“Can I Lie With You In Your Grave?”

Do you see that line above? Why yes, it is a lyric to a new Say Anything song that Max played at an acoustic show in California last week. [Why have I not moved there yet?] The song is called “Ahhh… Men” and will be on the band’s new album, due out next year.

Is it amazing? Of course it is amazing. It’s Max Bemis playing a brand-new Say Anything song. I kind of can’t wait to hear what it sounds like when it’s played by the full band… but this is just plain gorgeous.

I think the thing that fascinates me most about Max is how wildly charismatic he is, in addition to being the writer of brilliant lyrics and the whole stunning good looks thing he has going on. It really is the charisma, though. He just speaks and it’s as if he beams sunlight across a room.

Anyway, enjoy the song!

Oh, and here’s a bonus: it takes a bit of time to buffer, but Max’s whole performance was caught on video and is streaming here.
