This song will bring a grown man to tears

[@sergiosarnicola2365]

True

[@anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858]

_funny you'd say that..._

[@lanclane270]

Yes

[@nomadben]

Just did

[@mynameis_2389]

Never meant always makes me wanna cry but this song is a close second

[@GabrielleNavarro1111]

Instant chills when he starts playing the trumpet in the song.

[@caseycipriano57]

take in every moment of high school you can... I remember the first time I listened to American Football, it was during the last few months of my senior year. I was just driving home and listening to them just broke me down, especially this song. I thought back to the late nights with my closest friends, the football games, being in the band, and all my cross country meets. Im in my first year of college and all my friends have gone off to bigger universities. Sure we will see each other but not on a daily basis, won't be the same as high school, but nothing ever is. This album is the closest i will get to reliving my high school memories and how grateful i am to have had some cherish-able moments i will never forget, thank you American Football!

[@mushtaqsamim98]

Exact same feeling man, I suggest everyone enjoys their least few years of High School cause things CHANGE

[@skateboards5298]

When you're there in that moment you're not just ganna have that thought of "Oh this is the best time of my life, I better enjoy it..." When i was there just like everyone else I wanted to be anywhere else but there. That is the beauty of this music, nostalgia is a painfully beautiful thing that everyone must deal with at some point making the songs that much more poignant...duh...

[@memesthatmakeyouwannadie3133]

I listened to this album around the time I graduated college. Same feels. The band recorded this album because they were all about to graduate from UIUC and this was their last chance to record together. It really comes through in the music. Only Never Meant was finished before they started recording. Kinsella just wrote the rest of the lyrics over some instrumentals they had played before.

[@JB-yj9gb]

How do you feel now?

[@dinoyochi6947]

how old are u now

[@pagandaddy9458]

this song legit makes me cry

[@SimMaster]

+Maddy Martinez made me cry pretty hard once, but I was drunk too. Just reminded me of good times, warm summer nights, and friends that are all gone now

[@pagandaddy9458]

+SimMaster holy frick same

[@fringeclass6109]

Listened to this song laying in bed the night before the first day of my sophomore year... The last day of summer. Shed a 15 year old emo kid tear. Beautiful song.

[@skateboards5298]

no you didn't.

[@ronaldo78285]

So with you on that.

[@adims654]

God damn they sound good. That trumpet gave me chills

[@43PrcntBurnt]

Here after Lamos’ departure announcement. Hearing his trumpet made me more sad 😭 If American Football continues on, it won’t be the same without him. He’s irreplaceable, none of the members are really. Hoping Lamos the best!

Loved the song and Kinsella's color changing shirt.

[@kevin71794]

Idk man i played this song on guitar while wearing a crewneck sweater, next thing I knew I was wearing a flannel Its just different

[@StaggaLags]

Best version of this I've heard. Kinsella's voice held up well.

[@qpqojfmeinqiengqoe]

you're the only football i love

[@deerduster]

What's abt soccer 😉

[@thomasadams8727]

Liverpool

[@bagofbarbies126]

8 years ago when they posted this video I was absolutely blasted on my buddies couch while watching this with my all of friends at that time. I haven’t seen them in a while and we don’t really talk much but every time I watch this, I’m still on the couch hanging out with them and for that alone I will always hold this song, particularly this version dear to my heart.

[@arthuroliveira4326]

The trumpet can break any heart in this world

[@strugglesofa9-5life39]

Both has been so unhappy.... let’s just see what happens when summer ends.... line hits me every god damn time. :(

[@3badthebad]

this song always reminds me of all the memories I could’ve made in senior year if it wasn’t all spent looking at a computer screen, right before COVID, I just began opening up to people, making friends, and being legitimately happy after a long time, then the pandemic struck and washed that all away, I always wonder why it came to this...

[@dandan5928]

Try to remember that feeling when this is all over. Get out there and open up and make friends! All we can do is do our best with the time that is given us, my friend

[@GarethKitchenerMusic]

I remember reading this comment in the worst era of my life, and it totally broke me. I was going through the same things, the same thing, and this music was the only drug that numbed me. I am doing a lot better these days, and I hope you are too friend.

[@mdemanuel1911]

I think about this too. And can't help but feel grateful for the way the things happened. Sure it was horrible at first. But you'll realize something. And when you do. You're going to feel grateful for everything that has happened

[@osidiusemphatic3505]

That slight smile Nate does when he's enjoying playing always makes me smile too. He does it on the Tiny Desk video as well, when the kids are singing. We could all learn to enjoy the moment like he seems to.

[@metfan5751]

Songs like this are so inspiring to want to write music

[@__AFA]

American Football, Owen, LIES. The tunes transport me to an indescribable place in my mind, where I’m at peace with what is and isn’t, while scratching that itch for inspiration to continue on with dreams, hopes, and living for the now, Thanks Mike and the rest of the guys! ✨

[@ICOLLECTBASEBALL]

This is an amazing performance. American Football forever=)

[@zopecap]

I’m seeing them in september and I’m actually ecstatic. I’ve only been listening to them since the start of the year but they’ve became my all time fave. Hope they have fun in glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@MyChemicalLove011]

1 min in and I’m already tearing up. Damn it :,( this band makes me so damn emotional, in a good way.

[@NKMusic]

such a beautiful performance. they are amazing live.

[@Bayx92]

Yeah the trumpet is cool but could I just point out this specific emotion I feel at 1:59 where Holmes does this little guitar lick that transitions right into the end of Kinsella's part and it just keeps going and I'm like 😤😭

[@43PrcntBurnt]

Beautiful

[@ICOLLECTBASEBALL]

This is beauty. Nothing less..

[@muchtartidakbahagia]

Of all the beautiful melodies, that intro minimalistic drum pattern always got me in my feelings.

Delish song

[@thesummerends3968]

cool song

[@-h-y-p-e-n-]

Why can't the album version by in Eb? This is stellar, better than the studio version.

[@theophile3035]

+bluenavyband I don't think that the lower key makes it better... It's more the better quality sound and the bass I think

[@melgonzalez709]

+theophile richart wait what was it originally? is it down a half step?

[@theophile3035]

+mel gonzalez Yes. For Kinsella's voice I believe
