It Matters is track 3 of 12 on [[Jimmy Eat World]]'s album [[Integrity Blues]]. It is one of the only tracks by the band to not feature any guitar. <ref>{{Citation|last=Cohen|first=Ian|title=Jimmy Eat World: Integrity Blues Album Review|publisher=Pitchfork|access-date=2021-02-05|date=2016-10-22|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/22378-integrity-blues/|website=Pitchfork|quote=Integrity Blues is in the exquisite, crystalline mold of “Polaris” or “Ten” and they’ve never successfully spent the majority of any album in this mode until now. The rumbling exposition of “Sure and Certain” and its choral liftoff nods back at professed superfans Chvrches, “It Matters” is unusually slinky and guitar-free, “Pretty Grids” is damn near translucent. Elsewhere, they prove deft and evoking their past glory without rehashing it: actual adult breakup ballad “The End Is Beautiful” is a crossbreed of “Hear You Me” and“Cautioners,” and Jimmy Eat World can still write spring-loaded, major-third melodies (“Through”) and add to their flawless run of 6+-minute epics (closer “Pol Roger” is “23”going on 40).}}</ref>

== Lyrics ==
[Verse 1]

We're losing several steps ahead, it's strange

Anything you do, any way you move

Then with any strain it feels so helpless

A trap we build ourselves, we can't be without

[Chorus]

When you pull away, I say it matters

With a quiet face, I break, I shatter

Then okay, we'll trade, but after

Nothing new to see, saying what you mean

When you pull away

[Verse 2]

I imagine talks that last all night

Never bring it up, but every day I want to

I think about us dancing, but it's not something we do

Well there's my dream, doesn't it sound good to you?

[Chorus]

When you pull away, I say it matters

With a quiet face, I break, I shatter

Then okay, we'll trade, but after

Nothing new to see, saying what you mean

When you pull away

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

When you pull away, I say it matters

With a quiet face, I break, I shatter

Then okay, we'll trade, but after

Nothing new to see, saying what you mean

When you pull away

Nothing new to see, saying what you mean

When you pull away

== Recording Details ==
After touring in support of [[Damage]], the band members took a break to focus on individual projects throughout most of 2015 <ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.loudersound.com/features/jimmy-eat-world-integrity-blues-interview-tour|title=How Jimmy Eat World made Integrity Blues|last=de Gallier|first=Thea|date=2016-09-27|access-date=2022-06-06|website=Louder Sound|publisher=Louder|quote=How Jimmy Eat World made Integrity Blues
By Thea de Gallier published September 27, 2016

Jimmy Eat World tell TeamRock why a long break was necessary before working on their ninth album

Jimmy Eat World release Integrity Blues on October 21

Their ninth album, Integrity Blues, is one of the deepest yet in terms of subject matter. After taking a year out from band duties, during which time bassist Rick Burch discovered a passion for distilling, and drummer Zach Lind self-released music with his wife, the band realised their next album had to be a meaningful snapshot of the stage they were all at in life. Integrity Blues was born, marking the start of a new, grown-up chapter for Jimmy Eat World. We sat down with the band to find out more.

You’ve talked about this album being about accepting life and the changed it throws at you. What made you want to write something that philosophical?

Jim Adkins (vocals/guitar): “It’s just part of growing up, which is funny to say being as old as we are. The only thing consistent in life is that it’s going to change, and I think that’s something that gets shown to you over and over as time goes on. I guess [it’s about] finding your way through that – you can look at it as a challenge, or you can look at it as an opportunity. If you look at it as an opportunity you end up in a place where you can grow from it. That’s also been shown over and over again, and the rewards from that are hard to quantify. If you just look at things as an opportunity for growth, you’re always shown something that you didn’t expect. that ends up leading you to a better place.”

Jim: “It’s an all-encompassing feeling. I noticed myself getting stuck writing lyrics because I’d instantly see through what I was talking about, and I’d be like, ‘this is pointless’. I’d see through the futility of the struggle of the speaker of the song and would just get stuck at trying to move on. After a while I started thinking, ‘what’s really behind that?’ If the problem isn’t interesting, what’s the real solution behind it?”

Was it quite a collaborative writing effort?

Jim: “It was pretty collaborative, you never clock out of this gig, you’re always working on material. Things might not turn into a complete song right away but you never throw anything out, and over time that generates a big stack of ideas. Some things are closer to being full songs, some things just stay as scraps for a long time, and all of it ends up going through a band editing process and being fleshed out into that state where it’s a real song.”

Rick Burch (bass): “This time we brought in a producer really early on, when things were still at the snippet stage. Generally in the past when bringing in a producer, we’ve already developed a lot of ideas into a complete demo version of the song, but this time we started collaborating early on with Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Paramore, Tegan and Sara). It was great to have that outside perspective.”

Are there any particular songs that he really brought to life?

Jim: “Going away for a year before we started working on Integrity Blues and just taking total time off from the band helped us refresh our perspective on how we wanted to challenge ourselves. This is our ninth album, and really, why should it exist at all? We had to find that place where we could answer that for ourselves. You’re faced with a musical puzzle when you’re writing and recording, and sometimes you take the easy, familiar road to solve the problem and you don’t even realise you’re doing it, but there might be a more challenging interesting road that you need that outside perspective to bring in and further challenge you. So I guess having Justin in the process was really helpful across the board, we got the feedback we’d never have come up with on our own. A song like Pass The Baby, it always was the concept that it is, but I think that we might not have chosen to develop that to a complete state without him pushing us on.”

Are there any songs that went through a total rework from what they began life as?

Jim: “Integrity Blues, the title track, started off as an acoustic waltz kind of thing. I wouldn’t say we reworked it, but there was definitely a handful of different ways we could have gone with making it. It ended up being this unusual ensemble accompanying me just singing. I don’t think we have anything like that on our other records.”

Get Right has been called the ‘comeback track’. Do you see it that way?

Zach: “We didn’t really plan it out that way, but I think it was a good song to start off with, and coupled with Sure And Certain, those songs seemed to do a pretty good job of getting people ready for what was coming on the record. One of the main reasons why Get Right was one of the ones we released early was because the UK label really liked it and wanted a rock song to start things off over here.”

Now your tour dates have been announced, which songs are you looking forward to performing live?

Rick: “Get Right is like a familiar Jimmy Eat World song.”
Jim: “Now that we’re getting to the stage where we’re performing this stuff for people, we’re learning more about the songs. Get Right is fun to play, it’s just more of a rock song. I think the material’s kind of new for people – haven’t had a lot of time to digest it, and if you’re going to hear something you don’t know it’s easier to hear something that’s more upbeat.”

[Verse 1]

When I first came to see you

I called it Houston Street

Could we meet?

Show me all the things you see

I'm one more here

Some old-time pioneer

Who believes with a shaken faith

I still have some cool

[Pre-Chorus]

I could leave you here with your 'people'

If I'm the flag you'd not prefer to wave

[Chorus]

You're always in my head

You're just what I wanted

I live in constant debt

To feel you, invented

[Verse 2]

When I first came to LA

I met you the old fashioned way: too drunk

And even worse, much too lonely

I'll leave it there

A busted homesteader

Who believes in virgin grace

Somehow, I'll stay proud

[Pre-Chorus]

Any dick can roll up in a suit

But only I would know what really moves you

[Chorus]

You're always in my head

You're just what I wanted

I live in constant debt

To feel you, invented

[Bridge]

There's a cinematic end

I picture it just right

Having trouble with the right words

But you tell me with your eyes

There's something good I miss

There's something I can't find

Do you believe me now?

Can you see it in my eyes?

See it in my eyes?

See it in my eyes?

[Chorus]

You're always in my head

You're just what I wanted

I live in constant debt

To feel you, invented

I wish I could hold

I wish I could touch

But a fool just wants and wants

It's all what you do

When no one cares

No one's chasing you

No one's making you

Spend lonely nights

Poisoned through and through

It's all what you do

When no one is there

It's all what you do

When no one cares

I get lost and think

Lose myself to dreams

The world moves anyway

The world will have its say

Lord, I'm wondering

If what you're telling me

Is I got work to do

Yes, I got work to do

I wish I could hold

I wish I could touch

But a fool

Just wants and wants and wants and wants

It's all what you do

When no one is there

It's all what you do

When no one cares

Jimmy Eat World tell TeamRock why a long break was necessary before working on their ninth album

Jimmy Eat World release Integrity Blues on October 21

Their ninth album, Integrity Blues, is one of the deepest yet in terms of subject matter. After taking a year out from band duties, during which time bassist Rick Burch discovered a passion for distilling, and drummer Zach Lind self-released music with his wife, the band realised their next album had to be a meaningful snapshot of the stage they were all at in life. Integrity Blues was born, marking the start of a new, grown-up chapter for Jimmy Eat World. We sat down with the band to find out more.

You’ve talked about this album being about accepting life and the changed it throws at you. What made you want to write something that philosophical?

Jim Adkins (vocals/guitar): “It’s just part of growing up, which is funny to say being as old as we are. The only thing consistent in life is that it’s going to change, and I think that’s something that gets shown to you over and over as time goes on. I guess [it’s about] finding your way through that – you can look at it as a challenge, or you can look at it as an opportunity. If you look at it as an opportunity you end up in a place where you can grow from it. That’s also been shown over and over again, and the rewards from that are hard to quantify. If you just look at things as an opportunity for growth, you’re always shown something that you didn’t expect. that ends up leading you to a better place.”

Jim: “It’s an all-encompassing feeling. I noticed myself getting stuck writing lyrics because I’d instantly see through what I was talking about, and I’d be like, ‘this is pointless’. I’d see through the futility of the struggle of the speaker of the song and would just get stuck at trying to move on. After a while I started thinking, ‘what’s really behind that?’ If the problem isn’t interesting, what’s the real solution behind it?”

Was it quite a collaborative writing effort?

Jim: “It was pretty collaborative, you never clock out of this gig, you’re always working on material. Things might not turn into a complete song right away but you never throw anything out, and over time that generates a big stack of ideas. Some things are closer to being full songs, some things just stay as scraps for a long time, and all of it ends up going through a band editing process and being fleshed out into that state where it’s a real song.”

Rick Burch (bass): “This time we brought in a producer really early on, when things were still at the snippet stage. Generally in the past when bringing in a producer, we’ve already developed a lot of ideas into a complete demo version of the song, but this time we started collaborating early on with Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Paramore, Tegan and Sara). It was great to have that outside perspective.”

Are there any particular songs that he really brought to life?

Jim: “Going away for a year before we started working on Integrity Blues and just taking total time off from the band helped us refresh our perspective on how we wanted to challenge ourselves. This is our ninth album, and really, why should it exist at all? We had to find that place where we could answer that for ourselves. You’re faced with a musical puzzle when you’re writing and recording, and sometimes you take the easy, familiar road to solve the problem and you don’t even realise you’re doing it, but there might be a more challenging interesting road that you need that outside perspective to bring in and further challenge you. So I guess having Justin in the process was really helpful across the board, we got the feedback we’d never have come up with on our own. A song like Pass The Baby, it always was the concept that it is, but I think that we might not have chosen to develop that to a complete state without him pushing us on.”

Are there any songs that went through a total rework from what they began life as?

Jim: “Integrity Blues, the title track, started off as an acoustic waltz kind of thing. I wouldn’t say we reworked it, but there was definitely a handful of different ways we could have gone with making it. It ended up being this unusual ensemble accompanying me just singing. I don’t think we have anything like that on our other records.”

Get Right has been called the ‘comeback track’. Do you see it that way?

Zach: “We didn’t really plan it out that way, but I think it was a good song to start off with, and coupled with Sure And Certain, those songs seemed to do a pretty good job of getting people ready for what was coming on the record. One of the main reasons why Get Right was one of the ones we released early was because the UK label really liked it and wanted a rock song to start things off over here.”

Now your tour dates have been announced, which songs are you looking forward to performing live?

Rick: “Get Right is like a familiar Jimmy Eat World song.”
Jim: “Now that we’re getting to the stage where we’re performing this stuff for people, we’re learning more about the songs. Get Right is fun to play, it’s just more of a rock song. I think the material’s kind of new for people – haven’t had a lot of time to digest it, and if you’re going to hear something you don’t know it’s easier to hear something that’s more upbeat.”

Jimmy Eat World release Integrity Blues on October 21 through RCA. The band begin their tour on October 1.}}</ref>

Fingers in

Listen what voices say

Fingers in

Listen what voices say

You always wrote for me, ego

Risk worth taking, risk worth leaving

Seems I'm still afraid of promise

To promise

Too big to stop

Too big to hold down

Trade up for the fast ride<ref>This line is repeated in the song [[Futures]]</ref>

Trade your friends

Time passes us

Don't move

Be still

Be silent

Pulling your teeth, you push away

Cancel plans, cancel them all

Check your breath for cold and hold on

Please hold on

No pictures left to burn goodbye to

The smell of ash and white walls blank

Time passes us

Don't move

Be still

Be silent

Horizontal lines and button-up

Horizontal lines and button-up

Fingers in

Listen what voices say

The drawers of paper all say one thing

Like music boxes custom-made

Time passes us

Don't move

Be still

Be silent

Many entries online mention that Eric Richter sings on this track. This is likely because he's credited as singing "It's all the same..." in the liner notes. That line, however, is from the song [[Digits]], not In The Same Room. [[Jimmy Eat Pod]] questions whether or not the lyric is "She doesn't listen..." as opposed to "Fingers in listen..."

Orangewood Sessions drummer
I'm listening to the Orangewood Sessions from 1992. So far it's raw and in-your-face. If I'm not mistaken, Zach joined the band just after this album was released around 1993. Does anybody have any information on who the original drummer is?

thomcrowe
Zach has always been the drummer. He and Jim were friends since they were kids. There was another bassist, Mitch Porter, who left the band to serve his mission for the LDS church. He was replaced by Rick.

emi2018
This is actually incorrect, Zach replaced their original drummer . The original lineup was Rick, Tom, and the first drummer, the original drummer plays on the Orangewood Sessions. I don’t like to post his name publicly as I’m not sure he would be comfortable with that. I was the original drummers high school sweetheart and have known Rick and Tom since 1992 and Jim and Zach since 93/94. Edited to add that Mitch took over for Rick and then Rick replaced Mitch permanently. I don’t recall why Rick didn’t play with them for awhile, allowing Mitch to join, but there were lots of bands going on at that time and roles changed quite a bit.

thomcrowe
I learned something today. Thanks u/emi2018

emi2018
You’re welcome! I’m always so interested in reading people’s comments on the early days of the band, I feel so lucky that I was there for it and always try to chime in if I think I can provide helpful info.

