I never really got Jimmy Eat World. They were just that song and that album to me. But I saw them last summer when they were out with Manchester Orchestra. Now I get them a whole lot more. Weird how often you have to see a band to get them. Handy, though - makes it easier to justify going to lots of shows. Thanks for the read!
This was such a great take on Clarity! I think this album does sit right in that bridge between emo purists and main stream pop punk. I don't get tired of it yet to date. What you said about Ten and Clarity mirrors my experience first listening to those tracks catching phrases here and there to relate to the best I could. I understand them a lot better now and feel them more deeply.
Both times I've seen Jimmy Eat World they extend there performance of Goodbye Sky Harbor and it's so good. I didn't pay attention to the track till I heard them play it live. Watching them loop and get creative with it is a treat. I didn't know it was a reference to the airport when I first listened either, I always thought it was a metaphor too. It's a good name for an airport.
I also met them before a concert once totally by accident because I showed up the venue early and got lumped in with radio contest winners. They were the nicest dudes, I still have autographed pic. Thank you for the read and your great takes!
