American Football - Stay Home (2020 Reprise) [OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO]

Показать описание

We decided to a) celebrate staying home by b) staying home and c) re-recording “Stay Home.” All tracks were single takes, spliced together through the magic of technology: Mike recorded audio and video first in Chicago, accentuating heartfelt lyrics with speed metal attire. Holmes recorded next out in the ‘burbs, throwing in a tempo flutter for the sake of live-band authenticity. Lamos went third out in Colorado, sporting the tiniest of hats while squinting often. Cory—or, at least Cory’s hands and torso—went next, out in Queens. Flanked by a carpet deodorizing machine, Nate completed the cycle somewhere in Lincoln, Nebraska. A lot of people (us included) have a natural tendency to stay home. And now, strangely, that’s the responsible way to be. We hope at the very least that our homemade and tech-lite video will serve as a distraction from anxiety-inducing news coverage and stress about the future. And at best, maybe it will remind you that your antisocial tendencies are justified. You’ve been making the right decision all along: stay home.
Together in isolation,
American Football

Filmed at home by Mike Kinsella, Steve Holmes, Steve Lamos, Nate Kinsella, and Cory Bracken.

Audio mixed by Nate Kinsella
Edited by Janelle Abad

Lyrics:
Don't leave home again if empathy takes energy.
cause everyone feels just like you.

That's life –
So social.
So physical.
So "so-so".
So emotional.
So stay home.

I'll see you when we're both not so quarantined

I thought they lived together in the house of the album's cover

I don't think the drummer has ever been given enough credit for his classy technique. Lovely.

They’re literally playing at their home place. This moment is everything

Feels like I’m a lonely 16 yr old again driving around my hometown contemplating life.

Love it.

I still remember watching this during the COVID epidemic when we were all at home. After everything we went through during the epidemic, I am thankful that we are still breathing until now.

We love American Football very much in Kazakhstan. 'Never Meant' is top-played song on radio after 'Bing Bang' by Korki Buchek

This video is my very first introduction of American Football. My first impression was they're like dads who decided to create music or covers in introspective way. It was like few days after when they uploaded this? I think?
Fast forward to few months later, I realized their true origins and history in Midwest Emo genre and music in general. I became addicted to them, specially when my friends (online and irl) also started to share some posts about them. I still am, and learning to play all their songs in guitar, and maybe even drums.

Great performance. I left my building for the first time in a month yesterday, and today I went to the park to take a walk. The sky was gray, and I put on "Never Meant" and it was one of the most beautiful moments of my life lol. Hang in there, everybody

I love that Nate's part of the equation. He's a terrific musician. AmFoo is my favourite band in the whole world, still. When I was 16, I didn't know I had what was used to be called Asperger's. Today I smile a whole lot when I hear these lyrics. That's life, so social. After 20 years of love, I still Love you like the very first moment we met! <3