Grimus! Where did a band come up with that name? It seems that McDonald's Happy Meals are a popular thing, since the McDonald's character Grimus is who the an is named after. Members ofthe band are seniors Tom Linton, who sings and plays the guitar, Ricky Burch who plays the bass, and junior Mason Coo-per on the drums. Members of the band say they met through friends. They have been together for three years. Because they all have jobs, their practice times vary. "We try to squeeze in at least a couple of hours three times a week," said band members. Their band has gone by many different names in the past, like Corn Bread, Sideburn Circus, Sooplex, and Creepdive. But this name looks like it's going to last. When asked if they've thought about changing it again, they said, "Nope, it hasn't come to thought." Performing together for three years has helped them solve another problem also. Band members said, We used to get nervous before a show, but more experience made it easier." Grimus has played at many clubs around the valley, including Sun Club, Hollwood Alley and The Silver Dollar Club. Tom explainecl,"Bars are fun to play at, but they only allow you to go inside if you are of age. I'd rather be hanging around with people my own age at clubs." When playing at clubs they are sure to tell their friends to come and join the crowd. The group has also played at private parties. Grimus hopes to soon cut a tape and hopefully encourage people to buy it. "I can't wait until we make money," said Mason. "Amen," added Ricky. '''Jammin'<nowiki/>''' Grimus practices after school at Mason Cooper's house. We get wild and crazy when no one is around and it's just the three of us,' said Mason. Ricky Burch added, 'Even with managing school, finding time to practice and working, we still find time to have fun. There's a time to be serious and a time to be mellow. 20 Entertainment News" <ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/JimmyEatWorld/comments/hqjwd7/my_brother_went_to_high_school_with_tom_and_i/|date=2020-07-13|title=My brother went to high school with Tom and I found this in an old yearbook.|last=u/i_chew_gum|website=Reddit|publisher=Reddit|access-date=2021-04-26}}</ref></blockquote>

Turn your fingers right off

Cross your heart now spin and fall

Haven't you got any passion at all?

Here is the guide to get you through this town

Can't see the mustard anymore

Lying on your back, down on the floor

Sentiment of old is gone away [?] is here to stay

Seen mine, seen yours

What's wrong?

It's not the way it used to be

What's my punishment going to be?

Decapitation of my trick?

It's always the same

It's always the same

Sure don't have any room today

Yeah a time about a week ago

All your pictures in righteousness

Tell me does the one stop now ?

My right to take a pee it's not the way it used to be

Seen mine, seen yours

What's wrong?

It's not the way it used to be

[Verse 1]

What's wrong baby?

Don't they treat you like they should?

Did you take them for it?

For every penny that you could?

We once walked out on the beach and once I almost touched your hand

Oh how I dreamed to finally say such things

Then only to pretend

[Verse 2]

Don't you know I'm thinking (know I'm thinking)

Driving 405 past midnight

You know I miss you (don't you know that I miss you?)

Ninth and Ash on a Tuesday night

I would write to you from Museum Mile

A toast to you: your whisper, your smile

Up the stairs at Weatherford

A ghost each place I hide

[Chorus]

If you don't, don't know, why would you say so?

Would you mean this please if it happens?

If you don't know, why would you say so?

Won't you get your story straight

If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?

'Cause I need this now more than I ever did

If you don't well, honey, then you don't

[Verse 3]

I left you waiting (I know I left you waiting)

At the least could we be friends?

Should have never started (never started)

Ain't that the way it always ends?

On my life I'll try today

There's so much I've felt I should say but

Even if your heart would listen

I doubt I could explain

[Chorus]

If you don't don't know, why'd you say so?

Would you mean this please if it happens?

If you don't know, why would you say so?

Won't you get your story straight?

If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?

'Cause I need this now more than I ever did

If you don't well, honey, then you don't

If you don't well, honey, then you don't

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 4]

So here we are now

A sip of wine a sip of water

Someday maybe

Maybe someday we'll be smarter

And I'm sorry that I'm such a mess

I drank all my money could get and

Took everything you let me have

And then I never loved you back

[Chorus]

If you don't don't know, why would you say so?

Would you mean the please if it happens?

If you don't know, why would you say so?

Won't you get your story straight?

If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?

'Cause I need this now, now need this, need this

If you don't well, honey, then you don't

If you don't know, honey, then you don't

And if you don't well, honey, then you don't

[Outro]

If you don't know, honey, honey, then you don't

[Verse 1]

The way you pull me in sometimes I almost feel

The picture in my head is just too real

It's gonna be how it is, there's some things you don't change

I'm done with telling myself that story

[Chorus]

How slowly we built the walls

In years they pile on

I will steal you back

Funny how the smallest lie

Might live a million times

I will steal you back

[Verse 2]

Here we go, here we go, we'll take on so much pain

To feel secure, not feel anything

I only pick a fight I know I'm sure to lose

So how can I not hold my hope for you

[Chorus]

How slowly we built the walls

In years they pile on

I will steal you back

Funny how the smallest lie

Might live a million times

I will steal you back (back, back)

[Chorus]

How slowly we built the walls

In years they pile on

I will steal you back

Funny how the smallest lie

Might live a million times

I will steal you back (back, back)

[Outro]

I will steal you back

I will steal you back

[Verse 1]

I've saved up enough courage

And I'll spend it now

But all for what, I ask myself

No, it doesn't feel that an answer matters

Oh, I thought I needed you to give me strength

The things I'd hoped you'd say

But as you stayed quiet, I'd just wonder

[Chorus]

Only one thing left I wished I knew

How did you have me and I only got you?

If it's all bad timing and there's no control

Not gonna do anything

You'll do everything I want from now on

[Verse 2]

When I'm with you, you change your voice, you change your face

Scared to say what's wrong

But we kept going on, yeah, kept going on like

Two adult children engaged in separate play

You can run down all those days to me

Go through the whole year, but why?

[Chorus]

Only one thing left I wished I knew

How did you have me and I only got you?

If it's all bad timing and there's no control

Not gonna do anything

You'll do everything I want from now on

[Verse 3]

No-one else would be as patient

Or at least be so forgiving

I'm not curious at all that your heart was

You can talk and I might listen

Hate the words, you're sure no present

I'm done living powered by this hurt

[Chorus]

Only one thing left I wished I knew

How did you have me and I only got you?

If it's all bad timing and there's no control

Not gonna do anything

You'll do everything I want from now on

There's no one in town I know

You gave us some place to go

I never said thank you for that

I thought I might get one more chance

[Verse 2]

What would you think of me now

So lucky so strong so proud?

I never said thank you for that

Now I'll never have a chance

[Chorus]

May angels lead you in

Hear you me my friends

On sleepless roads the sleepless go

May angels lead you in

[Verse 4]

And if you were with me tonight

I'd sing to you just one more time

A song for a heart so big

God wouldn't let it live

May angels lead you in

On sleepless roads the sleepless go

May angels lead you in

May angels lead you in

[Verse 1]

When there's no comfort in comfortable

Stolen chances and color coats

You can't invest with your full heart

You feel it crumble before you start

[Chorus]

The path you didn't take, it always ends

Perfect only cause you never did

The moments that we have will soon be gone

Either you're here or you're not

You're here or you're not

[Verse 2]

A floating fire's hard to hold

A fingers pass right through its glow

There's piece out there somewhere in time

But I'm as real as you will find

[Chorus]

The path you didn't take, it always ends

Perfect only cause you never did

The moment that we have is almost done

Either you're here or you're not

You're here or you're not

[Chorus]
The path you didn't take, it always ends
Perfect only cause you never did
The moment that we have is almost gone
Either you're here or you're not
You're here or you're not

"Straight outta Phoenix boys"

Stay up late and listen in

Trading insult for your time

It breaks my heart in half to see her jumping up and down screaming:

"Cash in honey, cash in now"

Lift your hands up slow

If only you could see yourself

Everything you are imitate and water down

If Just because you'll never have your politics with perfect means

Doesn't mean you talk the round and round

Forsdale's syringe is wearing so thin

Lift your hands up slow

If only you could see yourself

Everything we are imitate and water down

They'll never know your world no matter how they try

It's your world

Never know, they'll never know your world

(It's above us)

Let the water come
She's the only one I love
Let the fat man drop
She's the sweetest honey pot

[Chorus]
Will they see the sky again?
Who will sing their blues for them?

Let the factories rust
She's the only thing I trust
Let the virus spread
She's the silk lining in my bed

[Chorus]
Will they breathe our air again?
Who will sing their blues for them?

[Verse 3]
When you're feeling moot
You can have your conscience all you want
You can't say I do nothing yeah
I put it off

[Verse 4]
Where you gonna go if they come for you?
Will there be someone left to sing your blues?
Where you gonna run when they come for you?
Will there be someone to sing your blues?

== Recording Details ==
Reflecting on Gotta Be Somebody’s Blues [[Jim Adkins]] said it is "A song about apathy. Oppression is an abstraction and thought of as someone else’s problem… until it’s you that finds yourself defending your rights." <ref>{{Citation|url=http://bbs.jimmyeatworld.com/blog/index.php|title=Band Blog|last=Jimmy Eat World|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012192957/http://bbs.jimmyeatworld.com/blog/index.php?varDay=all|archive-date=2007-10-12|date=2007-10-09|website=Jimmy Eat World|publisher=Jimmy Eat World|access-date=2021-05-16|quote=10.09.07
vancouver, bc. day off. i was asked to write a blurb for journalists ( is "blurb" in the book?) about each of the songs. here is as concise as i can get about each tune without trampling on what you might make of it for yourself. we have never thought it was our job to explain songs. that is a rant for another time. but, after a few people asking me questions about the tunes and having really, really off base interpretations i thought it may be a good idea to at least point people in a closer direction. so, spoiler alert. i guess.

1. Big Casino-A loser anthem. Song about disgruntled burn-out dreams of success and what they would do with it.

2. Let It Happen-Always wanted to write an “I ain’t missing you”-- feigning strength as a defense song.

3.Always Be- about co-dependancy; vulnerability exploited.

4. Carry You-With distance and time, it becomes easier to invent qualities that may not have existed in a relationship. And to falsely believe those qualities could be included in a current version of the relationship.

5. Electable (Give It Up)-Frustration with the lack of intelligent political discourse in America. Why is attempting to polarize such an effective distraction from accountability?

6. Gotta Be Somebody’s Blues-A song about apathy. Oppression is an abstraction and thought of as someone else’s problem… until it’s you that finds yourself defending your rights.

7. Felling Lucky-A bar brawl song. Another loser anthem. yup.

8. Here It Goes-Know what is truly important to you. Don’t lose sight of that in the face of opportunity OR in the face of desperation.

9. Chase This Light-Becoming self-aware in the middle of a special experience. The “chase” is trying to find that feeling of discovery. of challange.

10. Firefight-Because it is new, everything is a big deal.

11. Dizzy-Unspoken awkwardness when two people are faced with their past.

Is tomorrow just a day like all the rest?

(How could you know just what you did?)

Like all the rest

(How could you know just what you did?)

So full of faith, yet full of doubt

[Chorus]

I ask again

I shall ask you this once again

He said

"I am but one small instrument." (Do you...)

Do you remember that?

[Verse 2]

Time and time again you said, "Don't be afraid."

(If you believe, then you can do it)

"Don't be afraid."

(If you believe, then you can do it)

The only voice I want to hear is yours

[Chorus]

Again

I shall ask you this once again

He said

"I am but one small instrument." (Do you...)

Do you remember that?

[Verse 3]

So here I am above palm trees so straight and tall

You are smaller, getting smaller

But I still see you

[Verse 1]

Hands will take their place

Far from intentions made

Disguised as patience, time gets wasted

Now is for the now, so get loud

[Chorus]

I'm, I'm destination addicted

I just gotta be some place else

Never good time, never feel the space to get it right

Get right

[Verse 2]

Hands will find their way

To eyes inches from my face

My heart gets beating, I drink freely

How to hold it down, hold it down?

[Chorus]

I'm, I'm destination addicted

I just gotta be some place else

Never good time, never feel the space to get it right

Get right

[Bridge]

Okay, okay, enough

Let me explain

Okay, okay, enough

Get on with it

Maybe if I stand up straight

One small thing I can change

Maybe if I, maybe If I...

I'm, I'm destination addicted

I just gotta be some place else

Never good time, never feel the space to get it right

Get right

Playing live is a big part of what we do, and we enjoy it. We spent maybe about a year and a half touring for Damage, trying to get to as many places as we could. We did a series of shows based around the anniversary of our album, Futures. Then we decided to take a year off from the band, completely, which was something we haven't done ever. We all fanned out and did different stuff. I decided to do a bunch of acoustic shows, me and a guitar. Our bass player, he makes gin and whiskey. He's legal; he's above the board. He has a distillery in Arizona. Zach [Lind] made a couple EPs with the project he did with his wife, called The Wretched Desert. Then we just got back into it.

We have this sort of shorthand communication as a band because we all know all our strengths. So we really had to check ourselves and ask, “Is this the best, most effective way to get this thing to happen, or is it just something that we’re comfortable with?” Maybe there’s a different way. So for this record, we purposely wanted to work with someone we’ve never worked with and make a record in a way that we haven’t made one in a while. All those things pushed us away from the zone of comfort, because really the zone of comfort is a zone of fear. You’re afraid to break out of this familiarity.

Jimmy Eat World tell TeamRock why a long break was necessary before working on their ninth album

Jimmy Eat World release Integrity Blues on October 21

Their ninth album, Integrity Blues, is one of the deepest yet in terms of subject matter. After taking a year out from band duties, during which time bassist Rick Burch discovered a passion for distilling, and drummer Zach Lind self-released music with his wife, the band realised their next album had to be a meaningful snapshot of the stage they were all at in life. Integrity Blues was born, marking the start of a new, grown-up chapter for Jimmy Eat World. We sat down with the band to find out more.

You’ve talked about this album being about accepting life and the changed it throws at you. What made you want to write something that philosophical?

Jim Adkins (vocals/guitar): “It’s just part of growing up, which is funny to say being as old as we are. The only thing consistent in life is that it’s going to change, and I think that’s something that gets shown to you over and over as time goes on. I guess [it’s about] finding your way through that – you can look at it as a challenge, or you can look at it as an opportunity. If you look at it as an opportunity you end up in a place where you can grow from it. That’s also been shown over and over again, and the rewards from that are hard to quantify. If you just look at things as an opportunity for growth, you’re always shown something that you didn’t expect. that ends up leading you to a better place.”

