Jimmy Eat World OCT. 30, 2007

Jimmy Eat World is my favorite band. Period.

Jimmy Eat World has been my favorite band for several years now & I've seen them twice- once at Fallout in Columbia & once at the MB House of Blues. Both concerts were awesome, but I just saw them live again in Raleigh, NC & I seriously can't get over it. There's just something about the experience of seeing your favorite group live - the one you're so passionate about. It's just indescribable.

That's the best I've ever seen them live & they played every song I'd want them to play. The lights were incredible & the sound was perfect. It really was like an out of body experience. I was truly speechless afterwards. I just love the way good music, especially live concerts, makes me feel. It's hard to wake up & leave.

Here's the set list minus 1 or 2 songs I can't remember. After that I've written some of my favorite JEW lyrics & added links to a video of the song if available. : )

For Me This is Heaven:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQbC3yN3870
The time, such clumsy time, in deciding if it's time.
I'm careful but not sure how it goes.
You can lose yourself in your courage.
The mindless comfort grows when I'm alone with my 'great' plans.
This is what she says gets her through it:
"If I don't let myself be happy now, then when?"
If not now when?
When the time we have now ends.
When the big hand goes round again.
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
Close my eyes and believe wherever you are, an angel for me.

23:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veA2y6Wagjk
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
But what are you hoping for?
I'm here and now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Work:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m00ErmEWAC8
If you only once would let me
Only just one time
Then be happy with the consequence
With whatever's gonna happen tonight
Don't think we're not serious
When's it ever not?
The love we make is give and it's take
I'm game to play along…
Work and play they're never okay
To mix the way we do

Disentegration:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEYgB5qeOLs
I wonder why I'm so caught off guard when we kiss.
Rather live my life in regret than do this.
What happened to the love we both knew?
We both chased.
Hanging on a cigarette you need me,
you burn me, you'll burn me.
Hushed with a finger
Don't say you'll never when you might.

Kill:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhhF_U3H2cw
Funny how I'm nervous still
I've always been the easy kill
I guess I always will…
Could it be that everything goes 'round by chance?
Or only one way that it was always meant to be
You kill me, you always know the perfect thing to say
I know what I should do, but I just can't walk away…
Oh God, please don't tell me this has been in vain
I need answers for what all the waiting I've done means
You kill me, you've got some nerve, but can't face your mistakes
I know what I should do, but I just can't turn away…
So go on love
Leave while there's still hope for escape
Got to take what you can these days
There's so much ahead and
So much regret
I know what you want to say
I know it but can't help feeling differently
I loved you, and I should have said it
But tell me just what has it ever meant
I can't help it baby this is who I am
Sorry sorry but I can't just go turn off how I feel
You kill me, you build me up, but just to watch me break
I know what I should do, but I just can't walk away.

Polaris:

I feel that when I'm old
I'll look at you and know
The world was beautiful…
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me
