Smile Empty Soul

Cant wait for the Silhouettes video to come out. I agree, Sloths are awesome mammals. Pretty slow creatures and disgustingly weird. What a combination.

Hey Guyz! it's gaby from arizona again! i can't wait for ur new video! i know it's gonna be just as great as the others. I think ur next single should be " for u" or " with this knife " well im still getting people to like u guyz, im doing pretty good! i still need advice from u guyz! well i'll write more l8rz!

LOS QUIERO MUCHO!!!

~ gAbY fRoM aZ~

Wowzers...SES rox my sox big time! I love you guys!!! Your music has really made an impact on my life. Rock On!!!

Hey,
I've tryed to get my friend to go to your site but I guess she isn't into it. Anyway, I love panda bears. My icon for my other sn is a panda. Hope to see you in Portland, only if my mother stops threating me to clean my room. I hate it when she does that.

Elise

Hey i was wondering, how early could i get to the norva if there was a chance of meeting u guys??? I'd be there any time of the day if i could meet u, I'd love to hang out and play puttputt or something lol. I hope you enjoy your days off, I can't wait until the new "Sillouettes" video comes out. I'll be at the Norva may 4th definitely though. It'll be my second time seeing yall. This week has been kinda crappy for me, I've had a soar throat all week and havent been able to go to softball tryouts (just my luck) but things could always be worse. Do you think you could download yahoo instant messenger?? That'd be awesome!!! Please do!!! Well enjoy your days off and tell Sean I'd marry him any day at any time!
~Love Always~

hey guys,
this is jacquelynn from charleston.i am so going to run away if my dad doesn't let me go to your show this friday...jk. i wish. anyways sloths are cool because they are different and pandas are cute( but not cuter than sean)and what is Ryan's favorite animal??. anyways i think your next single should be "with this knife" or "for you" i used to feel very strongly about those songs but then the person i thought would never love me did and i was the most awsomest feeling in the world. so i am gonna spread that feeling to ya'll and let you guys know that i love your music and if it is possible to love people without knowing them then i love ya'll too. (this is where u say awww) lol. A lot of my friends identify with "With this Knife" too, rejections sucks and that song really helps you heal. so it would be cool to get that song out to people who don't know how much you guys rock yet....well i hope you enjoyed your well deserved break. well i will stop blabbing now. hopefully i will see ya'll friday.
xoxo,
Jacquelynn

YES!!!! Thanks for answering the whole mammal thing. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Anywho, for your little poll, I'd have to say the next single should be The Other Side. I say that 'cause it's my best friend's favorite song and she was the one who got me into liking... no wait... into LOVING you guys! :) Plus, I think it's an awesome song, too. So yeah, I gave my two cents!

WOO HOO! I love you guys.

I can't wait for the Silhouettes video. It's gonna kick ass, I love the song. I love all the songs, actually. Pandas are cute. They remind me of Koala Bears and my cousin Lee. And sloths are nifty, I'd love to be a sloth and just do nothing. Right-o...five days until I see ya'll in Charleston, I can't wait! For the next single I'd say Every Sunday or The Other Side or Therapy. Sorry you're stuck at home. Until next time.

lovetimesamillion

I'm so glad that the plane ride was ok. I've never been on a plane and am scared to death of them. I hope you guys liked Texas. I can't wait to see the Silhouettes video. It should be awesome. I love that song. I can SO relate. Anyway guys I love you all, you rock... you know, the usual

Keep on rockin'

I think the next single should be "With This Knife" great song

i absolutely love the song sillouettes..and i will request it as much as i can...u guys need to come perform in california...in orange or anehiem or sumthin...well im gunna go but have a great day derek...im out...later

The Silouhettes video is going to kick ass. Sloths are some cool animals but I like pandas much more, sorry Derek. The Other Side is my favorite song, it would be a great single.

<3 Kelley

************************************************************ Just 2 get your Attention***
WHat's up guys? Um... If it means anything I think the next single should be "Therepy." Many, many, many people can and will relate to that song.

My guitar lessons are going so great. I can strum the chorus to "Yellow Submarine." Okay, so it's just switching from a G to a D that's still great for me!

My lil' brother wants to be drummer. He's always pounding away on the dang kitchen table and walls and well, Everything! He's gonna be a good drummer, I can tell. He looks up to you, Derek.

Just out or curiousity, is there any other bands that inspire you guys, besides Nirvana? You guys are my idols and well, I wonder who you guys look up to.

Gotta go, I'll be posting more next time.

Much Love,
STephanie

Hey guys, I was so psyched to hear Silhouettes on the radio - it's my favorite song. You guys rock, you're great with arrangements and I love your lyrics.