Jim: “It’s an all-encompassing feeling. I noticed myself getting stuck writing lyrics because I’d instantly see through what I was talking about, and I’d be like, ‘this is pointless’. I’d see through the futility of the struggle of the speaker of the song and would just get stuck at trying to move on. After a while I started thinking, ‘what’s really behind that?’ If the problem isn’t interesting, what’s the real solution behind it?”

Was it quite a collaborative writing effort?

Jim: “It was pretty collaborative, you never clock out of this gig, you’re always working on material. Things might not turn into a complete song right away but you never throw anything out, and over time that generates a big stack of ideas. Some things are closer to being full songs, some things just stay as scraps for a long time, and all of it ends up going through a band editing process and being fleshed out into that state where it’s a real song.”

Rick Burch (bass): “This time we brought in a producer really early on, when things were still at the snippet stage. Generally in the past when bringing in a producer, we’ve already developed a lot of ideas into a complete demo version of the song, but this time we started collaborating early on with Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Paramore, Tegan and Sara). It was great to have that outside perspective.”

Are there any particular songs that he really brought to life?

Jim: “Going away for a year before we started working on Integrity Blues and just taking total time off from the band helped us refresh our perspective on how we wanted to challenge ourselves. This is our ninth album, and really, why should it exist at all? We had to find that place where we could answer that for ourselves. You’re faced with a musical puzzle when you’re writing and recording, and sometimes you take the easy, familiar road to solve the problem and you don’t even realise you’re doing it, but there might be a more challenging interesting road that you need that outside perspective to bring in and further challenge you. So I guess having Justin in the process was really helpful across the board, we got the feedback we’d never have come up with on our own. A song like Pass The Baby, it always was the concept that it is, but I think that we might not have chosen to develop that to a complete state without him pushing us on.”

Are there any songs that went through a total rework from what they began life as?

Jim: “Integrity Blues, the title track, started off as an acoustic waltz kind of thing. I wouldn’t say we reworked it, but there was definitely a handful of different ways we could have gone with making it. It ended up being this unusual ensemble accompanying me just singing. I don’t think we have anything like that on our other records.”

Get Right has been called the ‘comeback track’. Do you see it that way?

Zach: “We didn’t really plan it out that way, but I think it was a good song to start off with, and coupled with Sure And Certain, those songs seemed to do a pretty good job of getting people ready for what was coming on the record. One of the main reasons why Get Right was one of the ones we released early was because the UK label really liked it and wanted a rock song to start things off over here.”

Now your tour dates have been announced, which songs are you looking forward to performing live?

Rick: “Get Right is like a familiar Jimmy Eat World song.”
Jim: “Now that we’re getting to the stage where we’re performing this stuff for people, we’re learning more about the songs. Get Right is fun to play, it’s just more of a rock song. I think the material’s kind of new for people – haven’t had a lot of time to digest it, and if you’re going to hear something you don’t know it’s easier to hear something that’s more upbeat.”

Jimmy Eat World release Integrity Blues on October 21 through RCA. The band begin their tour on October 1.}}</ref>

[Verse 1]

I don't care what you do

I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me

Don't want a thing from you

I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry

[Chorus 1]

I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me

I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry

[Verse 2]

I should have thought things through

I'm holding out, but not getting an answer

I want to do right by you

I'm finding out, cheating gets it faster

[Chorus 2]

I'm holding out, not getting an answer

I'm finding out that cheating gets it faster

I'm holding out, not getting an answer

I'm finding out, cheating gets it faster

[Verse 1]

I don't care what you do

I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me

Don't want a thing from you

I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry

[Verse 2]

I should have thought things through

Yeah I'm holding out, but not getting an answer

I want to do right by you

I'm finding out that cheating gets it faster

[Chorus 2]

I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me

I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry

I'm holding out, but not getting an answer

I'm finding out, cheating gets it faster

== Reception ==
"Get It Faster." Opening with a minute's worth of ominous shudders and thuds, the cut eventually settles into a ticking time-bomb groove, which quickly explodes into a chorus of such Promethean depth and grandeur that it would send even the most dedicated power chord progeny running for cover. Arguably, it's the highlight of the JEW canon--as well as the ''Bleed'' track whose construction seems to most bear the fingerprints of guitarist Tom Linton. As "Get It Faster" amply proves, Linton remains the band's ace card. His ability to suffuse the material with an army of plangent guitars, swooning lead breaks, supple sonic touches and a general effort serving as point man in Adkins' aural assaults is invaluable<ref>{{Citation|url=http://dallasobserver.com/issues/2001-08-02/hearthere.html|title=Jimmy Eat World Bleed American (DreamWorks)|last=Mehr|first=Bob|date=2001-08-02|website=Dallas Observer|publisher=Dallas Observer|access-date=2022-01-09|archive-date=2004-10-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041030010924/http://dallasobserver.com/issues/2001-08-02/hearthere.html.}}</ref>

Orangewood Sessions drummer
I'm listening to the Orangewood Sessions from 1992. So far it's raw and in-your-face. If I'm not mistaken, Zach joined the band just after this album was released around 1993. Does anybody have any information on who the original drummer is?

thomcrowe
Zach has always been the drummer. He and Jim were friends since they were kids. There was another bassist, Mitch Porter, who left the band to serve his mission for the LDS church. He was replaced by Rick.

emi2018
This is actually incorrect, Zach replaced their original drummer . The original lineup was Rick, Tom, and the first drummer, the original drummer plays on the Orangewood Sessions. I don’t like to post his name publicly as I’m not sure he would be comfortable with that. I was the original drummers high school sweetheart and have known Rick and Tom since 1992 and Jim and Zach since 93/94. Edited to add that Mitch took over for Rick and then Rick replaced Mitch permanently. I don’t recall why Rick didn’t play with them for awhile, allowing Mitch to join, but there were lots of bands going on at that time and roles changed quite a bit.

thomcrowe
I learned something today. Thanks u/emi2018

emi2018
You’re welcome! I’m always so interested in reading people’s comments on the early days of the band, I feel so lucky that I was there for it and always try to chime in if I think I can provide helpful info.

Grimus! Where did a band come up with that name? It seems that McDonald's Happy Meals are a popular thing, since the McDonald's character Grimus is who the an is named after. Members ofthe band are seniors Tom Linton, who sings and plays the guitar, Ricky Burch who plays the bass, and junior Mason Coo-per on the drums. Members of the band say they met through friends. They have been together for three years. Because they all have jobs, their practice times vary. "We try to squeeze in at least a couple of hours three times a week," said band members. Their band has gone by many different names in the past, like Corn Bread, Sideburn Circus, Sooplex, and Creepdive. But this name looks like it's going to last. When asked if they've thought about changing it again, they said, "Nope, it hasn't come to thought." Performing together for three years has helped them solve another problem also. Band members said, We used to get nervous before a show, but more experience made it easier." Grimus has played at many clubs around the valley, including Sun Club, Hollwood Alley and The Silver Dollar Club. Tom explainecl,"Bars are fun to play at, but they only allow you to go inside if you are of age. I'd rather be hanging around with people my own age at clubs." When playing at clubs they are sure to tell their friends to come and join the crowd. The group has also played at private parties. Grimus hopes to soon cut a tape and hopefully encourage people to buy it. "I can't wait until we make money," said Mason. "Amen," added Ricky.

[Verse 1]

I, I always believed in futures

I hope for better in November

I try the same losing lucky numbers

It could be a cold night for a lifetime

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey now, you can't keeping saying endlessly

My darling, how long until this affects me?

[Chorus]

Say hello to good times

(Say hello)

Trade up for the fast ride

(We close our eyes)

We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely

[Verse 2]

I, I always could count on futures

That things would look up, and they look up

Why is it so hard to find a balance between living decent and the cold and real?

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey now, what is it you think you see?

My darling, now's the time to disagree

[Chorus]

Say hello to good times

(Say hello)

Trade up for the fast ride

(We close our eyes)

We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely

[Bridge]

Hey now, the past is told by those who win

My darling, what matters is what hasn't been

Hey now, we're wide awake and we're thinking

My darling, believe your voice can mean something

[Chorus]

Say hello to good times

(Say hello)

Trade up for the fast ride

(We close our eyes)

We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely

We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely

[Intro]

The first star I see may not be a star

We can't do a thing but wait

So let's wait for one more

[Verse 1]

And 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

[Chorus]

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?

[Verse 2]

And the mindless comfort grows

When I'm alone with my great plans

And this is what she said gets her through it

"If I don't let myself be happy now, then when?

If not now, when?"

[Chorus]

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?

[Bridge]

I close my eyes and believe

Wherever you are, an angel for

[Chorus]

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?

Firefight is track 10 of 11 on [[Jimmy Eat World]]'s album [[Chase This Light]]. It is one of several songs by the band with a closed compound title.

== Appears On ==

* [[Chase This Light]]
* [[Always Be]] UK and European Editions as Firefight (Tempe Sessions)

== Lyrics ==
[Verse 1]

This is where our diligence has lead

The waves roll in to claim our patient steps

Can we become more than just ourselves?

And leave the sand, our want, our will, our doubt

[Chorus]

It's firefight, I won't run

They're spitting spite all through my blood

For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide

Except you and me, there's no one else alive

[Verse 2]

This is now the moment after next

Are these still the eyes of a temptress?

Why open the door if you won't go?

Don't ask twice if you don't wanna know

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Is there an answer?

If it's an honest one, honestly worth its question

There's no question

The city as my witness (The city as my witness)

I am who I wanna be, but you could be anything (you could be anything)

Just be anything here with me

Love is quartz and breath the second hand

If you let go then that's where time will stand

[Chorus][x2]

Happy Valentines Day everyone! We hope the love is strong for everyone out there. Things are heating up a little bit here in AZ for the band. We have about 7 demos that are in rough form but sounding really great. We are still a little ways away from full on recording the album versions of these songs, but we're getting closer everyday. Some song titles so far are "Carry You", "Chase This Light", "Stop", "Beautiful Is", "Dizzy", and "Gotta Be Somebody's Blues".

We have reserved the services of the very talented engineer Chris Testa to turn the knobs for us while we record the album at our studio in Tempe. We are shooting to record excusively in our own studio so we'll see how that goes.

That's about it for now. We'll check in again soon to clue you all in on the progress. Peace

Update
Hey everyone. We hope everyone had a great holiday season and a safe new years. We sure did. We are currenly at home in the Phoenix area working on new songs and getting ready to make what will be our 6th full length album. Everything is going very well and the new stuff appears to be pretty rocking. Thanks to everyone who bought the new ep. we're really happy that those songs found a proper home together.

that's it for now. we'll check back in soon and let you know how the process is going.

Today is our last day of recording until the 4th of September. We have to interupt our studio time for some live rock and roll action. Saturday we play in Del Mar, CA and then Tuesday we take off for Austria and Switzerland. It will be nice to get out of this brutal AZ summer as well.

It will be nice to play some shows again but we're also anxious to get back and continue tracking. The studio updates will continue

vancouver, bc. day off. i was asked to write a blurb for journalists ( is "blurb" in the book?) about each of the songs. here is as concise as i can get about each tune without trampling on what you might make of it for yourself. we have never thought it was our job to explain songs. that is a rant for another time. but, after a few people asking me questions about the tunes and having really, really off base interpretations i thought it may be a good idea to at least point people in a closer direction. so, spoiler alert. i guess.

1. Big Casino-A loser anthem. Song about disgruntled burn-out dreams of success and what they would do with it.

2. Let It Happen-Always wanted to write an “I ain’t missing you”-- feigning strength as a defense song.

3.Always Be- about co-dependancy; vulnerability exploited.

4. Carry You-With distance and time, it becomes easier to invent qualities that may not have existed in a relationship. And to falsely believe those qualities could be included in a current version of the relationship.

5. Electable (Give It Up)-Frustration with the lack of intelligent political discourse in America. Why is attempting to polarize such an effective distraction from accountability?

6. Gotta Be Somebody’s Blues-A song about apathy. Oppression is an abstraction and thought of as someone else’s problem… until it’s you that finds yourself defending your rights.

7. Felling Lucky-A bar brawl song. Another loser anthem. yup.

8. Here It Goes-Know what is truly important to you. Don’t lose sight of that in the face of opportunity OR in the face of desperation.

9. Chase This Light-Becoming self-aware in the middle of a special experience. The “chase” is trying to find that feeling of discovery. of challange.

10. Firefight-Because it is new, everything is a big deal.

11. Dizzy-Unspoken awkwardness when two people are faced with their past.

[Verse 1]

There's a chance, one of us will give in soon

I could ask, but what's an answer gonna prove?

I try to get mad, but the fever drops

My heart can't break 'cause the beating stops

Yeah, suck that lucky feeling right outta me

[Verse 2]

Wanna laugh? Take a look around the room

It's a dance, tired steps in brand new shoes

I can only take a guess what the morning brings

If it feels too good, then it probably is

Yeah, suck that lucky feeling right outta me

[Verse 3]

I follow your sign, where it leads I go

But you turned your back so easily

It tells me everything I need, yeah

Waiting for the line to move a foot, yeah

Wasting my life on nothing good

Suck that lucky feeling right outta me

[Verse 4]

I should act; tie it down or cut you loose

It's a trap, any direction I move

When I try to sing along, the needle skips

I huff and then I puff but my house is bricks, yeah

Suck that lucky feeling right outta me

Yeah you sucked that lucky feeling right outta me

Yeah you sucked that lucky feeling right outta me, yeah

== Recording Details ==
Reflecting on Feeling Lucky [[Jim Adkins]] said the song is "A bar brawl song. Another loser anthem. yup." <ref>{{Citation|url=http://bbs.jimmyeatworld.com/blog/index.php|title=Band Blog|last=Jimmy Eat World|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012192957/http://bbs.jimmyeatworld.com/blog/index.php?varDay=all|archive-date=2007-10-12|date=2007-10-09|website=Jimmy Eat World|publisher=Jimmy Eat World|access-date=2021-05-16|quote=10.09.07
vancouver, bc. day off. i was asked to write a blurb for journalists ( is "blurb" in the book?) about each of the songs. here is as concise as i can get about each tune without trampling on what you might make of it for yourself. we have never thought it was our job to explain songs. that is a rant for another time. but, after a few people asking me questions about the tunes and having really, really off base interpretations i thought it may be a good idea to at least point people in a closer direction. so, spoiler alert. i guess.

