Bad Books - You Wouldn't Have To Ask Lyrics

I Wish I Had a Time Machine SO Bad!!!!

Can Anybody Tell Me What Went Wrong in 2016?!

I hope freeman comes back for bb3

This was exactly what I was searching for! Thanks so much! Time to make some music myself. ❣️❣️

I Wish This Song was a Little Bit Longer, Like 2:52 or 3:01!

One of my favorites! Keep up the wonderful work! Feeling inspired to make music myself! ⭐

What an excellent way to start the day! Fantastic video! Time to use all this inspiration to make some tunes.

their sound reminds me of Weezer

not long enough. but i guess good things come in small packages

That disappearing and reappearing jacket on the drummer!

wow, i just found them on spotify. thanks god! they're amazing!!! 

Damn. This is Beatles quality shit right here.

Who is this?

Good music :) love Manchester's old style and this project (Bad Books) captures that for me in music i havent heard yet. Manchesters orchestra's new stuff isnt quite the same as it used to be. I would go for more acoustic/raw Machester than most of the new stuff.

+Clayton Hayes You should check out Right Away Great Captain if you're into the more acoustic stuff

+Brian thanks man :) I actually got almost all 3 albums memorized now lol. Can't get enough of Andy haha

I always felt 'Simple Math' was Manchester Orchestra at its best but yea after it it's not quite the same....

Been awhile.. How do you after a black mile to the surface??

I really wish this had more views. It's a shame I don't know anyone who shares my music taste.

Hate the video but great song

I wonder why..?>Sarcasm<

Fuck Vevo. Fuck these commercials.

is that Lenny Kravitz!?

Dean Wollenberg,  I was thinking the same thing!

It sounds a little like early Weezer, at least this song, most of their other stuff doesn't

Oh, these fellas and their neck-beards~

What are you, fucking retarded? Shay Carl is an amazing person, who wouldnt want to be compared to him?

If this song was an hour long it still wouldn't be long enough.
Andy is excellence

1:00 - 1:02 my face while listening to this song <3

Who the fuck is Shay Carl?

Nicki, please, stop staring at me. I'm enjoying music, don't fuck this up.

Two original and different voices doing such harmonies makes an incledible contrast and it sounds GREAT!

Live tonight at the crescent in Phoenix, going early so I can meet them, stoked.

I love those dresses! Anyone know what they are?

The fact that I've met both of them. JESUS. So handsome & brilliant.

They are just side projects. Lots of artists do it.

I remember seeing Manchester Orchestra and Kevin Devine and not even knowing of Bad Books. Now I'm sure I like Bad Books more than both.

Not enough if you ask me.

How many bands is Andy in or has been in or what? ..Manchester Orchestra, right away great captain, bad books?

this is great! :D

PWAHAHAHAA YES!!!!! YES!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!

manchester orchestra featuring kevin devine :pppppp....... whatta...????

Perfect thanks...

who the hell is shay carl?

tambourine master!

am i the only guy who ses that in some shots the drummer has a jacket, and others he doesnt? hes a wizard...

@number1ontop Hey is that guy playing the acoustic guitar the bassist for Manchester Orchestra?

@DarthXasthur you can't say that, there is so much good new music its overwhelming but you just have to dig a little more for it

@jkim0218 Yeah i cover a whole bunch of Say Anything and Brand New on my page, check it out if you got a second. Ill eventually get around to dooing Mesa Arizona, Right Away Great Captain, and Do You Really Like Being Alone. Ive just been far too lazy as of late.
HAHAHAH! All the Manchester video's are priceless. They are more funny and entertaining than anything thats on mainstream tv these days. All those bands kick ass! Thats pretty much it for good new music though. Typical dickhead stance.

@DarthXasthur I'm so glad to see Max Bemis and Jesse Lacey on that list. I was going to recommend (and be shocked) if Jesse Lacey especially wasn't on the list. I haven't listened to enough of Saves the Day to know about his songwriting. What I have heard is pretty good though. Haha, I bet you loved that video of Jesse, Andy, and Kevin all just jamming out at Looney Tunes

@DarthXasthur I would argue Rivers Cuomo, Adam Marsh, and Ben Gibbard would be in a top 5.

they need to tour again

@jkim0218 The other 3?

Max Bemis, Jesse Lacey, but more than anyone, Chris (motherfucking) Conley.

I've actually met Chris and talked to all of Saves the Day, as well as having them all autograph my Daybreak LP. They are truly an amazing band who i would love to see tour with Manchester, or Bad Books (Manchester+KD)!!!

@DarthXasthur who are the other 3?

The ear to ear smile i wore for that entire video performance was rejuvenating as well as therapeutic.

With the inception of Bad Books, its seemingly pointless to mix in other music of any kind. Ive sworn off other entirely and am now on a strict vegan diet of Andy and Kevin.

2 of the 5 greatest songwriters of our time are in this. They should tour with two toughs, another amazing all-star band.

Really though its a rather elementary concept.

Andy Hull plus Kevin Devine equals? Nuff Said...

the drummer is so cute :)

@gladitsnotme Die
Shay Carl can't be compared to Andy Hull

Who the fuck is Shay Carl?

@tornupcollegeapps Ben definitely looks like Mark. Oh man.

Could use more cow bell....

comparing Shay Carl to Andy Hull? go die...

i think there's a lot more andy hull in this combo than devine

@SunnyManchester A dude who thinks he's funny on youtube

@gladitsnotme whoever the fuck that is..

Did you guys see Manchester Orchestra's video premiere for "Simple Math" on IFC? Its pretty rad.

@Soxrule11 Good Beards you mean ;) ;) hahaa

clearly there are at least 4 rebecca black fans...this is not a good thing.

clearly there are at least 4 rebecca black fans...

Nice song Bad Beards ;)

I miss Jeremiah.

Andy Hull wishes he could be as cool as Kevin Devine

I never realized how short this song was till just now.

Kevin Devine looks like Toby from the office, also I'm waiting for Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl to make an appearance ala Lithium, lastly...great band

great video. bad books are great live :D

Classiest video I have ever seen.

Fuck weezer!

"Later on with my brother 69in'"

Even if I got in a car crash earlier that day, the SF Bad Books show was pretty amazing and made it a great night.

excited to see them on sat.

this song rocks, and needs to be longer!!!

bad books is so freaking amazing!

@gladitsnotme Boo

@DeathBox18 yeah well that would make sense considering andy hull has talked about Weezer being a big influence on his music a lot.

I loved the vocal harmonies ... didn't like the guitar solo ....great melody ...

This randomly gets stuck in my head all the time xDD

@gladitsnotme haha thats what i was gonna say, but thought i better check the comments.. :)

bennnnnnn! looks soooo happppyyyyyyyy hahah awww

Is that Andy Hull!?!?

I never knew Shay Carl was in a band!!!!

wait... andy hull... what?!?!?!?!?

Is that Penn and Teller?

they don't exactly have the 60s dance down

What an awesome Weezer cover band.

listen to im an island by kaz piech

i like the video concept. great song.

Chis Freeman still looks blind.

awesome song! 10/10 not a surprise lol

Amazing Album! 9/10 for me
