mallory k it was! I remember seeing a fly in the food (not joking lol) and now I can’t see shit. Is CZcams pulling an pole where they purposely make old things into shitty quality?!
Well yeah it was then. But if you look in settings now this video is running 240p and we're used to probably 720p you posted this and 1080p and above now
I'm not crying, you're crying! But seriously, this song still hits hard. I can't believe it's been 10 years. Sometimes I wonder whether anyone else even remembers TAI. They had a few popular songs, but I think they've been unfairly grouped in with all the similar, inferior bands that were around at the same time, so people seem to have mostly forgotten them. Crazy. Fast Times at Barrington High is STILL one of my all-time favorite albums. Every single track on it reminds me of early-2000s summers spent hanging out with friends and crushing on boys sporting emo kid bangs and band shirts. TAI epitomizes the sound of my early adolescence, when I first started to develop a musical taste that differed from that of my parents and peers. I remember having to change into my Black Parade Is Dead! tee shirt after I got to school because my mom hated it, hated the music I listened to and the clothes I liked to wear. That was a really special time in my life because I started to piece together my own unique sense of identity, experimenting with different styles and figuring out who I was, not who my parents or peers expected me to be. I greatly credit bands like The Academy Is... for helping me to find myself at a time when it really felt taboo to go against the grain and be myself.
Try being called gay when your not your emo and then not being able to listen to my fave bands and then not being to fine my true self untill i. 17 and a half soon though they'll see what i am really like inside
I remember when my mother and I were listening to this song a few years ago... She thought it was a cover, "Because poor William is just too young to know pain like that!" I love my mom. :) She took me to so many of their concerts, and she jumped around with me when we got to meet Adam T. Siska. It's hard to be away from her, while I'm at college.
I remember listening to this song and loving every minute of it, not really understanding a damn thing, not about the language nor about the true meaning behind the words. And looking back, I don't think I needed, this band talked to me, in ways the language could never
La relalidad es que no hay un día que no te recuerde desde hace tres años. Nuestras memorias se estan consumiendo poco a poco, y "todo lo que teníamos, ya no esta ahi". Cuanto te echo de menos gizmo. Hoy recorde el nombre de la cación, y aqui estoy escuchandola.
me at 13: never had a relationship/had my heart broken ever also me at 13: “TAKE THE PAIN OUT OF LOVE AND THE LOVE WON’T EXIIIIISSSSTTTTT!!!!!!” 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔🗡🗡
Love that the resolution forces you to experience this masterpiece through the haze of a soaking wet emo bang. Really captures that whole "this song came up on my Launchcast and now it's my profile song for Myspace" vibe
I love how I feel he's singing to me. Like the way he's looking at the camera so sincerely and heart felt. I like that, it makes the lyrics feel more meaningful.
Let's stay at the posetive side: He can fly up from a swiming pool, he has healing cake power, He can go backwards without hitting any people, his jacket flies back on him, he makes the girl un-cry, he gets a present on his way back, and he get's a smile from the girl when he goes.
Music is so amazing in the sense that you can revisit songs you couldn't have given a shit about 13 years ago, but you absolutely cherish today based on some weird ass nostalgia. I LOVE this shit.
2021, i felt the lyrics in my life 💔 i can relate in terms of a relationship. It shows remorse feeling when a guy done something foolish to ends a serious romance with her. somebody that honestly love him. the guy misses her , admitting his mistakes and flaws, want's her back, but it's too late. she felt pain and brokenhearted, even won't talk anymore. using light of the lamp as a metaphore, they relationship were good times, but it after it happens, it's just wasnt there anymore .. it's over 💔
William is currently engaged and has a two year old daughter named Genevieve. This shouldn't matter though. He's an amazing singer and song writer who has real talent. Let's try to acknowledge that more than his personal life.
suddenly out of the blue, this song rang the bell on my ears after all these years that I haven't heard this song so I searched for it.. man, it's still something that's so good. like really. but what the heck with the video quality. I remembered this to be on high quality.
Every time.... This band has the most intriguing, engaging video clips of any I've seen and it's a constant, too, for almost every song. I wish there were more :(
bill beckett has one of those voices that you can notice at anytime, you know what i mean? it's just so different, its so delicate, so beautiful. i love TAI...
I could still remember it. I found out about this band on the day the broke up:( I saw the comments and I was so sad. And this was the first song and video I've ever heard from them! I'll miss them so much