1. Big Casino-A loser anthem. Song about disgruntled burn-out dreams of success and what they would do with it.

2. Let It Happen-Always wanted to write an “I ain’t missing you”-- feigning strength as a defense song.

3.Always Be- about co-dependancy; vulnerability exploited.

4. Carry You-With distance and time, it becomes easier to invent qualities that may not have existed in a relationship. And to falsely believe those qualities could be included in a current version of the relationship.

5. Electable (Give It Up)-Frustration with the lack of intelligent political discourse in America. Why is attempting to polarize such an effective distraction from accountability?

6. Gotta Be Somebody’s Blues-A song about apathy. Oppression is an abstraction and thought of as someone else’s problem… until it’s you that finds yourself defending your rights.

7. Felling Lucky-A bar brawl song. Another loser anthem. yup.

8. Here It Goes-Know what is truly important to you. Don’t lose sight of that in the face of opportunity OR in the face of desperation.

Follow you around until it's time, time to leave

Swimming into the idea of your scene

Between our things

Won't have to see

I watched you put on a dress I'd never seen

Something that begged for East Atlantic breeze

There all the while, hated quietly

There, just to see a smile... anything

Won't have to see

You did what you did

From Bullz eye Interview http://www.bullz-eye.com/music/interviews/2010/jim_adkins.htm

"BE: “Evidence” has some striking imagery in it. Can you tell us the back story behind that song?

JA: It’s one of those things where you can take what you want from it. But that was written from the perspective of someone who is living with a person that they just broke up with. It’s such an awkward situation for both parties. On one hand, you have this shared experience, but it feels so strange to be around each other now. You walk around the rooms and see things staring at you that remind you of the relationship."

From Get Alternative Article https://www.getalternative.com/it-holds-up-jimmy-eat-worlds-invented-turns-10/

In “Evidence,” a former couple navigates their shared living space.

Episode IV leads us away from here

Don't expect to find what you're looking to

I can see the light leading away from you

Let's disappear

We'll take a trip of no return to outer space

And swim in pools which keep us warm

Cleaned off the sand from off your feet

We'll dance off time to the songs we've never liked

And sing off-key, thinking it sounds all right

And you know, I almost lost my will to live

(We're sure) you tell time in your...

And sing off-key, thinking it sounds all right

Jimmy Eat World released their self-titled debut studio album in 1994, through local label [[Wooden Blue Records]]. <ref>{{Citation|title=Jimmy Eat World I.S.Y. 004|last=Jimmy Eat World|publisher=Wooden Blue Records|date=1994|website=|url=|access-date=2021-03-07}}</ref> As the members left high school, [[Jim Adkins]] was part of a production company with [[Joel Leibow]], co-founder of Wooden Blue. The production company listed itself in Maximumrocknroll's guide Book Your Own Fuckin' Life, which assisted bands, promoters, and venues to book shows across the United States. After being contacted by [[Christie Front Drive]] for a show, Leibow asked the band to do a split single with Jimmy Eat World. <ref name=":1">{{Citation|title=The Singles CDHOLE049|last=Jimmy Eat World|publisher=Golf Records|date=2001|access-date=2021-03-07}}</ref> Various major labels contacted the band and asked for a tape of their music, [[Zach Lind]] shared "We'd been called by a couple of majors, but it was nothing serious at all.

Jimmy Eat World had signed with Capitol Records in mid-1995, they signed a development deal with the label that included one album, which became [[Static Prevails]], with the possibility for six more. <ref name=":3">{{Citation|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/jimmy-eat-world-mn0000852688/biography|title=Jimmy Eat World {{!}} Biography & History|last=Leahey|first=Andrew|website=AllMusic|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=2021-02-23}}</ref> <ref name=":4">{{Citation|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190223034646/http://www.undertheradarmag.com/news/jimmy_eat_world_reflecting_on_the_20th_anniversary_of_clarity/|title=Jimmy Eat World – Reflecting on the 20th Anniversary of 'Clarity'|last=King|first=Ian|date=2019-02-22|website=Under the Radar|publisher=Under the Radar|access-date=2021-02-23}}</ref> Around this time, bassist [[Mitch Porter]] became a Mormon missionary, and left the band. <ref name=":0" /> [[Carrier]] bassist [[Rick Burch]], who guitarist [[Tom Linton]] had been best friends with since the seventh grade, replaced Porter. <ref name=":3" /> When Jimmy Eat World was searching for an engineer to record what would become [[Static Prevails]] they came across former [[Drive Like Jehu]] drummer [[Mark Trombino]]. The band recorded two songs with him at [[Big Fish]] in Encinitas, California, [[Opener]] and [[77 Satellites]], both of which were released through record label [[An Industry for Outer Space]] on 7" vinyl.<ref name=":1" /> The recording process was hampered by recurring clashes with Capitol executives who insisted the band rework some of their songs and write new ones. <ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.dallasobserver.com/music/clarity-prevails-6398007|last=Crain|first=Zac|date=1999-03-04|title=Clarity prevails|publisher=Dallas Observer|website=Dallas Observer|access-date=2021-03-07}}</ref>The label wanted the band to write new songs in a rehearsal space in Los Angeles with the production team of [[Tom Rothrock]] and [[Rob Schnapf]]. Eventually a compromise was reached allowing for the band to work with their choice of producers, [[Mark Trombino]] and [[Wes Kidd]] of labelmates [[Triple Fast Action]] for the bulk of the album but having Rothrock and Schnapf mix the two songs the label wanted to release ([[Rockstar]] and [[Seventeen]]); the band were also given a producer credit. Capitol included the two songs on promotional samplers that were sent to programming directors at radio stations; the label said it was part of a development process it had for the band. The Dallas Observer said the sampler and a lack of promotion were seen as the label cutting its losses. <ref name=":0" /> <ref name=":6">{{Citation|url=|title=Static Prevails CDP 7243 5 39615 0 3|last=Jimmy Eat World|publisher=Capitol Records|date=1996|access-date=2021-03-07}}</ref>

The band did pre-production at [[Mind's Eye Digital]] in Mesa, Arizona, with engineer [[Larry Elyea]]. Static Prevails was recorded in 1995 at [[Sound City]] in Los Angeles, and at [[Big Fish]] in Encinitas, California. <ref name=":6" /> [[Billy Bowers]] and [[Jeff Sheehan]] served as assistant engineers at Sound City. <ref name=":6" /> When Jimmy Eat World recorded [[Seventeen]], it initially featured the chorus line "You're only seventeen"; however, when they realized it sounded too similar to a song by Winger, at which point [[Tom Linton]] changed the lyrics, and the band re-recorded it.<ref>{{Citation|url=http://www.jimmyeatworld.com/faq.html|last=Jimmy Eat World|website=Jimmy Eat World|title=f.a.q.|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19991129023344/http://www.jimmyeatworld.net/faq.html|archive-date=1999-11-29|access-date=2021-03-07|date=|quote=Frequently Asked Questions. O.K. Over the past year that this website has been up, there have been many questions that are coming up over, and over, and over, and over. So we decided to make this as easy as possible for everyone and list these troubling questions and them give them an answer. here is the truth.

1. How did you get your name?
This is the story. Tom has many brother and sisters and sometimes they get in scuffles. So, one day two of Tom's younger brothers were feuding. They were Ed and Jimmy, Ed being the youngest of the two. So like always, the older brother is getting the better of the younger one and the insults started flying. Well, Jimmy finally just locked his little brother out of the room that they shared and Ed was getting really flustered. So Ed did what any 8 year old would do, he broke out the crayons and drew a picture of his chubby, older brother Jimmy shoving what appeared to be the earth into his gapping mouth. The caption at the bottom read "jimmy eat world". Ed placed the masterpeice on the fridge in the kitchen for all to see. We thought that was really funny and decided to name our band after the caption.

2. Where can I get the lyrics for Clarity?
In the booklet that comes with the cd.

3. Where can I get tabs for Clarity, Static, etc.?
We don't know. You'll just have to listen really hard.

4. Where can I get the first cd? I have been looking all over!
Our first cd, the self titiled full length, is out of print and is not really available anywere. You can see if it is available on ebay or in a used bin somewhere. Only 2,000 copies were pressed so it will be tough.

5. What is that songs that goes "WHOAA, WHOAA, WHOAA!!!"?
That song is titled "Sweetness". It is not out on anything at the moment but it will be coming out sometime, somehow.

6. Is Tom dating Kate Moss?
Well, that is none of your buisiness.

7. Why are the lyrics of the song "Seventeen" different in the movie "Never Been Kissed"?
O.K. This is the deal. When we first recorded that song for Static Prevails, the lyrics were like they are in the movie with Tom singing "Your Only Seventeen!" in the chorus. We thought that sounded a little too much like the Winger song, so we made Tom change the lyrics. So, he went back in the studio and recorded what you now hear on Static. Well, Capitol remembered that we had a version of the song with the "Seventeen" lyric in it and thought it would fit really well in the movie, and it turned out that it did fit really well. So they said that if we let them use that version, we could meet Drew Berrymore, so we said, "Hell Yeah!" We sold out for Drew!

8. Is Rick sponsored by B.C. Rich?
Yes.

9. Why don't you have mp3s on this site?
Because i don't know how to put it up for you all to download. sorry. I am sure if you looked around you can pirate just about anything and we can't stop you so go ahead. haha. Down with the System!!!!!!}}</ref> Trombino, who also acted as engineer, mixed all of the tracks, apart from [[Rockstar]] and [[Seventeen]], in [[Studio C]] at Capitol Studios.

The sound of Static Prevails and the issues with Capitol was, in part, due to a shift away from the pop-punk sound in the vein of NOFX, Rocket from the Crypt, and J Church found in their earlier work, and into post-hardcore and emo. <ref name=":7">{{Citation|url=https://www.moderndrummer.com/2004/05/zach-lind/|title=Zach Lind of Jimmy Eat World|date=2004-05|website=Modern Drummer}}</ref> <ref>{{Citation|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yyoEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA83&lpg=PA83&dq=Post-hardcore:+Keiper&source=bl&ots=rpb2kGLhrx&sig=ACfU3U2FoaClL4HMVrEf04_DjDqRTTwhfA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiIsLGpoIHvAhWbWM0KHYJUCW4Q6AEwCnoECBcQAw#v=onepage&q=Keiper&f=false|title=The Scene Is Now: Japancore: How Japan Is Helping Emo Get Its Groove Back|publisher=CMJ New Music Monthly|date=2001-04|last=Keiper|first=Nicole|access-date=2021-02-23}}</ref> <ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/music-reviews/2002/0910/448776-jimmyeatworldalbums/|title=Jimmy Eat World - Clarity & Static Prevails|last=Guerin|first=Harry|date=2002-09-10|publisher=RTÉ|website=RTÉ|access-date=2021-02-23}}</ref> The band had picked up a penchant for slower, more melodic bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Tortoise, and Seam, and their newfound influences showed on the album. <ref name=":2" /> Drummer Zach Lind attributed this change in style to listening to Christie Front Drive, who they found to be "really melodic but still very powerful". <ref name=":7" /> Lind played in a more aggressive and noisier style of rock-oriented drumming, with elements of his punk rock roots. <ref name=":7" /> The album also marked a fairly even split on lead vocals almost evenly between Linton and Adkins. <ref>{{Citation|url=https://consequenceofsound.net/2013/06/dissected-jimmy-eat-world-with-jim-adkins/3/|last=Caffrey, Dan; Kaye, Ben; Gerber, Justin|title=Dissected: Jimmy Eat World (with Jim Adkins)|date=2013-06-14|first=Consequence of Sound|publisher=Consequence of Sound|access-date=2021-03-07}}</ref> Ted Simon compared Adkins' vocals to those of the Replacements' frontman Paul Westerberg. <ref name=":0" /> In addition to playing the drums, Lind played the accordion and the concertina.

== Lyrics ==
[Verse 1]

I came up like everyone, they taught us all the same

I said what they told me to say, and then from that they grade

Give up repeating the facts, fact could be arranged

Here I am, I'll take my chance

Now play the record straight

[Chorus]

Now give it up!

Oh oh oh...

Give it up!

Oh oh oh...

[Verse 2]

Talking points from talking heads with automated smiles

There's no higher ground to stand than bottom of the pile

Give up acting unaware, you can't ignore the crime

The enemy is you as well, the enemy is I

[Chorus][x2]

[Bridge]

Not in my name, you don't speak for me

I am my voice, and I want to scream

You want my air, you want my life

I act as one, but I'm not alone

[Chorus][x3]
==Recording Details==
Reflecting on Electable (Give It Up) [[Jim Adkins]] said the song is about "Frustration with the lack of intelligent political discourse in America. Why is attempting to polarize such an effective distraction from accountability?" <ref>{{Citation|url=http://bbs.jimmyeatworld.com/blog/index.php|title=Band Blog|last=Jimmy Eat World|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012192957/http://bbs.jimmyeatworld.com/blog/index.php?varDay=all|archive-date=2007-10-12|date=2007-10-09|website=Jimmy Eat World|publisher=Jimmy Eat World|access-date=2021-05-16|quote=10.09.07
vancouver, bc. day off. i was asked to write a blurb for journalists ( is "blurb" in the book?) about each of the songs. here is as concise as i can get about each tune without trampling on what you might make of it for yourself. we have never thought it was our job to explain songs. that is a rant for another time. but, after a few people asking me questions about the tunes and having really, really off base interpretations i thought it may be a good idea to at least point people in a closer direction. so, spoiler alert. i guess.

1. Big Casino-A loser anthem. Song about disgruntled burn-out dreams of success and what they would do with it.

2. Let It Happen-Always wanted to write an “I ain’t missing you”-- feigning strength as a defense song.

3.Always Be- about co-dependancy; vulnerability exploited.

4. Carry You-With distance and time, it becomes easier to invent qualities that may not have existed in a relationship. And to falsely believe those qualities could be included in a current version of the relationship.

5. Electable (Give It Up)-Frustration with the lack of intelligent political discourse in America. Why is attempting to polarize such an effective distraction from accountability?

6. Gotta Be Somebody’s Blues-A song about apathy. Oppression is an abstraction and thought of as someone else’s problem… until it’s you that finds yourself defending your rights.

7. Felling Lucky-A bar brawl song. Another loser anthem. yup.

8. Here It Goes-Know what is truly important to you. Don’t lose sight of that in the face of opportunity OR in the face of desperation.

9. Chase This Light-Becoming self-aware in the middle of a special experience. The “chase” is trying to find that feeling of discovery. of challange.