A sloth, huh? Fact about sloths: It's so slow that mold grows on it. ...Weird.

Anyway, I'm planning to take a couple of my buds to the Rave when you guys come to Milwaukee. It's gonna be so awesome! As for the next single, I'd go with The Other Side or This is War... Hmm... or maybe With this Knife... too many good songs! Can't wait for the Silhouettes vid, by the way!

Love ya.

Hey!! im glad yall are @ home and have a few days to relax! :) you guys are so great! well have fun making the video for "Silhouettes" i know it will be great! well hope to see yall soon!:cough:whenever yall come back to atlanta:cough: =]

helloo
i wrote a while ago too see if you guys were playing in new jeresy and i guess now i see your not... which makes me veryy sad... iv seen you once before and u guyz deff rock live! its just not very nice that radio stations say ur gonna play a sertian night when ur not... i lost my job 2 months ago n i spent the last of my money on those tix =(
as for ur next single i think it should be ither " all my problems" or " your way" i like the message that not everyone goes the conventional way ... im starting school for audio engineering soon... i want to be a producer... and my parents think its a big joke .. cuz you know music isnt a serious career path and all.... or so they say ... well u guyz made it in music so why cant i right? i dunno all ur music is amzing.... u boys rockk
hopefully i get a new job so i can come to ur show when u come neer NY =)

SMILE EMPTY SOUL ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHATTUP PPL? just sittin here freezing my ass off in cold ass massachusetts!!!!! SES IS THE FUCKIN ILLEST!!!! SEE U GUYS IN WORCESTER, PROVIDENCE, MAINE, AND ALBANY!!!!! that's right...i'm so obsessesd i'm goin to four shows in one month!!!! SES FOREVER BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wassup??? So you guy seriously should release Eraser for your next single! A)It's a kick ass song, B)It's a harder rock song that I think will do good at grabbing new fans and make it a good radio song, C)It's just AWESOME!!! But anyways....I gotta admit that I'm a little upset that you guys are playing at Earthday Birthday here in Orlando. Mainly because I am going to have to risk my life to get close to the stage to see you guys because there will be over 10,000 people there I'm sure. You guys should seriously do a headlining tour next! You have soooo many fans now and I'm dying to see a whole set from you guys! (3 songs at Buzz Bake Sale in West Palm didn't cut it for me) Well good luck on touring the next couple of months and especially on the airplane flights! I hate flying, I don't know how you do it. Have fun at the video shoot! :)

I think the next single should be The Other Side. I am in love with that song. I know what it is like to want to be somewhere, anywhwere as long as its not home. It also shows how good Sean is as a song writter (I love every song). So please let The Other Side be the one you guys pick.

Forever your Fan,
Katie

HEY DEREK! I was kinda disappointed you did not answer my question about "TK" we have this bet at work...lol. I wanna win. Email me at SATownGirl70602@yahoo.com. Anyways. I think your next single should be "with this knife"...it is an amazing song. It reminds me of my ex. He comes in and out of my life every couple months. I have changed my number and all and somehow he ends up talking to me...I love him but it is like we can't be together because we just end up hurting each other...but i love that song. WRITE ME BACK!!! Thanks, AsH

Hey Derek! Yah, Kim's band stuff I hope will work out! Thanks for responding! you r the best!As for song, I'll have to get back to you on that. Seriously listen close then judge. I love the whole album. VEry intense lyrics. I went to Fountains of Wayne last night. Fun stuff! I love music that u don't have to think about sometimes. But of course, they talk about all the places in and around NYC and I get hooked! WAs a fun night. BTW, I also heard from your cousin DJ. They are in the UK right now, having a good time selling out shows. Kinda like u guys! I can't wait till the show May 4th! I didn't get to see Trapt the last time they were here. I'm so excited! There are so many good shows coming up this next month it's sick tho. Better Than Ezra, The STrokes, 3Days Grace among them. Plus a kickin' local band is having their CD release party there. BTW, if u guys want a homecooked meal that day if u don't get in too late, let me know and I'll hook u up. We could grill steaks or I could make a good ziti! Altho the ziti wouldn't be good before the show because you'll feel all fat and satisfied!LOL!SEriously, tho.Email me if u want to do that. DncnDenise@aol.com I promise I've never killed anyone with food.ok. I gotta go. This pneumonia has got to go! Have to take my drugs! TTYS

SNOCORE TOUR IS GOING TO KICK A**!!.. im going.. and i got like 6 of my friends to go with me.. see u March 19.. CANT WAIT!!

