Sorry it's a little grainy! -- This was recorded off antenna back in the day, and there must've been a storm happening in the area the night that I recorded it.

what an amazing vocal performance goosebumps the entire time

[@maxtew6521]

Jim's intonation is remarkable.

[@startervisions]

interesting how the hook is in the verse, and the chorus still shines, really strong songwriting and arranging

[@101wut2]

Superb songwriting in Sweetness! It's the same vocal hook in the verses, the choruses and the later (post-instrumental) verse, but it appears over three different chord progressions, so it sounds fresh each time. It's how they can maintain a thread that ties the whole song together without getting repetitive. People always comment on how The Middle saved Jimmy Eat World, but the songwriting is consistently brilliant throughout the Bleed American album!