10. Firefight-Because it is new, everything is a big deal.

11. Dizzy-Unspoken awkwardness when two people are faced with their past.

== Lyrics ==
[Verse 1]

You close your eyes and kiss your hand then you blow it

But it isn't meant for me, and I notice

If the choice was ours alone

Then why'd we both choose letting go?

Does it end like this?

[Verse 2]

Time never had a chance to heal your heart

Just a number always counting down to a new start

If you always knew the truth

Then the world would spin around you

Are you dizzy yet?

[Chorus]

Respectfully, so honestly I'm calling out

Do you hear the conversation we talk about?

Back away to the safety of a quiet house

If there's half a chance in this moment

When your eyes meet mine, we show it off

[Verse 3]

All talk and not a lot to think, we were living dreams

And shame never crept close to our naked feet

If there's something left to lose

Then don't let me wear out my shoes

I'm still walking

[Verse 4]

I tried, but it rang and rang, I called all night

On a payphone, remember those from another life?

If everything I meant to you

You can lick and seal then fold in two

Then I've been so blind

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]

Oh, oh take it all back, take the first, the last and only

Oh, oh take it all back, take it all back

Everything you showed me

Oh, oh this must be how it feels when the feeling goes

[Verse 6]

I told you as I hovered, I never felt this way

You said I have the shot that stops my clock

Baby it's OK

You said you'd never have regrets

Jesus, is there someone yet

Who got their wish; did you get yours, babe?

[Chorus]

Happy Valentines Day everyone! We hope the love is strong for everyone out there. Things are heating up a little bit here in AZ for the band. We have about 7 demos that are in rough form but sounding really great. We are still a little ways away from full on recording the album versions of these songs, but we're getting closer everyday. Some song titles so far are "Carry You", "Chase This Light", "Stop", "Beautiful Is", "Dizzy", and "Gotta Be Somebody's Blues".

We have reserved the services of the very talented engineer Chris Testa to turn the knobs for us while we record the album at our studio in Tempe. We are shooting to record excusively in our own studio so we'll see how that goes.

That's about it for now. We'll check in again soon to clue you all in on the progress. Peace

Update
Hey everyone. We hope everyone had a great holiday season and a safe new years. We sure did. We are currenly at home in the Phoenix area working on new songs and getting ready to make what will be our 6th full length album. Everything is going very well and the new stuff appears to be pretty rocking. Thanks to everyone who bought the new ep. we're really happy that those songs found a proper home together.

that's it for now. we'll check back in soon and let you know how the process is going.

It will be nice to play some shows again but we're also anxious to get back and continue tracking. The studio updates will continue

==Lyrics==
There's a simple escape, it covers any mistake,

Always have a good distraction.

If you can keep the debate, he said she said rage,

They'll forget whatever happened.

We divide, we take aside, spinning on forever,

Run, slow down, run, we're all waiting,

Waiting, in the same line.

Use your head to prepare, a real fight's not declared,

A symbol doesn't cause your problem.

Take a walk see who cares, it only works if you're scared,

Try the fear and you have lost.

Pick someone, anyone, no one ever questions.

Run, slow down, run, we're all waiting,

Waiting, in the same line.

Run, slow down, run, we're all waiting,

Waiting, in the same line.

Run, slow down, run, we're all waiting,

Waiting, in the same line.

== Lyrics ==
[Verse 1]

I've spent my last night

Strung up and pulled tight

Holding out, sleeping proud

An answer comes without a "please"

Do what you want

[Chorus]

Wonder why I'm so caught off guard when we kiss

I'd 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

[Verse 2]

Hushed with a finger

Don't say you'll never when you might

Oh, just another time

This poison comes instruction free

Do what you want, but I'm drinking

[Chorus]

I wonder why I'm so caught off guard when we kiss

I'd 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

[Bridge]

Lie, lie better next time

Stay on my side tonight, oh

Lie, lie better next time

Stay on my side tonight, oh

Lie, lie better next time

Stay on my side tonight, oh

Lie, lie better next time

Stay on my side tonight, oh

Lie, lie better next time

Stay on my side tonight, oh

Lie, lie better next time

Stay on my side tonight, oh

Lie, lie better next time

Stay on my side tonight, oh

Lie, lie better next time

Stay on my side tonight, oh

[Chorus]

I wonder why I'm so caught off guard when we kiss

I'd 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

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

Pay attention

Stop paying for regret

Fossil resources all used up

Make the best use of your time

You could be on to something

Too skeptic, too tired to care

When they all seem to know at once

Sweet muse left me all alone

There's only my weight left

Euthanasia could be the greatest gift

It's all the same

So let me know

It's never changed

So let it go

(Wait outside your house to come back out)

It's all the same

So let it go

It's just what you...

Save the long car ride home

Don't leave your house today

Nothing lost but still nothing gained

No possibilities

All wasted, world gone under

Life means I hear my ears ring one more day

And you will see it through at once

Sweet muse, she won't be around today

Things that I could not say

Are we through yet?

Are you gone yet?

You're on and off

Phase in, phase out

Cross your heart

Crash, burn and fall

Under cushions hide the change

So no one knows

Just be careful who you tell

I really want to care when you say, "I'll change that."

I just don't feel a thing when you say, "We'll get there, someday."

== Lyrics ==
[Verse 1]

When I find myself awake

I'll put my thoughts down on the page

Half-asleep, I'll make a list

Then read back all my greatest hits

Should meditate, should work out more

Should read until my brain gets sore

Meet someone, go far away

Try being socially less strange

[Chorus]

That's how a diamond grows, yeah

Give yourself the right chance over time

Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker, yeah

[Verse 2]

I cut at least half of my friends

But no one noticed or mentioned

I thought at last I'd breathe easy

But then I thought a lot of things

Hey, new year, hey, new you

You left so much low-hanging fruit

You're in the ring for the title fight

With only montage training time

[Chorus]

That's how a diamond grows, yeah

Give yourself the right chance over time

Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker, yeah

That's how a diamond grows, yeah

Reach as far as you can, then hold tight

Don't believe them if they try to tell you something different, yeah

[Bridge]

They say a diamond grows with time

I believe it 'cause I've seen it with my eyes

Well, there's a guaranteed parade of broken promises

Did you expect some kind of miracle?

You do what you can do, that's all, all, all

[Chorus]

That's how a diamond grows, yeah

Give yourself the right chance over time

Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker, yeah

That's how a diamond grows with time

Don't believe them if they try to tell you something different

[Verse 1]

Well, I know I'm dreaming

But it feels too good to stop

The picture in my head is always moving

We're alone at sunset

There's snowfall in air

It's only special once 'cause there's an ending

[Pre-Chorus]

And we realize we're in a future memory

[Chorus]

I can only use what I learn from you

And the rest I quietly accept and burn through

I can only be so much potentially

From the rest, I patiently request delivery

[Verse 2]

Don't worry where we end up

This ending up's not real

The life we build we never stop creating

So we move to a cliffside

A shoreline nowhere

A freezing drive ahead with every crossing

[Pre-Chorus]

And the things you hope someday will come keep waiting

[Chorus]

I can only use what I learn from you

And the rest I quietly accept and burn through

I can only be so much potentially

From the rest, I patiently request delivery

[Bridge]

Sold on a lie

A lie old as time

You'll search until you die

Only partially the truth

Someone's out there for you

But not everyone's ready to be found

No, you might not be ready to be found

[Chorus]

I can only use what I learned from you

And the rest I quietly accept and burn through

I can only be so much potentially

From the rest, I patiently request delivery

I can only use what I learn from you

And the rest I quietly accept and burn through

I can only be so much potentially

From the rest, I patiently request delivery

Craig Aaronson was the executive producer and A&R (artists and repertoire) executive for [[Jimmy Eat World]] at [[Capitol Records]]. He was known for signing and developing major rock and alternative acts in the 1990s and early 2000s. He played a key role in developing Jimmy Eat World especially during their pivotal albums like [[Clarity]]. As an A&R at Warner Bros. Records, Aaronson was instrumental in shaping the alternative and emo rock scene, signing bands that became genre-defining including [[My Chemical Romance]], [[Avenged Sevenfold]], [[The Used]], and [[Taking Back Sunday]].

He was married to Britt Aimee Taxin. He passed away in 2014 after a battle with brain cancer.

drummer for the World's Cutest Killers

<ref>https://www.instagram.com/jimmyeatworld/p/BuPBRoWHYGn/

When we made Clarity over 20 years ago, our head space as a band was a mixture of defeat and mischief. After the total commercial failure of Static Prevails we knew that we were lucky to be given another chance by Capitol Records at making another album but we also knew that it would very likely be our last. It was like a last meal on death row. We loaded up our plate with string sections, timpanis, mallet instruments, and drum machines.

We were so lucky to have that chance to make Clarity and we are as surprised as anyone that it’s an album that means something to others 20 years later.</ref>

Far from intentions made

Disguised as patience, time gets wasted

Now is for the now, so get loud

[Chorus]

I'm, I'm destination addicted

I just gotta be some place else

Never good time, never feel the space to get it right

Get right

[Verse 2]

Hands will find their way

To eyes inches from my face

My heart gets beating, I drink freely

How to hold it down, hold it down?

[Chorus]

I'm, I'm destination addicted

I just gotta be some place else

Never good time, never feel the space to get it right

Get right

[Bridge]

Okay, okay, enough

Let me explain

Okay, okay, enough

Get on with it

Maybe if I stand up straight

One small thing I can change

Maybe if I, maybe If I...

[Chorus]

I'm, I'm destination addicted

I just gotta be some place else

Never good time, never feel the space to get it right

Get right

Playing live is a big part of what we do, and we enjoy it. We spent maybe about a year and a half touring for Damage, trying to get to as many places as we could. We did a series of shows based around the anniversary of our album, Futures. Then we decided to take a year off from the band, completely, which was something we haven't done ever. We all fanned out and did different stuff. I decided to do a bunch of acoustic shows, me and a guitar. Our bass player, he makes gin and whiskey. He's legal; he's above the board. He has a distillery in Arizona. Zach [Lind] made a couple EPs with the project he did with his wife, called The Wretched Desert. Then we just got back into it.

If we run into a musical problem, say you want a certain part of a song to feel a certain way, without even talking about it we can just execute it because we’re a team and we know our strengths and we’ve done it before. We have this sort of shorthand communication as a band because we all know all our strengths. So we really had to check ourselves and ask, “Is this the best, most effective way to get this thing to happen, or is it just something that we’re comfortable with?” Maybe there’s a different way. So for this record, we purposely wanted to work with someone we’ve never worked with and make a record in a way that we haven’t made one in a while. All those things pushed us away from the zone of comfort, because really the zone of comfort is a zone of fear. You’re afraid to break out of this familiarity. There’s nothing good about feeling comfortable.}}</ref>.

Jimmy Eat World tell TeamRock why a long break was necessary before working on their ninth album

Jimmy Eat World release Integrity Blues on October 21

Their ninth album, Integrity Blues, is one of the deepest yet in terms of subject matter. After taking a year out from band duties, during which time bassist Rick Burch discovered a passion for distilling, and drummer Zach Lind self-released music with his wife, the band realised their next album had to be a meaningful snapshot of the stage they were all at in life. Integrity Blues was born, marking the start of a new, grown-up chapter for Jimmy Eat World. We sat down with the band to find out more.

You’ve talked about this album being about accepting life and the changed it throws at you. What made you want to write something that philosophical?

Jim Adkins (vocals/guitar): “It’s just part of growing up, which is funny to say being as old as we are. The only thing consistent in life is that it’s going to change, and I think that’s something that gets shown to you over and over as time goes on. I guess [it’s about] finding your way through that – you can look at it as a challenge, or you can look at it as an opportunity. If you look at it as an opportunity you end up in a place where you can grow from it. That’s also been shown over and over again, and the rewards from that are hard to quantify. If you just look at things as an opportunity for growth, you’re always shown something that you didn’t expect. that ends up leading you to a better place.”

Jim: “It’s an all-encompassing feeling. I noticed myself getting stuck writing lyrics because I’d instantly see through what I was talking about, and I’d be like, ‘this is pointless’. I’d see through the futility of the struggle of the speaker of the song and would just get stuck at trying to move on. After a while I started thinking, ‘what’s really behind that?’ If the problem isn’t interesting, what’s the real solution behind it?”

Was it quite a collaborative writing effort?

Jim: “It was pretty collaborative, you never clock out of this gig, you’re always working on material. Things might not turn into a complete song right away but you never throw anything out, and over time that generates a big stack of ideas. Some things are closer to being full songs, some things just stay as scraps for a long time, and all of it ends up going through a band editing process and being fleshed out into that state where it’s a real song.”

Rick Burch (bass): “This time we brought in a producer really early on, when things were still at the snippet stage. Generally in the past when bringing in a producer, we’ve already developed a lot of ideas into a complete demo version of the song, but this time we started collaborating early on with Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Paramore, Tegan and Sara). It was great to have that outside perspective.”

Are there any particular songs that he really brought to life?

Jim: “Going away for a year before we started working on Integrity Blues and just taking total time off from the band helped us refresh our perspective on how we wanted to challenge ourselves. This is our ninth album, and really, why should it exist at all? We had to find that place where we could answer that for ourselves. You’re faced with a musical puzzle when you’re writing and recording, and sometimes you take the easy, familiar road to solve the problem and you don’t even realise you’re doing it, but there might be a more challenging interesting road that you need that outside perspective to bring in and further challenge you. So I guess having Justin in the process was really helpful across the board, we got the feedback we’d never have come up with on our own. A song like Pass The Baby, it always was the concept that it is, but I think that we might not have chosen to develop that to a complete state without him pushing us on.”

Are there any songs that went through a total rework from what they began life as?

Jim: “Integrity Blues, the title track, started off as an acoustic waltz kind of thing. I wouldn’t say we reworked it, but there was definitely a handful of different ways we could have gone with making it. It ended up being this unusual ensemble accompanying me just singing. I don’t think we have anything like that on our other records.”

Get Right has been called the ‘comeback track’. Do you see it that way?

Zach: “We didn’t really plan it out that way, but I think it was a good song to start off with, and coupled with Sure And Certain, those songs seemed to do a pretty good job of getting people ready for what was coming on the record. One of the main reasons why Get Right was one of the ones we released early was because the UK label really liked it and wanted a rock song to start things off over here.”

Now your tour dates have been announced, which songs are you looking forward to performing live?

Rick: “Get Right is like a familiar Jimmy Eat World song.”
Jim: “Now that we’re getting to the stage where we’re performing this stuff for people, we’re learning more about the songs. Get Right is fun to play, it’s just more of a rock song. I think the material’s kind of new for people – haven’t had a lot of time to digest it, and if you’re going to hear something you don’t know it’s easier to hear something that’s more upbeat.”

