That thumbnail was way ahead of it's time

”Translate all the colors that i cant see” sounds even better when you are colorblind, just like me.

"My instincts are the

I can sing that chorus all day, this is a song that really touches the heart.

I wonder if, 3 years ago, anyone would have guessed that AF would reunite, make news songs AND have videos with japanese people cooking and playing bowling.

This city is Matsumoto, Nagano Pref., Japan and my hometown.

[zbrown]

The old japanese man who got that strike is my spirit animal.

[davesv]

This is amazing because the majority of Japanese indie rock is in the style of American Football. Great video

[luccamazza]

This video makes me want to stay alive

[TheFallOfManbearpig]

"days are nights, and nights are unbearable" :( the feels

[TrinityRourke]

listening to this band when you are depressed is so fucking different than when youre not. Idk how to explain it. But I'd relate it to watering plants when they are first planted, compared to when they are first starting to grow and bloom. At first I was just excited and didn't know what to expect, but now that I've seen the beauty of it, it's not more of a chore to me to water them every day, it just feels... right. I'm going through such a hard time in my life right now, but listening to them just feels... right.

Awesome video, good job Chris Strong. For those who don't know, it's the same guy who took the picture of the AF house

[uniworkhorse]

Imagine you stumble upon watching this for the first time and think that American Football is a Japanese band

[georgeleslie]

A Japanese exchange student lives in a sleepy, rural Midwestern town in America, all the while his friends and family live out their lives in Japan. At 3:55 you can tell that he takes solace in his situation as he thinks of them.

[ITzDethroneR]

100% chances this video will make you a better person

[OceanMetTheSky]

I really like the colors and just overall shots of every scene in this. The city lights, the night scenes, the evening scenes, all of it. It really compliments the song.

[versnellingspookie]

I love how their voices have matured like fine wine

[cristianandrade]

Their drummer plays some amazing ass fills

[Bubibubabubi]

It's like Radiohead, but i don't want to die

[lizs]

the 2nd half of this song kinda reminds me of "honestly" from their debut album

[moon-vfmx]

the vibe this band brings is unreal, I can listen to this all dayyy long and all night.
