic rock song titled " The middle"
hes so cuteee ugh
See I feel exactly the opposite. The ones that come easily are always the best ones for me when I write. It’s the one I work on for a month that ends up being weak. Love ya JEW you’re a HUGE influence on this album I’m working on!
I saw these guys opening for mychem in March. They were absolutely amazing!
would love to share a beer with these dudes
I owe it to guys like this for getting me onto pop rock/pop punk and off of stupid Hot Topic metal (BVB, BMTH, AA)
Haha yes!! *high fives*
You're better off here
Eh, I like all of those genres and artists tbh

Simple and yet, excellent execution.

Absolute classic!!!!!

To be fair, 90's culture is sort've in right now.
Great song.
the middle is a awesome song
The Middle is their least emo song for sure you would know if your a fan
That eyebrow...

So it's like you want something or whatever that's hard to get and you get it but you don't deserve it because you didn't work for it?
I knew someone must have got too excited in there lol

Jimmy eats carrey
Dear punk tweenie, whoever you are: thank. you.
Did the girl ever reveal herself? Just wondering
2:53 it was a fun video. A bunch of kids supposedly representing underage kids having softcore porn... What great times. Whoo. Yeah. (horrible).
How do You feel about Kelly Clarkson ripping off this song?
:)
Couldn’t hear a word they said cause the song is good and it was too loud witch made it distracting. Hope you learn something from this comment cause now I have to watch the video again just to try to hear what they were saying. Bad production.
Pixar me rechazó
The video to this song is dumb and unfitting, and I am not a Jimmy Eat World fan per se, but I love this song and its lyrics. 7th grade...!