Jimmy Eat World release Integrity Blues on October 21 through RCA. The band begin their tour on October 1.}}</ref>

[Verse 1]

I want someone who lives up to this grandeur in my head

And you don’t do much to sell me I’d be best with you instead

I hate the way I feel, but I don’t think I can change

I just breathe you each day

[Chorus]

Are we only damaging the little we have left?

Both of us swimming in the same polluted mess

Are we too damaged now to possibly connect?

To honestly connect?

[Verse 2]

A lot of time’s been wasted putting off doing the work

If we both step up to own it then I’ll take what’s coming first

Of everything you say, it’s the truth that really hurts

But how could that be worse?

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

I’ll say when I’m ready

You’ll know when I’m ready

When I’m ready

(are we only damaging, damaging)

[Chorus]

We wanted someone to be more like a partner, an ideas guy with fresh ears." <ref name=":2" /> The result musically was a power pop <ref>{{Citation|url=https://consequenceofsound.net/2013/06/album-review-jimmy-eat-world-damage/?new=true|last=Bray|first=Ryan|title=Album Review: Jimmy Eat World - Damage|publisher=Consequence of Sound|website=Consequence of Sound|date=2013-06-09|archive-date=|access-date=2021-03-02}}</ref> and rock album <ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/damage-mw0002537855|last=Collar|first=Matt|date=|access-date=2021-03-02|title=Damage - Jimmy Eat World|publisher=AllMusic|website=AllMusic}}</ref> reminiscent of the band's own [[Bleed American]] <ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.altpress.com/reviews/jimmy_eat_world_damage/|last=Heisel|first=Scott|title="Damage" Review by Alternative Press|website=Alternative Press|publisher=Alternative Press|date=2013-06-03|access-date=2021-03-02}}</ref>. Similar to Invented, which roughly revolved around a theme, Damage was "an attempt at making an adult breakup record", according to Adkins. The "consequences to what the characters are going through are more significant. ... I'm 37 and the world around me is a lot different than when I was writing breakup songs in my 20s. I tried to reflect that in what the lyrics are." <ref name=":0" /> Akins intentionally wrote love songs, the kind that attracted him dealt with "adversity and emotional injury. If you have a happy song about how happy you are, ... [t]here's no story there for me. I can't have any empathy." <ref name=":2" /> He compared the process of writing the lyrics to that of the band's third studio album, [[Clarity]], stating: "...that's how I approached a lot of emotional things in those days. It's the observation and experience of the world around you, and you develop the ideas from that. ... [With Damage] I'm asking myself the same kinds of questions about things, it's just that I'm in a different place in life, a completely different environment." <ref>{{Citation|url=https://chorus.fm/features/interviews/jim-adkins-of-jimmy-eat-world-2/|title=Interview: Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World|last=Bautts|first=Jonathan|date=2013-05-23|access-date=2021-03-02}}</ref>

Last week, the band released a music video for their new single, “I Will Steal You Back.” They also documented their recent home state tour with a special “In the Van” series.

The album was released on 2013-06-11, through [[RCA Records]], [[Exotic Location Recordings]]. <ref name=":3" /> Regarding RCA, Adkins noted: "There's a lot of people there we've just crossed paths with over the years and who have been really supportive of us even if they didn't have a stake in how our records did." <ref name=":0" />

The title-track sees the narrator witness his partner leave amidst broken promises and big expectations. According to Adkins, the song's bridge section was based on an idea he had since 1998. <ref>Manning, Craig. "Jimmy Eat World - Damage". AbsolutePunk. Archived from the original on June 28, 2013. Retrieved June 10, 2013. <nowiki>https://www.webcitation.org/6Hhk0maak?url=http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=3211851</nowiki></ref> reflecting on the bridge [[Jim Adkins]] states "The bridge section on that is probably the oldest thing that exists on that record. That came from an idea that I had maybe in '98 that for just whatever reason never ended up as a fleshed out part. In some ways things have kind of come back to a simpler mindset. I think we sort of focus on what feels right and trusting our judgement and walking away from it when it's done” <ref>{{Citation|title=New World Order|last=Cribb|first=Daniel|url=https://themusic.com.au/features/23602/05LEx8bJyMs/12-02-14/|date=2014-02-11 6:55pm|website=The Music|publisher=The Music|access-date=2021-03-02}}</ref>

[Verse 1]

I made it

And now, there's no turning back

I know there's no depth you wouldn't sink for the chance

I'm sorry, boy

I'm not cut for this no more

[Verse 2]

You came in

Yeah, you happened to me

And so, I waited and nothing else has since

I'm sorry, boy

But I'm no good for you no more

[Chorus]

If it's your name in lights

And if the time is yours

Then, you'd be on your back

You'd be on this floor

It's the kind of night that I'd always hoped

And he's the kind of guy worth waiting for

[Verse 3]

There's always some baggage you've got to check

And yeah, I'm trying

Hope that you'd understand

I'm sorry, boy

I'm not cut for this no more

[Chorus]

If it's your name in lights

And if the time is yours

You'd be on your back

You'd be on the floor

It's the kind of night that I'd always hoped

And he's the kind of guy worth waiting for

If it's your name in lights

And if the time is yours

You'd be on your back

You'd be on this floor

It's the kind of night that I'd always hoped

And he's the kind of guy worth waiting for

[Verse 4]

There's always some baggage you've got to check

And yeah, I'm trying

Hope that you'd understand

I'm sorry, boy

I'm not cut for this no more

[Outro]

Yes, I loved you, boy

I'm not cut for this no more

== Recording Details==
Like almost all of the tracks on [[Invented]], Cut was inspired by Jim looking at photo albums and then writing stories about the people in the photos including Cindy Sherman's "Untitled Film Stills" and Hannah Starkey "1997-2007."

Faintest snow keep falling

Hands around your waist

Nameless, standing cold

[Chorus]

Like a breath

Like a breath

Take in restraint like a breath

My lungs are so numb from holding back

[Verse 2]

Walk close to the fence

Feel it hit your clothes

Turn and smile nice

Smile and say goodnight, say goodnight

[Chorus]

In a breath

In a breath

Simple discourse breaks you clean

Simple discourse breaks you clean in half

[Bridge]

Regret

I tried it once and now I know

Your move

Settle for less again, again

[Chorus]

Like a breath

Like a breath

Like a breath (Simple discourse breaks you clean)

Like a breath (Simple discourse breaks you clean)

Take in restraint like a breath (Like a breath)

My lungs are so numb from holding back (Like a breath)

If it the endings over why do you come back for more?

Can be such a drag

Stir you round and round

You're a fake

Is it a crime?

It's over, no more can lose

Fork over, just leave me quick

Have you wondered why?

I wish I could smile

Screw the lid on tight with all your might

First come first serve

Is it right?

You're a fake

Is it a crime?

It's over, no more can lose

Fork over, just leave me quick

[Verse 1]

The ghost of recent misery

Still has a song to sing

You captivated hearts

Waiting for a spark

No one you care to recognize

Suddenly in control

Unfortunate to find

What it is inside

[Chorus]

Criminal energy

If you got blood to bleed

Your fever with the fight

Your each and every night

Oh, yeah, you'll come to see

We're the same, we're the same, yeah, it's understood

We're gonna take, gonna take while the getting's good

Come get it all for free

Criminal energy, criminal energy

Huh

[Verse 2]

Answer any conspiracy

So irresistible

But there's no them to see

Only you and me

No face, no cause for empathy

They tell you all the time

The threat is still alive

Yeah, that's still a lie

[Chorus]

Criminal energy

If you got blood to bleed

Your fever with the fight

Your each and every night

Oh, yeah, you'll come to see

That we're the same, we're the same, yeah, it's understood

We're gonna take, gonna take while the getting's good

Come get it all for free

Criminal energy

Criminal energy

Oh!

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

Criminal energy

If you got blood to bleed

Your fever with the fight

Your each and every night

Oh, yeah, you'll come to see

We're gonna take, gonna take while the getting's good

[Verse 1]

There's no clarity in front of me

Only degrees of hating

Obscenity, there's no charity

Some don't deserve to make it

You'll blame and fight each other

For just a slice of plunder

Too down and tired to wonder

Whose foot you're crawling under

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Ah-ah, oh-oh-oh (Ah-ah, oh-oh-oh)

You're on your own

You're on your own

[Verse 2]

Read carefully, can't possibly

A threat to future earnings

Suspiciously, through editing

The facts are disappearing

With discipline and message

You'll take awkward possession

Of nothing you really wanted

Welcome, congratulations

[Chorus]

Oh-oh, you're on

You're on your own

[Verse 3]

There's no clarity in front me

Only degrees of hating

Obscenity, there's no charity

Some don't deserve to make it

You'll blame and fight each other

For just a slice of plunder

Too down and tired to wonder

Whose foot you're crawling under

[Verse 1]

When I finally finished school

It was the first thing that I did

What every townie kid dreams of

I packed and started west

A thousand dollars I had saved

And my sister's two cassettes

The Dead from Fillmore East

And Otis Redding's Greatest Hits

[Chorus]

Coffee and cigarettes

As simple as it gets

Of all the things I think I'll miss

There's staying up with you

Coffee and cigarettes

Coffee and cigarettes

[Verse 2]

Then, I commit with some restraint

To a boy I thought might care

It didn't work but I found out soon

And never dug roots there

I've been a lot of places since

And nothing else compares

To easy times and easy eyes

To meet you in a stare

[Chorus]

Coffee and cigarettes

As simple as it gets

Of all the things I think I'll miss

There's staying up with you

Coffee and cigarettes

Coffee and cigarettes

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

When I finally finished school

It was the first thing that I did

What every townie kid dreams of

I packed and started west

[Chorus]

Coffee and cigarettes

As simple as it gets

Of all the things I think I'll miss

There's staying up with you

Coffee and cigarettes

[Outro]

There's staying up with you

Coffee and cigarettes

Coffee and cigarettes

There's staying up with you

Jen,

Don't be scared, Don't be shy

We use to do this all the time

you know it Jen

Jen,

We could be happy now

So jet across the coast and country, Jen

Sometimes Jennifer,

Live for too long and then your chance is gone

The choice we're meant to take

Is one they'll never take

All you have to do is say

Jen,

I think you tried just a little hard

Acting like something you not

Jen

I wanna make you feel the way you should

You have to let things go to keep them close

What you'll do today

Already has a name

Is anything but a mistake

Jen,

Don't be scared, no don't be shy

We used to do it all the time

Ya-Ya-You know it Jen

It's you and me, what could that mean?

You can't pretend we're only friends then walk away.

ooooohh

No one's looking now

Take a chance, come on

Could do anything you want

Jen

Put your arms around someone soft

Take it as it comes, trust your heart

Trust me

You know it, Jen

Put your arms around someone soft

Take it as it comes, trust your heart

Trust me

Trust your heart, trust me

Orangewood Sessions drummer
I'm listening to the Orangewood Sessions from 1992. So far it's raw and in-your-face. If I'm not mistaken, Zach joined the band just after this album was released around 1993. Does anybody have any information on who the original drummer is?

thomcrowe
Zach has always been the drummer. He and Jim were friends since they were kids. There was another bassist, Mitch Porter, who left the band to serve his mission for the LDS church. He was replaced by Rick.

emi2018
This is actually incorrect, Zach replaced their original drummer . The original lineup was Rick, Tom, and the first drummer, the original drummer plays on the Orangewood Sessions. I don’t like to post his name publicly as I’m not sure he would be comfortable with that. I was the original drummers high school sweetheart and have known Rick and Tom since 1992 and Jim and Zach since 93/94. Edited to add that Mitch took over for Rick and then Rick replaced Mitch permanently. I don’t recall why Rick didn’t play with them for awhile, allowing Mitch to join, but there were lots of bands going on at that time and roles changed quite a bit.

thomcrowe
I learned something today. Thanks u/emi2018

emi2018
You’re welcome! I’m always so interested in reading people’s comments on the early days of the band, I feel so lucky that I was there for it and always try to chime in if I think I can provide helpful info.

Grimus! Where did a band come up with that name? It seems that McDonald's Happy Meals are a popular thing, since the McDonald's character Grimus is who the an is named after. Members ofthe band are seniors Tom Linton, who sings and plays the guitar, Ricky Burch who plays the bass, and junior Mason Coo-per on the drums. Members of the band say they met through friends. They have been together for three years. Because they all have jobs, their practice times vary. "We try to squeeze in at least a couple of hours three times a week," said band members. Their band has gone by many different names in the past, like Corn Bread, Sideburn Circus, Sooplex, and Creepdive. But this name looks like it's going to last. When asked if they've thought about changing it again, they said, "Nope, it hasn't come to thought." Performing together for three years has helped them solve another problem also. Band members said, We used to get nervous before a show, but more experience made it easier." Grimus has played at many clubs around the valley, including Sun Club, Hollwood Alley and The Silver Dollar Club. Tom explainecl,"Bars are fun to play at, but they only allow you to go inside if you are of age. I'd rather be hanging around with people my own age at clubs." When playing at clubs they are sure to tell their friends to come and join the crowd. The group has also played at private parties. Grimus hopes to soon cut a tape and hopefully encourage people to buy it. "I can't wait until we make money," said Mason. "Amen," added Ricky. '''Jammin'<nowiki/>''' Grimus practices after school at Mason Cooper's house. We get wild and crazy when no one is around and it's just the three of us,' said Mason. Ricky Burch added, 'Even with managing school, finding time to practice and working, we still find time to have fun. There's a time to be serious and a time to be mellow. 20 Entertainment News" <ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/JimmyEatWorld/comments/hqjwd7/my_brother_went_to_high_school_with_tom_and_i/|date=2020-07-13|title=My brother went to high school with Tom and I found this in an old yearbook.|last=u/i_chew_gum|website=Reddit|publisher=Reddit|access-date=2021-04-26}}</ref></blockquote>

Just Tonight... is track 2 of 11 on [[Jimmy Eat World]]'s album [[Futures]]. Originally known as "sex you up" a title [[Jim Adkins]] "came up with that title really early and it just stuck. maybe it was a tip of the cap to color me badd. even though we found a more appropriate title, we will probably never stop referring to it by its old, more risqué handle." says [[Zach Lind]]. <ref name=":4" /> Jim says "I thought if we gave songs bad enough working titles then we would be forced to come up with something better. too often we have ended up leaving the working title. I bet lots of people do the same thing. you get to the end of the process of working on the song and anything you try to call the song doesn't sound as fitting as the working title. even calling this "sex you up", which later was reduced to "sex you", wasn't bad enough. I ended up liking it. fortunately no one else was into it." <ref name=":4" />

I was scared but once I thought about, I let it go

Everything she said to me I guess I ought to know

We're all tired talk when it comes to shove

Put up, put out or stay at home

We'll never be the same, never feel this way again

I'd give you anything but you want pain

A little water please, I taste you all over my teeth

Never again. Just tonight? Okay

[Verse 2]

All at once the music stopped, the feeling went away

An ugly picture, me and you, but nothing I can change

You know what happens with the lights back on

The less you know the more you want

You want, you want

We'll never be the same, never feel this way again

I'd give you anything but you want pain

A little water please, I taste you all over my teeth

Never again. Just tonight? Okay

We'll never be the same, never feel this way again

But before they could start recording, they had to allow their feet to come back to Earth.