I used to believe (back then) this video's quality was perfect
mallory k it was! I remember seeing a fly in the food (not joking lol) and now I can’t see shit. Is CZcams pulling an pole where they purposely make old things into shitty quality?!
mallory k Likewise!
the resolution is getting higher on our screens, so the old digital stuff that used to look good is all stretched out now
It was.
compared to the 50s
Well yeah it was then. But if you look in settings now this video is running 240p and we're used to probably 720p you posted this and 1080p and above now
Had a nostalgic moment and started listening to bands I haven't listened to since middle school.
You too!?
Same here I went on a hunt for all the songs I listened to when I was 16 in 2008 and 2009
FEEEELIIIING SO OLD NOW , i used to love this band bck then
I'm doing that right now! Talk about them feels!
Kara Additon Doing it right now too! Ahhh TAI
I'm not crying, you're crying!
But seriously, this song still hits hard. I can't believe it's been 10 years. Sometimes I wonder whether anyone else even remembers TAI.

They held such a big place for me musically in high school, I will always listen to them. Takes me right back, I love how music can do that
I'm a 26 year old construction worker and I relate so much to this post
The Academy Is, Was, And will ever be.....In our memories

It's hard to be away from her, while I'm at college.
Sounds like you got a cool mom.
This memory just popped on my head and so did in yours. 15 years ago!? Damn im old 😂
The nostalgia is strong with this one
16 year old me loved this song. 10 years later and I'm still loving it. #EmoNeverDies
0:50 Damn he made a cake with his hands! I love him.
That’s how I make them.
This band needs to be noticed more :(
This band needs to get back together.... :(
Erin Rose Only a hand full of us remember seems like...
Im so excited to see them this October 🥹
I want to cry every time I hear this song. It never gets old.
La cancion no envejece,solo nosotros jajaja...
Take the pain out of love, and then love won't exist.

Couldn't help but to spend hours searching for this song late tonight
Still listening in 2020. Starting off this decade right!
So you did this
I was going through my long-term high school breakup when this song came out. It's crazy how much a song can connect with pain even a decade later
My favorite part about this song is the line "for you I am blinded." The way William sings it is gorgeous, and it's a beautiful line. Very poignant.
yea
So excited that they're back together now 🥳🥳🥳
Tears . Everywhere there are tears .
I will never get tired of this song.

Holy nostalgia.

"take the pain out of love and then love won't exist"
^^ amazing lyrics .
yea
I want to go back to this era so bad. I remember first listening to this when I was 13 now I’m 27 😩😭
Love that the resolution forces you to experience this masterpiece through the haze of a soaking wet emo bang. Really captures that whole "this song came up on my Launchcast and now it's my profile song for Myspace" vibe
I just started listening to this band today and i'm already amazed by them :D
I love finding new fav bands every day :)
2023 anyone?
ofc!!! :))
I love how I feel he's singing to me. Like the way he's looking at the camera so sincerely and heart felt. I like that, it makes the lyrics feel more meaningful.
I know..those beautiful brown eyes looking at me….ugh😍🥰
This song always brings a tear in my eye
Will's voice is so soothing in this song
The Academy is is one of the best
😭😭😭 I'm crying because this was the best music in all the world
10 years and I still remember the lyrics 😢😢
10 years, i still can't believe it
This is still my go to cry song. how has so much time gone by
El comentario en español ( que nostalgia seguir viendo esta joya )
Siempre las leyendas vuelven
super nostalgic, had forgotten how much i loved this band!
2020, still listening.
There are no songs like this out there anymore... Golden days...
Agree
everyone saying how they used to listen to this middle school makes me feel so old. i was listening to this in college
I love this song. It's how I feel sometimes: taken advantage of, not paid attention to...
Let's stay at the posetive side: He can fly up from a swiming pool, he has healing cake power, He can go backwards without hitting any people, his jacket flies back on him, he makes the girl un-cry, he gets a present on his way back, and he get's a smile from the girl when he goes.

Awesome band! Wish they were still around. Amazing song and a perfect video.
RIP The Academy Is... :( I never even got to see them live, that was on my bucket list.
William is currently engaged and has a two year old daughter named Genevieve.
This shouldn't matter though. He's an amazing singer and song writer who has real talent. Let's try to acknowledge that more than his personal life.
De mis favoritas por siempre 💕

You will be missed, TAI. Thank you.

"Everything we had, is no longer there." The words seem simplistic, but when you think about it, it is actually very deep.
Every time.... This band has the most intriguing, engaging video clips of any I've seen and it's a constant, too, for almost every song. I wish there were more :(
FOR YOU I AM BLIIIINDEDDDDDD FOR YOU I AM BLIIIIIIIIIINDED FOR YOU
