Say Anything - The Writhing South

Say Anything's, The Writhing South!

[@morallyemptycorruptedmaggot]

Searching for blood in the salty sea The sun beating down On the chest in back of me Looking for drugs in a southern town I've got this red right hand That points me south The puke green clouds Just spat me out Into the hot, hot lands I landed with no shoes I hear "hey, come pollinate me" across the room, I hope to watch you Writhe again soon they've got the army of ears They can't hear you now I got the piss in my veins And these furrowed brows You've got this one last chance To burn me, turn me down If not, i've got these last 12 bucks To spend on you You can take me anywhere Your sick mind wants to Use yourself to fuel me using you I hear "hey, come pollinate me"

[@DropDeadZem]

I like how you can hear Max smiling

[@jacobturner8122]

My favourite comment ever, because it's so true.

[@innerdimension7992]

And spitting all over the mic in the booth. Or if it's live, all over the crowd lol

[@dannyj7618]

I can listen to this song for 50 times strainght - and it just doesnt get old. Also love the Burn A Miracle song.

[@anthonysimons825]

Loved them when I was 15 and 16, decided to see if I grew out of them. Fuck no I didn't.

[@dinocallas3804]

im 31 and can't stop listening.

[@Fire28Cold]

Dino Callas i fucking love them

[@ACVRG1]

You don't out grow good music...

[@travisharrington5819]

Yeah you guys ever just keep replaying these songs do you? It's like an all around personality band. What I love is how they all as switch up the rhythm or style they have playing. Shit is so interestingly amazing to listen to. Dude is always smiling when he's playing, I can just picture it.

[@checkerTUX]

SAAAAME

[@RandyAbeyta-kk7pu]

No drug no sex no voilice 1000% phenomenal music

[@BohemianAltruist]

my brother showed me this song when i was in seventh grade. I am now a sophomore in college and still listen to it.

[@Almondbutters34]

hope you graduated, and you're still listening

[@whatareyougay2826]

Nathan Wright I hope Nathan is still alive and doing well in life.

[@ChrisHasFunYT]

+Confused Potato I hope Potato is doing well and is no longer confused

[@iCanSeeVeryDetailed]

What are you up to now?

[@sashax33]

Still listening?

[@paulierave]

this whole album was golden

[@stinkypinkeee5085]

Best album this century...

[@stinkypinkeee5085]

"...is golden"...

[@CheeseMudDeeUh]

Across the room, across the room, I hope to watch you writhe again soon. I sit in class and think of these lyrics all the time, hell 1/10 of my thoughts in class are Say Anything lyrics

[@AlbertoRoa38]

Saw them live a few months ago and they open with this song. I have never screamed so loudly as the moment I saw Max Bemis run out onto the stage.

[@Alesanahxc]

2017 and still awesome.

[@stinkypinkeee5085]

2022, and still awesome...

[@shards0fwords]

Omg I still know all the lyrics 10+ years later

[@troubleb9296]

Learned how to play it in 2012, play it sometimes when I busk:)

[@t-revolution330]

GOOD TASTE IN MUSIC! STAY BLESSED WORLD... REVOLUTION SQAUD... OUT

[@UUnitarianUUnicorn69]

Amazing! Max Bemis is a philosopher.

[@kathrinewilcox4888]

Just ordered this album and i dont even have a CD player...guess i need to get one cause this shit hit hard back then and still punching my gut today...

[@XX-bo5pb]

I just found this bound like 10 minutes ago. HOLY CRAP I'VE BEEN MISSING OUT

[@DankToasty]

Oh yyeeeaaahhhhh

[@jacobturner8122]

The most underrated band ever? I think so. They're new shits just as great as their old stuff, how many bands can manage that? Not many.

[@JohnCephas]

"They're new shits."

[@jacedovale5122]

+Overlord Vegeta you take that back right now, you knucklehead.

[@iCanBeHeroic]

Underrated? Their concerts sell out pretty regularly that’s anything but “underrated”

[@hankmorris7610]

Their new trash is garbage juice. Max musta finally sold his $12 soul to writhe with the devil.

[@BushBumperBaker]

I love Say Anything, but that's a false statement and you know it.

[@NarcolepticNerdProductions]

I miss you already so much say anything (Max Bemis). I hope you come back someday

[@WocketInMyPocket7]

One of my favorite Say Anything songs. Soo aweesomeee

Fun fact: I have no idea what this is from, I just heard it in this video and spent all day looking for the full thing. It's pretty epic.

[@tylerwilliams6658]

Easily their best song.

[@watchersanimations6987]

@@tylerwilliams6658 yes

[@stinkypinkeee5085]

@@tylerwilliams6658 The songs on this album are all equal...it's near perfect...

[@HauntedHarmonics]

Does anyone ride that line between crass perversion & virtuosic beauty like Max does? Such talent, and his style is so uniquely him. There’s really nothing else like it, even after all these years

[@jacobfreeman3941]

I just happen to be listening to this (again) almost exactly 10 years from this video posting. Theres some coincednece if nothing else. Still one of my favorites

[@doodoobonejones]

Yikes! Walked into a hipster fight. Pea coats and scarfs are flying everywhere.

[@jacobturner8122]

Where are the hipsters? Let's fuck 'em up.

[@seitanicgirl]

Max could pollinate me any day.

[@Chr15Andr3w]

What the hell, I wasn't done. After listening to a few songs from "Anarchy,My Dear", I've decided I like ...Is a Real Boy much more and I still can't get enough of it all these years later.