The Mesa, Arizona, rockers are about finished with the writing and are gearing up to hit the studio soon.

"We have a sh--load of new songs and they're just kind of awaiting the editing process," singer Jim Adkins said at last week's ASCAP Pop Music Awards. "Realistically, we'll be maybe making a new record for real in the summer."

Jimmy Eat World will again record in a Los Angeles studio with Mark Trombino (Blink-182, Finch), who produced the group's previous three albums.

"It's a lot of rock and it's a lot of melodies," bassist Rick Burch said of the new material. "It's really varied right now. We gotta narrow it down and focus it."

The success of Jimmy Eat World's self-titled third album, which included the hits "The Middle," "Sweetness" and "Bleed American" (see "Pop Goes The Emo On Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American"), will not affect the band's approach to music.

Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 @ 10:48 PM by Zach

so the making of LP5 is kicking into high gear. although we are not officially tracking the song for real yet, we are hard at work with our long time producer friend Mark Trombino. he has been spending a lot of time with us in the crazy desert heat to widdle down, rockify, and chisel these songs into the buggin' joints that they need to be. we will start recording the record in a unspecified studio in an unspecified land in the first week of august. we are currently working on 18 different songs and are also hoping for some more songs to come to life before that time.

a few songs that people have been asking about are sparkle and untitled with tom vocals on it. we are working on both of those songs for this next record and they will be recorded. we aren't sure if they will make the record or not. also, beware that these songs will be pretty different from what you may have heard, so don't expect something that sounds like what you are used to.

well, if you anyone has any specific questions about the new songs, post them there and i will try to get you some answers.

also, please notice at the bottom of our main page is a banner linking to DATA, an organization that is helping the fight against aids and poverty in Africa. please check it out and get involved in any way you can to help in this cause.

Jimmy Eat World are almost finished the “darker” follow-up to their 2001 breakthrough ‘BLEED AMERICAN’.

The band are hard at work in a California studio with longtime producer Mark Trombino.

Due out early next year, the album is “a little bit darker” than the last record, frontman Jim Adkins told Rolling Stone. “But I’m sure dark for us is nowhere near dark for most.”

The band plan to record 16 songs, and five weeks into the sessions, Adkins says there are only a couple more songs to complete. “No matter how much time you give yourself, you wish you had more,” he says. “But it sounds really good.”|title=Darker World!|last=NME|publisher=NME|access-date=2021-02-09|date=2003-09-25}}</ref>.

probably only marty and robby (who doesn't have lj) will care about this:

so when jimmy eat world was recording the album "futures," they initially recorded with mark trombino, who had produced virtually all of their previous work, including my all time favorite album (by any band), "clarity." for some reason, the band scrapped the sessions and started over with a more radio-friendly producer, gil norton (who has produced, among other things, the pixies 'doolittle,' 'bossanova,' and 'trompe le monde,' the foo fighters 'the colour and the shape' and 'echoes silence patience and grace,' the distillers 'coral fang,' sr-71's 'now you see inside,' and dashboard confessional's 'a mission a mark a brand a scar.'

i got the trombino sessions from joe a month or two ago, and it took me a while to get around to listening to them. but now that i have given them a few spins (and put the songs in a more listenable order, and deleted a couple of the particularly weak tracks) i like them more than the final, released product.

the recordings are a little rougher than i'm accustomed to hearing from JEW, but i think the arrangements are much better... it sounds like they were trying to go back to the style of songs on clarity (slower songs, long builds, several songs in the 5-9 minute range) instead of the pop radio sound they ended up with on futures.

if you've got it, try this track order:

1. shame
2. kill
3. big cars
4. just tonight...
5. untitled
6. jen
7. night drive
8. the world you love
9. nothing wrong
10. coming home
11. hate the bliss

i didn't really like 'jen' as a b-side / bonus track, but i think it works better in this context.

i disliked 'night drive' a whole lot on futures, but this version is amazing.

'kill' and 'nothing wrong' aren't all that different, they just aren't as polished.

'untitled' and 'coming home' resurfaced on the 'stay on my side tonight' EP with different names. i like both of these versions as well or better.

Jimmy Eat World
By Waleed Rashidi

"I think we expected to be able to get our records in more stores and [get] exposure to people so that they might want to go get them," says Jimmy Eat World vocalist Jim Adkins of his band?s signing to DreamWorks and the subsequent release of his previous full-length, 2001's Jimmy Eat World. "But none of us could?ve ever predicted or expected what happened after that."

he ?what happened? Adkins is referring to is the incredible transformation of Jimmy Eat World, a band that was once sliced from the ranks of Capitol Records? rock division. This was the same band whose popularity initially swelled in the emerging underground indie rock circuit. And it?s still the same group whose image was about as anonymous and inoffensive as a clean-cut university undergrad. All the aforementioned morphed into the musical powerhouse that, just a year after its DreamWorks debut hit store shelves, was awarded a Platinum record, ventured on a tireless string of tours, and dominated the nation?s mainstream modern rock airwaves and music video networks through a series of hit singles.

Not to play the game of ?we told you so,? but it?s hard to look back and ignore the immense crescendo of momentum that lead to the band?s eventual eruption in popularity. Perennial faves in the media, the Tempe, Ariz.-based foursome certainly had a few cards stacked in their favor before the self-titled album?s launch (originally titled Bleed American). Mean Street ran the August 2001 cover story that hit the streets around the time that effort hit store shelves, and the Eat Worlds even landed a cover inset photo (December 1998) before the release of 1999?s Clarity.

This month, Jimmy Eat World is poised to show another solid hand of cards with the release of Futures, the band?s first full-length since their breakthrough. Much has changed in the rock music scene since the explosion of emo, indie, screamo, melodic hardcore and the like, plus changes in the industry at large. In fact, the very label Jimmy Eat World was signed to ? DreamWorks ? dissolved into Interscope, after some corporate re-shuffling.

Regardless of such changes, the foursome (vocalist/guitarist Adkins, guitarist/vocalist Tom Linton, bassist Rick Burch and drummer Zach Lind) have been right there to roll with the punches ? even charting a new direction with a new producer, after an initial attempt to put Futures, their fourth major-label effort, into gear with longtime producer Mark Trombino stalled. Adkins still speaks highly of Trombino: ?I really think he?s one of the best people out there making records,? the frontman says. The act simply wanted a fresh perspective this time around.

?We just got to the point where we were out of ideas, and we felt like rather than continue on into an unknown territory, we decided to get out of the studio, take a break, play some shows, kind of re-group [and] get to be a band again. And after we had done that, we just decided that it may be better to go to back to the studio with a new person."

That new person selected for the task was veteran producer Gil Norton, whose diverse resume sports albums by The Pixies, Dashboard Confessional and The Distillers, something Adkins says he found attractive.

?We liked the idea that he?s worked on so many different kinds of records,? he says. ?There?s quite a wide spectrum of music he?s worked on. He came out to Arizona, hung out with us for a couple days and we got into it with some of the demos that we?d been working on. [We] really liked his approach and he kind of sold us that we would both agree on what we quantify as good in working out songs.?

With Norton on deck, the foursome re-launched their album?s recording sessions in February, working steadily for three months and noticing the changes occurring amongst themselves, thanks in part to Norton?s direction.

?I think, like especially with Clarity and Bleed American, I sort of fell into this pattern of just like doing the least amount of flashy, excitable drum things, and really kept it very simple,? Lind recalls. ?In a way, I didn?t want to get in the way of the songs. And we started working with Gil Norton, and he was really pushing me. We were doing pre-production for the album and he was like, ?Yeah, you know, it feels kinda boring.? He was kinda challenging me, saying it?s just kinda boring, like there?s really nothing going on over there, like ?What do you got for me?? He really sort of brought out of me a sense of playing that I don?t think I had been doing in a while.?

Futures also provided a change of scenery, for it was actually the first time Adkins and company had an opportunity to work on one of their albums within their home state at a friend?s house.

?We just tracked the majority of it at [a] house in the mountains of Tucson,? Adkins recalls. ?Tucson isn?t exactly our neighborhood, but it?s just nice getting out of L.A. We?ve only recorded in California and it was nice to really do something different. It was cool, it was good.?

Futures? end result is a wide-reaching assortment of time-honored Jimmy Eat World textures and colors, encompassing all of the act?s previous efforts. The album?s first single, ?Pain,? sports progressions and choruses that offer a cousin-like kinship with ?Bleed American.? Darker, muscular Static Prevails-era moments unravel on songs like ?Nothingwrong.? And there?s plenty of Clarity-esque balladry (?Drugs Or Me?) and subtle dynamics (?Kill?) to keep longtime fans appeased.

?It think it?s really moody and we got really deep in creating the atmospheric layers that are behind all the hooks and stuff for every song,? Adkins says of Futures? sonic vibe.

Curiously enough, a decision was made ? after promotional copies were mailed out to the press ? to excise one of the session?s finest cuts, a two-and-a-half minute, three-chord pop gem titled ?Jen,? a track somewhat similar to the act?s mega hit, ?The Middle.?

?It was just the oddball song,? Adkins says. ?I think it?s the kind of tune that will stand up stronger if it?s by itself somewhere else. It just makes the record an album, I think, by not having it in there, even though it definitely is a side of what we do.?

One thing Adkins says Jimmy Eat World doesn?t do is make music for any particular group of people.

?I?ve never been into the elitist side of what some people would call punk,? he notes, ?the elitist, kind of indie vibe that you get at a lot of places in some ways. You know, in a lot of ways, your typical kid that only gets music through the radio is a lot more open-minded than some of the people that claim to be a hardcore, independent music person. It?s strange like that.?

?We?ve never censored ourselves when we?re writing,? Adkins adds. ?It?s never about making a certain kind of record. Anything that we think is cool can be a Jimmy Eat World song, which is nice and we?ve always felt it was important to just choose the songs that we make our records from on the basis of just being good songs ... It leaves doors open in the future, I mean, we can do whatever we want. I think if people have followed us along up until now, I don?t think anything we?d do would really throw people and be something they wouldn?t like. If they already like the band, then I think that what we do is pretty much what we do. And I think it?s all over the place sometimes, but it?s what keeps us interested.?

It seems like in a short time, he went from being like a fifth band member to almost being cut out entirely.

Zach: Yeah, we can talk about that. There might have been an element of it that went towards being soured, but I think what it comes down to is that we were in the middle of making Futures for the first time. (laughs) Mark was producing the record, and I think it was really just circumstances and a bad situation. We overestimated the batch of songs we had, and figured we’d sort it out as we went along.
Rick: We will throw it all up in the studio and see how it’s going to settle, see how it falls into place.

When you say “overestimated”, you mean you thought the songs were better than they really were?

Zach: We felt like we had an album, and at the end of the day, the breaking up point was the realization that we didn’t have an album, and that we needed to step back and cut off the recording process to move forward. In that decision-making, there was some tension. Mark had some bands coming up that he was working on, and there was only a certain time window. So here we are saying we have to stop, while he is a few months away from starting another project. So it didn’t look good, and it was very confusing. I chalk it up to circumstance, and in that tension, things rubbed a little bit, and there was some tensions on both sides. But at the end of the day, I still communicate with Mark, and he’s a really talented person but I think it got to the point where we had worked together so much where there was an element of getting almost too comfortable with a person. Just the fact that we thought everything would fall into place drove that home. And that’s not Mark’s fault, or even ours. It’s just kind of the way things happen when you are working with someone over and over again. It was really good for us to go back and make Futures again. After we left the studio with Trombino, we came up with “Polaris,” “Work,” “Pain,” “23” – the songs that really gave Futures its heartbeat, you know?

You were coming off of "Bleed American."

A: It was pretty intense. I think working with Gil Norton was a big change for us. Everybody has a slightly different take on what they like to hear and how they like to get there. And Gil was really into the details of things and made us focus on the transitional parts for getting into and out of different sections of songs – a level of detail that we hadn't considered before. When there were sections of the song that kind of bumped into each other, we worked on how can one kind of lead into the other to make both sections more effective. I'm sure you can go through and read interviews with Foo Fighters about working with Gil and the level of detail that he gets into. You could see him getting completely engrossed in the material. He was just so invested in it and he's not even in the group. So that sort of forces you to step up and take a closer look at everything too.

Q: What led you to work with him?

A: The records he's worked on. For a lot of producers, that kind of gets you in the door, what projects you've worked on. And just meeting with him. He came out to our studio in Tempe and we showed him some demos we were working on. And we right away got into it, got dirty, started working. You can conceptualize all day about what it might be like getting into the studio with somebody in a creative working environment but until you actually just do it, you don't really know.

Just Tonight... features a "propulsive" energy that reminded one reviewer of "Run to You" by Bryan Adams. the same reviewer noted that it would "likely be used in some upcoming action movie chase scene." <ref>{{Citation|url=http://music.ign.com/articles/578/578574p1.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090717043310/http://music.ign.com/articles/578/578574p1.html|last=Gilchrist|first=Todd|title=Futures|website=IGN|publisher=IGN|date=2005-01-10|archive-date=2009-07-19|access-date=2021-03-23}}</ref>

==== Lyrics ====
[Verse 1]

I was scared but once I thought about, I let it go

Everything she said to me I guess I ought to know

We're all tired talk now, it's just for show

If want a better time come out

We'll never be the same, never feel this way again

I'd give you everthing but you want pain

A little water please, I taste you all over my teeth

Never again. Just tonight? Okay

An ugly picture, me and you, but nothing I can change

You know what happens with the lights back on

The less you know the more you want

You want, you want

[Verse 1]

Here, you can be anything

And I think that scares you

I think that scares you

Here, I've been here before

But only by myself

Myself

[Chorus]

I promised I'd see it again

I promised I'd see this with you now

I promised I'd see it again

I promised I'd see this with you now

[Verse 2]

What giving up gives you

And where giving up takes you

I've had and I've been

Here, in center frame

Here, there's only air

And just enough space to fit

[Chorus]

I promised I'd see it again

I promised I'd see this with you now

I promised I'd see it again

I promised I'd see this with you now

[Bridge]

I said, said, said it out loud over and over

Said, said, said it out loud, but what do I know?

