American Football - Stay Home (Live on KEXP) 

Nothing sounds better than 2 telecasters together in an open tuning

I was twenty years old in 1999, escaped from university, shut up at home destroyed by depression and vices and with this album in headphones, I've been listening to him for twenty years

The drummers face says it all. It's how I feel every time I hear this song.

Its not a phase mom

I guess we all get to a point in life when open-tuned, non-distorted teles just hit the spot

everyone a gangster until the horns come in

That intro is still one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard in my life

this is lowkey one of the best KEXP recordings ever

The 8 people who disliked this must be happy dads

I didn't think it was possible for this song to get any sadder, but the echoing vocals makes it feel so distant, colder than the studio recording... I love it.

Im in a lockdown state because of Covid-19. Hope everyone in the same timeline is okay, we gonna survive this! I promise you that. 03/16/2020 #stayathome

Tears were cried whilst watching this. One of the most beautiful peices of music ever created

00:00 Stay Home 7:40 The One With The Wurlitzer

Who knew americ anfootball would be so prescient to know what nearly *everyone* on earth would be doing some 20 years later?!

everybody gangsta until 0:02

That green Telecaster is beautiful. The color reminds me of the debut album cover as well.

I would love a remake of the first álbum with this quality of sound

The transition from stay home to the one with the wurlitzer is spot on

the pinnacle of midwest emo

How do you have an ad in the middle of a song? How is that ethical ?

This is truly one of the greatest songs ever. Maybe not the greatest but one of.

I miss my 20s. I miss 2013. I miss playing in rock bands and being young. It’s so so short. Aunque a veces te moleste nunca te abandonare Otra vez

At 9:27: The look Nate gives you, staring into your soul and giving a little smirk to say "Everything will be alright"

it feels like there's an elephant on my chest

Such a great band. Americ always delivers.

Saw them in London for the first time in november 2019, before the lockdown. I was there with my girlfriend and one of my closest friends; one of the best concerts of my life. Atmosphere was so intimate and warm that i almost cried, my eyes were wet during the whole show. This band changed my life, taught me to connect with my inner and emotional part. Anytime i listen to them i feel i am part of the whole, i feel the flow of life and nature and i'm glad to be a grain of sand in it.

They are all so keyed in, all the collective sounds and energies they bring create a whole new dimension.

Appreciate the color-coding their shirts with their instruments :)

0:28 that's me everytime I hear this album again

They knew it

I have been listening to metal for most of my life, and its just the most crushing and brutal stuff. But right before school comes along, this song comes back to me. I want to stay home. I dont want to ever leave. But, its necessary. If i could stay home, and listen to this permanently, I would.

Transition at 3:12 made me shed a tear. That was beautiful! 🥺

As the world is crumbling, AF is getting me thru these long days.

I listened to this song so many times before I moved my entire life to Europe. It was an amazing decision but gosh this song was hittin different during those times

Seeing them vibe so much with the art they’ve created over 20 years ago is truly a magical thing. I wish i could be privileged to be apart of something similar. Truly fascinating.

The extended bit at the end is a treat

This is the best I’ve ever heard Mike sing

why does every one but Mike look like the same person at different ages in their life? LOL

I just turned 25 last week, listening to this song on my birthday just put my entire childhood memories flashing in my head. and by the good lord, that outro with xylophone and trumpet just made me cry even more.

The drummers technique is amazing

Best live recording for the best American Football song. Thanks KEXP people for the amazing sound and video, thanks American Football for the feels.

7:45 The One With the Wurlitzer

That trumpet, omfg.

How did they write such amazing music when they were so young?

i listened them a lot in my teenage years on my mp3, feeling emo

Love how happy the drummer looks

I´ve watched this everyday for months now. I love this performance so much, thank you for everything Americ anFootball

Definetely one of the songs I "regret i havent found out about during my teenage years" 😢

love that they flow into the one with the wurlitzer like on the album

They deliver sad song with an beautiful emotion. Love yall 🖤

This is perfect. From Chile , this band always makes me chills

Greetings from Brazil. 😍

oh god this is even better than the original

This is one of the most brilliant and artistic transitions I’ve ever heard.

Man, I wish they could play it again in the key of F

So many memories. This is the sound of being a teenager as the sun goes down in your town. Got lost in this version, until Cheryl scared the shit out of me at the end...

you can really tell mike and the band are feeling the music they're playing. it's really inspiring

Thought they sing "that's life, it's so so short" :) but love this song!!!

I am addicted to that riff.

My god Steve.... He is so good

going thru lot of shit while this banger blasts my ears. i love americ anfootball

Sungguh merdu! Love from Malaysia, AF

honestly yeah my favorite song off of this album real.

A comment doesn't really explain the way that their music makes you feel, especially at the end with the trumpet.... GAWDAMIT that was good. side note: I'm playing skyrim, pause by a fire with crickets....let the song end like that and tell me you don't have feelings

They are really makes me cry

they look happy playing this. feels rlly nice to watch them playing

God i miss the Midwest, and i am from Greece

THANK YOU KEXP

Ohhh man this is sooo sooo good! Thank you

this song is very beautiful

Perfection. So happy to witness this.

just bawled my eyes out after this

the only thing sadder than this song is getting an advert half way through it

I would stay home forever if it was possible.

repeating this everyday since 2020

The way he says energy at 3:50

いやされる...（feel relieved）

My most personally song.

i miss you.

sounds just like the lp..amazing

Stellar

I want to go back to 2007.

Офигительно, братан!

That trumpet ❤

Love this band

I love you stay home live at kexp the one with the wurlitzer outro

thank you kexp, thank you amfam footballe

beautiful song

this is beautiful

Amazing!

reminds me quite a bit bolero of maurice ravel, im enjoying this song so bad!!!

Ayyyyyyy the boyyyyyyyssss

This is bliss

Needs more teles

Melencholy Magic

From 0:56 to 1:07 I can listen to all day

Why has no one described American Football as prog before? Prog Emo should be a thing. AF are heavily influenced by Tortoise which are influenced by CAN (a prog/psych band). First time I listened to AF I didn't think they sounded like an emo band. Something to consider while listening to them.

Just learned this song last night..

Amazing brass sounds

sooo good