[@helloredpanda]

The lyrics are fucking great.

[@keithflemingo]

Actually anything can be "addictive" it all depends on moh much you are in to something.

[@SPuckett36]

Last night in Asheville, NC was pretty amazing. Say Anything ripped.

[@semja]

I hear hey, hey hey hey, come pollinate me heyyyyy

[@JohnnySalpigidis]

As i have this video muted on my computer so I can hear it in my headphones, I know that this song is one piece of a two-piece puzzle. The other part is Looking For Alaska by John Green.

[@ajack1991]

i'm 31 and this still sounds amazing

[@stinkypinkeee5085]

I'm 49, and agree...this album rules all...

[@GDChuckDays]

I'd writhe for Max...

[@Firebreather01]

the bridge to this song is incredible

[@cdollarbillz]

This song is still awesome!

[@chatsenperkins1198]

100% awesome

[@taylormarsh1963]

Favorite song atm 3

[@synpet713192]

the yardbirds was an entirely different band beforehand with Jimmy Page. Led Zep were originally gonna go by "The New Yardbirds", but Keith Moon of The Who told them that that idea would go over like a lead balloon. Hence, Led Zeppelin

All the comments are old. We are still here

Remember the good old days when you could post a video of a song, and then edit in words thanking your audience using a Windows Editing System...lolz.

[@rogers873]

was it in Pensacola in October? they opened with the same song, I'm assuming because they were in the south.

[@treflip3601]

hell yeah dude hahaha

[@Folklorigin]

@xHigherxNowx Try their newest self titled album, it's not exactly in this vein, but it hails back to songs like this

[@XvEsunavX]

I've got these $12 bucks to spend on you... Lets get Papa Johns... A bottle of booze... and cuddle to bad movies. I know you'd love to.

[@martz1191]

$12 does not cover any of it. Maybe in 1978 it did.

[@tonypajamas610]

+Eddie Martz I'll have you know $12 can get you very drunk in a pinch. After that the rest just doesn't matter.

[@martz1191]

+The Pants Str8 alcohol

[@xxhardforcorexx1231]

Well, cuddling and watching bad movies is free, two people can definitely get drunk for $12, but Papi John's is like 20 something dollars when I order. Little Caesar's is more like it. Lol.

[@badgoy8439]

this was 2004 tho, pizza was probably like 6 bucks

[@Littleschopp]

I'll be there too.

you dont get over it.

[@danielleelizabeth8015]

lookin for drugs in a southern town... i feel like i should relate to this song on a more existential level. but nope. it's still amazing.

[@grimreap45678]

max's darker stuff like admit it, and in defense of the genre.. are his best... some stuff off the older albums too. cant compare them to led zeppelin though... everything led put out was great

[@flonzi]

believe it or not I'm pretty sure they came up with it themselves, it may sound just like the other thing, but it was their thing when they thought it up

[@eth0thepilot]

7 people are writhing again.

[@TheShitfobrains]

@Funwiththesaints no problem friend!!!!!!!

[@audrasupernova]

Come pollinate me hey

[@huggable2]

True but weed addiction isn't much different than my caffeine addiction

[@alygirl69]

@HyperKenji ha you're so right ;p

[@TheShitfobrains]

@Funwiththesaints No trolls here buck-o, I posted that comment cause I used to work at this pizza joint and I worked with some homosexuals and all they would play is this band, and it got old after a while, all they would talk about was say anything and how there music was a big part of the gay scene and how they would play them in all the gay clubs, im just stating what I know to be fact, its not a big deal, im sure they have straight fans too!!! I mean read some of these other comments

[@ian-zx7mp]

ive got these last 12 bucks to spend on u

Not a huge fan of max’s work but this song fuckin SLAYS

@treflip3601 lol i was just jokin around i was scopin out comments and fuckin with ppl

[@treflip3601]

@thefinner44 I think i sorta posted my comment wrong I think I meant how can you compare them its like comparing an ant to a gorilla there two completely different things

[@Funwiththesaints]

@TheShitfobrains OOOh ok! I apologize if I offended you.Thanks for clearing it up.. lol

[@thefinner44]

@AlebReborn good :)

[@rickysilk5268]

Imma just say it, I might cover this song and make it more famous than the original. I’ll do everything I can to make sure Max and the rest of Say Anything are recognized for this... whatever this is though. I’m not gonna call it a masterpiece but it’s a damn good song.

[@Lunatula]

@haackcody8 Haha That would! XD

[@mrimthebeast]

@slouis37 Wtf is a weed addiction?

[@helloredpanda]

@LEFT4BASS I think they're smexiiii, lawl

[@JuicerFriendly]

What I honestly hate is when people rip on other bands just because it's "not their genre", "this band sucks ass" or "these guys have no talent" well let me ask you this. Do you have a band of your own that's better than them? You don't have the right to say that because they're making money for the beautiful music they make. If you don't like, then leave. The last thing people need is someone like you ruining someone else's favorite song just because "you don't like it". Haters please, if you don't have anything nice to say, then shut the fuck up. :)

[@coleydrew]

fuck em. i was listening to this at 15 and my taste in music a changed ten fold in the past 8 years but my love for say anything will never die. theyre content is universal. people just hate on success...

[@TheSadistPaladin]

"wah someone dislikes something i like" You are literally just as bad as the people you are complaining about. Nice use of the passive-aggressive smiley face though.

[@synpet713192]