Said, said, said it out loud over and over

Yeah

I said, said, said it out loud over and over

Said, said, said it out loud, but it did not help

I'll stop now

Just enough so I can hear you

I'll stay up as late as it takes

[Chorus]

I promised I'd see it again

I promised I'd see this with you now

I promised I'd see it again

I promised I'd see this with you now

[Bridge]

I said, said, said it out loud over and over

Said, said, said it out loud, but it did not help

I'll stop now

Just enough so I can hear you

I'll stay up as long as it takes

[Outro]

I'll stay up as late as it takes

I'll stay up as late as it takes

As late as it takes

As late as it takes

As long as it takes, takes, takes

I'll stay up as late as it takes

As long as it takes

Jimmy Eat World had signed with Capitol Records in mid-1995, they signed a development deal with the label that included one album, which became [[Static Prevails]], with the possibility for six more. <ref name=":3">{{Citation|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/jimmy-eat-world-mn0000852688/biography|title=Jimmy Eat World {{!}} Biography & History|last=Leahey|first=Andrew|website=AllMusic|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=2021-02-23}}</ref> <ref name=":4">{{Citation|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190223034646/http://www.undertheradarmag.com/news/jimmy_eat_world_reflecting_on_the_20th_anniversary_of_clarity/|title=Jimmy Eat World – Reflecting on the 20th Anniversary of 'Clarity'|last=King|first=Ian|date=2019-02-22|website=Under the Radar|publisher=Under the Radar|access-date=2021-02-23}}</ref> The recording process for Static Prevails was hampered by recurring clashes with [[Capitol Records]] executives who insisted the band rework some of their songs and write new ones. <ref name=":0">{{Citation|url=https://www.dallasobserver.com/music/clarity-prevails-6398007|title=Clarity prevails|last=Crain|first=Zac|date=1999-03-04|website=Dallas Observer|publisher=Dallas Observer|access-date=2021-02-23}}</ref> This was, in part, due to a shift away from the pop-punk sound of their earlier work, and into post-hardcore and emo. <ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.moderndrummer.com/2004/05/zach-lind/|title=Zach Lind of Jimmy Eat World|date=2004-05|website=Modern Drummer}}</ref> <ref>{{Citation|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yyoEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA83&lpg=PA83&dq=Post-hardcore:+Keiper&source=bl&ots=rpb2kGLhrx&sig=ACfU3U2FoaClL4HMVrEf04_DjDqRTTwhfA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiIsLGpoIHvAhWbWM0KHYJUCW4Q6AEwCnoECBcQAw#v=onepage&q=Keiper&f=false|title=The Scene Is Now: Japancore: How Japan Is Helping Emo Get Its Groove Back|publisher=CMJ New Music Monthly|date=2001-04|last=Keiper|first=Nicole|access-date=2021-02-23}}</ref> <ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/music-reviews/2002/0910/448776-jimmyeatworldalbums/|title=Jimmy Eat World - Clarity & Static Prevails|last=Guerin|first=Harry|date=2002-09-10|publisher=RTÉ|website=RTÉ|access-date=2021-02-23}}</ref> The label wanted the band to write new songs in a rehearsal space in Los Angeles with the production team of [[Tom Rothrock]] and [[Rob Schnapf]]. Eventually a compromise was reached allowing for the band to work with thier choice of producers, [[Mark Trombino]] and [[Wes Kidd]] for the bulk of the album but having Rothrock and Schnapf mix the two songs the label wanted to release ([[Rockstar]] and [[Seventeen]]). Capitol included the two songs on promotional samplers that were sent to programming directors at radio stations; the label said it was part of a development process it had for the band. The Dallas Observer said the sampler and a lack of promotion were seen as the label cutting its losses. <ref name=":0" />

Static Prevails, Jimmy Eat World's first major-label album was released on 1996-07-23 <ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/release/static-prevails-mr0001584946|last=DaRonco|first=Mike|title=Static Prevails - Jimmy Eat World {{!}} Release Info|website=AllMusic|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=2021-02-23}}</ref> Jimmy Eat World promoted Static Prevails with a short tour of the United States, and a cross-country tour with [[Sense Field]] in early 1997. <ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/music/givin-us-static-6423860|title=Givin' Us Static|first=Ted|last=Simons|date=1996-08-08|access-date=2021-02-23|website=Phoenix New Times|publisher=Phoenix New Times}}</ref> <ref>{{Citation|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jU8KAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA18#v=onepage&q&f=false|title=The Refreshments go prime time|last=Martin|first=Dale|date=1997-02-14|publisher=The Victoria Advocate|access-date=2021-02-23|quote=Punk band "Jimmy Eat World" is planning a world tour that will take them to nearly every state, country, and continent that has electricity.

Sometime after this, Jimmy Eat World included [[Crush]] on a split single with [[Jejune]] that was released through [[Big Wheel Recreation]]. <ref name=":5">{{Citation|url=https://web.archive.org/web/19991009075119/http://jimmyeatworld.net/discography.html|title=Discography|last=Jimmy Eat World|website=Jimmy Eat World|date=|access-date=2021-02-23}}</ref>

In early 1998-02, [[Jim Adkins]] and [[Tom Linton]] were a part of a six-person side project that would have consisted of "really quiet, really stripped-down stuff. Everyone's playing really simple parts, but it's layered, the kind of stuff like Bedhead does, you know, with their three guitars." Before the project came to fruition, the band folded, Adkins said "We never had one practice, Trying to coordinate a band practice with six people is just ridiculous. It was supposed to be a six-person band So I had six or seven songs that had vocals; they were finished, and I had no home for them." this included [[Roller Queen|Rollerqueen]] , [[Table for Glasses]], and [[Goodbye Sky Harbor]] and other tracks that had a big hand in shaping Clarity's sound. "In fact, Clarity might not exist if Adkins' other band did." <ref name=":0" /> <ref name=":1">{{Citation|url=https://web.archive.org/web/19990203022649/http://www2.hollywoodandvine.com/jimmyeatworld/|title=Bio|access-date=2021-02-23|publisher=Hollywood and Vine|website=Hollywood and Vine}}</ref> <ref name=":2" />

In 1998 the band came to Los Angeles to do pre-production with Mark. "We holed up in an LA rehearsal spot. I think the rumor at the time was Rage Against the Machine just did a whole album in their practice room at the same joint. It seemed like such a pain in the ass having to load in and out for a daily or hourly jam session. We didn’t have a dedicated practice place but we could play almost anytime at Rick and Tom’s “club 700”. There wasn’t anything we could do to make the neighbors hate that house MORE." <ref name=":2">{{Citation|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090917121956/http://www.jimmyeatworld.com/clarity|title=Clarity Track by Track|last=Jimmy Eat World.|publisher=Jimmy Eat World|website=Jimmy Eat World|date=2009-09-17|access-date=2021-02-23}}</ref> Clarity marks the start of Adkins providing lead vocals and a majority of lyric writing (rather than Linton) with the exception of [[Blister]] <ref>{{Citation|url=https://consequenceofsound.net/2013/06/dissected-jimmy-eat-world-with-jim-adkins/8/|last=Gerber|first=Justin|title=Dissected: Jimmy Eat World (with Jim Adkins)|website=Consequence of Sound|access-date=2021-02-23|publisher=Consequence of Sound}}</ref> The band began recording Clarity with Mark Trombino in 1998-05 and1998-06, eventually sharing producer credit. <ref name=":1" /> They were free to make it however they wanted without interference from Capitol. This is attributed to the label having no interest in the band by this point. <ref name=":0" /> Recording started at [[Sound City]] in Van Nuys, California, with assistant engineer [[Nick Raskulinecz]]. <ref name=":6">{{Citation|title=Clarity 7243 5 39616 0 2|publisher=Capitol Records|last=Jimmy Eat World|date=1999|access-date=2021-02-23}}</ref> The band choose this studio because they had previously gotten good drum sounds on Static Prevails; however, due to its expensive rate, the band only recorded drum tracks there. "We had good luck doing drums for Static there so we decided to try it again" Adkins shared, "The slower tempo and low overdub count let the drums breathe. You can hear why the big room is the expensive room." <ref name=":2" /> They then moved to [[Clear Lake Audio]] in North Hollywood, California where each track was pieced together to completion--one after another. Recording the overdubs from scratch allowed each song to grow into its own sonic personality. <ref>{{Citation|title=Bio|url=https://web.archive.org/web/19991006021318/http://hollywoodandvine.com/jimmyeatworld/index_bio.html|last=|website=Hollywood and Vine|publisher=Hollywood and Vine|access-date=2021-02-23|date=1999-10-06}}</ref> During the recording process, the band slept on the office floor of their manager [[Jorge Hinojosa]]. <ref name=":7">{{Citation|url=https://www.altpress.com/news/jimmy-eat-world-clarity-20th-anniversary/|last=Shoemaker|first=Whitney|date=2019-02-23|title=Jimmy Eat World believed 'Clarity' would be their very last record|website=Alternative Press|publisher=Alternative Press|access-date=2021-02-23}}</ref> Believing that this might be the last album they might record, Adkin's explained "the atmosphere of the Clarity sessions was very encouraging for experimentation. Any idea was explored for some element to make the song better. I would think a song was totally finished and then one of the guys in the band or Mark would bring up an idea that really closed the deal. Tom and Rick had a hook up to get Bjork tickets one night. I really wanted to go but had to do some guitar thing that was holding up other overdubs. Later that night Mark told me to try and add some counterpoint vocals in the ending crescendo section. What happened is the “not asking of me anything...” section. I can’t imagine the tune not having that. And I still have never seen solo Bjork live." <ref name=":2" /> With this mindset that they would not get the opportunity to make another album, and decided to included a variety of extra instrumentation. <ref name=":4" /> This included the cello on [[Table for Glasses]] saying "if you aren't doing a lot, it doesn't take a lot to get a big dynamic impact" <ref name=":2" /> and using two different drum sets for [[Lucky Denver Mint]], a first for the band. They liked the effect, and also used two sets on [[Ten]] and [[Goodbye Sky Harbor]]. <ref name=":2" /> [[Crush]] was re-recorded during the sessions <ref name=":5" /> With the mindset that they might never get another chance, during the sessions for the band continued writing and recording demo material. For instance, [[Softer]] which would appear on the [[Jimmy Eat World (Extended play)]], was written half way through the album sessions and then finished back in Tempe, Arizona. <ref name=":1" /> Trombino mixed the songs at [[One on One South]] in Los Angeles, California, with assistant engineers [[Ron Rivera]] and [[Justin Smith]], and at [[Music Grinder]] in Hollywood with assistant engineer [[Dean Fisher]]. [[Brian Gardner]] then mastered the album at [[Bernie Grundman Mastering]] in Hollywood. <ref name=":6" /> [[Susie Katayama]] assisted Adkins in writing and arranging the string parts for some of the songs. <ref name=":2" />

During the recording, CEO of Capitol Records [[Gary Gersh]] was replaced by [[Roy Lott]] in 1998. Gersh, who later became Jimmy Eat World's co-manager, felt the label's new regime was not equipped for developing a band like them. <ref>{{Citation|last=Kenneally|first=Tim|date=2001-09|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PCPpNtEu0GgC&pg=PA56#v=onepage&q&f=false|title=Get Happy!|website=Spin Vol. 17 no. 9.

That week we got a firm release date for the album I have a strong suspicion Craig was tactfully keeping from us that the label had no intention of releasing Clarity. That is, until KROQ started playing it. Really why would they have kept us around? I think at the time Static Prevails had sold maybe somewhere close to 5k copies. One thing we learned early in the process recording and touring with Static was that the big labels were great selling tens and hundreds of thousands of records.

We started playing shows, putting on shows, meeting people and having a blast. We recorded a demo tape at a church in our home town by a guy named Jason Boreman, who is the music leader there. We actually recorded our first songs on the same stage, in spring of 94, that Zach will be getting married on on the 26th of November, 1999. Weird. So, we used that demo tape to circulate the gospel of Jimmy Eat World around Phoenix and it did just that. With that, we convinced a guy to record a seven inch for us for cheap. We recorded that, put it out on Wooden Blue Records, a label headed by two high school friends, Jeremy Yocum and Joel Leibow. While recording that seven inch, we convinced the engineer to record us for a full length cd. So, we did that and released it on Wooden Blue in December of 94. It sold about 2,000 copies all together and is now out of print.|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010606124239/http://www.jimmyeatworld.net/history.html|last=Jimmy Eat World|website=Jimmy Eat World|publisher=Jimmy Eat World|access-date=2021-02-24|title=History}}</ref> The band celebrated the end of millennium with two shows in their hometown Tempe, Arizona. <ref>{{Citation|url=https://web.archive.org/web/19991109202046/http://www.jimmyeatworld.net/news.html|title=News|date=1999-10-21|access-date=2021-02-24|website=Jimmy Eat World|publisher=Jimmy Eat World}}</ref> Clarity was released worldwide on 20021-01-29 and was promoted with the 2001 singles [[Blister]] and [[Lucky Denver Mint]]. <ref>{{Citation|title=Clarity|last=Jimmy Eat World|publisher=Capitol Records|date=2001}}</ref> <ref>{{Citation|title=Blister 7243 8 79454 2 5|date=2001|publisher=Capitol Records|last=Jimmy Eat World}}</ref> <ref>{{Citation|publisher=Capitol Records|title=Lucky Denver Mint 7243 8 89821 2 2|last=Jimmy Eat World|date=2001}}</ref>

[[Just Watch the Fireworks]] began as a slower, ballad-esque type song, until Trombino suggested changing it to mid-tempo. <ref name=":2" /> The final version is drawn out by Katayama's and [[Joel Derouin]]'s string parts. <ref name=":4" /> Upon its re-issue in 2007, Blender magazine noted Clarity "established a foundation for 21st century emo. Dozens of weepy bottom-feeders have tried to write mid-20s angst anthems better than the soaring "Lucky Denver Mint" or the delicately heartbroken "Just Watch The Fireworks"—but few have succeeded." <ref name=":11" />