Hey Ya'll!
It's Candice. Dude if your crew is still in ATL tell them to go to Park Bench in Buckhead. I just started working there. I'm so pumped about it, last night I made what I make an hour at Abercrombie in like seriouslly 2 minutes.I'm waitresing and bartending. It's so neat because I'm like the first girl bartender they've had. Cool job...you get to meet alot of really interesting people. Speaking of interesting people...Derek...I hate to meet a person that I find unique and that I enjoy talking to and not ever getting to talk to them again. Thats so crappy.I have several friends that I've met in the most random places that I still talk to. I know it was weeks ago and it maybe was just chit-chat to you but I think of the conversation that we had often.(I'm so not a psycho please don't think that)I'm always so long winded...I just wanted you to know that I really enjoyed talking to you and I wish we could do it again sometime.Ya'll take care and stay safe.

Abby is now jamin to some "Nowhere Kids" yesterday im taking her to Tunnel Town for here birthday party and she starts singing, i look back and she hids her head like she is embarrased, but hey she loves to pretend to play drums and she asked her grandpa to buy her some so maybe you guys could use a little drumer ha!

I'll be in L.A. (for the first time ever!) to visit my friend Cathy (who lives in Korea Town, BTW) from May 20-27. You guys are playing that week and we'll be there. I'm nervous though b/c I bought floor tickets (i assume that's what lower level means) and I haven't done that since high school . . . :-/ ANYWAY, I'm EXCITED! I'm going to try to catch a Fractional show out there, too. So, D-REKS, let me know if you want to catch up after the show. And Jessie, congrats on your new job! That's FANTASTIC!

Has anyone ever seen this?
http://sweet.as/junk/media/endoftheworld.swf
i never thought sad and funny could happen at the same time!

what up guys. this is billy. heh after u guys left sara was needing a ride to her car back at juanitas so i gave her a ride. then she wanted to go eat at shorty smalls in north little rock so i had her follow me out there. sara kicks ass. shes best friends with one of my fav bands Pimpadelic out of texas. sara if u read this WWEJD. lol what would easy jesus do? lol heh anyhow the show u guys played at juanitas ruled. that was the best crowd and mosh pit ive seen at juanitas. people here in little rock dont react that way to bands anymore in club shows. that was cool. ill be seeing u guys march 31 st in russelville. sara told me finger eleven would also be there. damn i wish i can get the chance to meet them. ive loved that band since the album Tip. they rule. Trapt is gonna rck too. I heard some other band also was gonna be there. any idea who it might be? anyhow see you guys when u get back to arkansas. I am also gonna try to drive to catch another one of the other shows out of state. road trip style. hehe anyhow u guys rule. keep the music real. -Billy Tucker- P.s. sorry i didn't get to buy you that brew chuck. i'll catch up with u later on that one. there was too many people and things happeneing at once and i had to get home to gt up at 5am to go back to work at 6am. oh well it was way worth the lack of sleep. thanks so much for letting me see them live it really sucked i couldn't goto that first show. lates

Um... Hi... I was watchin Fuse and I saw your video for Nowhere Kids.. I really like it.. It "touched" me.. This is probably gonna sound incredibly stupid but um.. lol.. I dont know how to word this.. Lol.. I really think I wanna be a singer.. Im good too... Im starting to play the guitar.. Im pretty good for a beginner.. But singing is what I really wanna do.. I understand that its hard work and I cant give up... I know it comes with stuff thats not so easy to deal with.. And I know I can do it.. I want it so bad.. And if I got to where I wanna be I would be abe to touch ppl in ways that you guys do... Every morning I wake up and all I can think about is singing... I dont know how to get started.. I have tried alot of diff stuff but I keep hitting dead ends.. If you could give me some advice... Id really appreciate it.. Alot.. So e-mai me or something soon.. Let me know.. Luv yas

Hey! What's up? I just got a thing on the forum and I am so confused on wut to do!! How do I view other ppls posts and how do I put a graphic in my profile?? But anyway. You guys are so awesome. Your like my freakin idol. I am trying to learn how to play the guitar so I can start a band but it's rele hard! I have already written like 10 songs and I would rele like to sing them and make the tunes and wut not. I listen to your album like non-stop. My life is rele goin downhill rite now and I dont know wut to do to stop it so I just go off in my own lil world (my room) and listen to your cd. It helps and most all of your songs relate to me. I can't wait to see your video for sillouettes. I rele like the one for nowhere kids. It was pretty cool. But you guys are so cool and have fun touring! Hopefully someday if I ever start my band I can go on tour and wut not.. I dunno just an ambision. Keep on keepin on!!!

>

Hey, guys! Hope you're enjoying the rain like I am. I think the next single should be "The Other Side" for obvious reasons. A lot of kids can relate to that song and people who don't normally like your music are going to be drawn to that song. It's your best bet. I bet you guys could come up with an awrsome treatment for the video, too. Much love. Come play a hometown show soon! It'll be crazy for sure!

