Brendon is the guy who's walking up the side of the building, by the way.
This song, released twelve years after their breakthrough hit "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", was something of a comeback, in fact, becoming not only their biggest hit, but their FIRST top 40 hit SINCE "I Write Sins Not Tragedies".
And they did it by writing and performing a more mature, humble, uplifting song that wasn't full of minor chords.
So, maybe I'm a bigger fan of theirs now.
What gives me a better feeling about the band is that, in this live performance 1) it looks like it's the same band as appears in the video, so consistency in lineup is happening 2) it's clearly really a live performance and 3) more horns than a Chicago concert.
I gotta be honest - this performance gives me chills. The band - the WHOLE band - is clearly enjoying themselves.