Your #1 fan in Santa Clarita,

NOW, maybe you will read it...anyway, I noticed that there was a girl who got a Smile tattoo...I got my Smile tattoo about three weeks ago and am dying to show you guys. It finally healed, it took FOREVER! It is pretty big (takes up the whole bottom part of my back) so it took it a while to heal, but it looks great now. I can't wait for you guys to see it. I would love to see Sean's tattoos up close...your sleeve looks bad ass!
I am so excited you guys are coming to Earthday Birthday in Orlando, that should be a kick ass show. You guys are playing w/Puddle again so that will be awesome. I have seen you guys twice w/them and it seems you guys have a great time together. I am also going to head up to Jacksonville that next week to see you up there. I saw you there w/Puddle at the beginning of Feb. and it was an awesome venue. (I actually talked to you about my tattoo then Derek). I would love the chance to hang out w/you guys at one of these shows...anyway, I think your next single should be Eraser or Therapy. Although, I love All My Problems as well, and Radio in a Hole...I just can't decide! Have a great time making the new video, can't wait to see it:) Later guys,
Jenni C

Love,

!~*Britney*~!

Eraser should definatly be your next Single...I love that song.

My initial pick for the next single would be "For You". It's radio friendly and could be a crossover success. Next I thought "This is War" since the first three tracks were singles it was only logical for track four to fall in line. I finally picked "Eraser". It's one of the most powerful songs on a CD without any weak links. Hope to see you guys soon in Flint.

hey hey hey hey wats up guys? i looooove the song the other side its worth every minute i spend listenin to it...which is about 24/7. i cant wait till april...u guys r comin to jaxsonville! YESSS! im sooo friggn going...cept my parents r sooo strict. but i dont care wut they say i feel like i HAVE to go...it gives me sumthn to look forward too..then what? well anyway guys keep on doin what ya do best ..cya!! luv, bri

hey, YOU GUYS KICK ALL ASS!!!!!!!! YOU ARE MY FAVORITE BAND!!! hell yeah!!! so do you guys play good live?? i wanna see ya at the snocore tour!!! on march 6th up at the palladium. maybe. anwyas SILHOUETTES IS A GREAT NEXT SINGLE!!!!! I LOVE THAT SONG!!! ;)

Hey guys,
how ya doing? Its raining today,why does it always rain when someone dies? Its weird.I think the next single should be the otherside. Thats a great song..or all my problems that one is kick ass!Wow its been 4 days without sleep.How long did that guy live...who broke the record of no sleep?was it 8 days? I hope I will sleep soon.Maybe some meds will work.Derek your Favorite animal is the sloth? Mine 2. There so cool,how slow they are and moldy.Its awesome!!!Ryan how are you doing?Sean are you feelimng better yet?Well i hope so.Im gonna go now.
Much Love &
Later Days

Waz up! Just got a new drum set. My parents are probably going insane and about to go deaf any day now. Even when they're outside they can here me. Still no complaints.Just got a new e-mial address and screen name. So when I'm not listening to the radio, CD's, or playin the drums I'm on the computer. You dudes totaly got me brainwashed.

Hey guys! It's really great you guys are coming back to the Bluenote after the tour bus incident. I'm thinking about going to the Snocore show at the Bluenote. If I go it will have been the 3rd time. I have a picture with Sean and the bassist from your first show at the bluenote. I was going to get another picture at the last show but you guys decided you didn't want to hang out with us missourians. I'll put the pic on my webpage and you guys can come check it out. How old are you guys and when are your birthdays? Mines friday I'll be a whole 19. So exciting...I'm getting soooo old..haha

Hey guys its Sarah. Guess what? Today is 1 month of not doing drugs for me! I'm clean....YAAAAAY! I quit because Bottom of a bottle was so right....I needed to find something else to get me high...like life, and I DID!!!!! -lol- Yippie! lol. love ya! bye

Hey guys
yeah sloths are weird animals and pandas are cute.You guys are coming to Maine where I live and I'm going to see you hell or high water.I've tries to leave you some love but my computer is frigged up and I just hope it works this time...Take it easy and enjoy your break :):):)
love Autumn

Like everyone else on here...im a true fan...:) And it makes me feel so much better that not only did your cd make so much sense and i totally feel it but going to the message boards and stuff, there are so many ppl out there that have either been there or are going through it. and its nice to know that there are others there for you. i have never heard a cd like this that touched me so deeply. the other side and with this knife are the ones that just got me through alot of soulsearchin. I grew up in an abusive home and so i tended to find myself in relationship that went that way...i eventually found myself pregnant with a guy that i was with for a very long time...and i so wanted it to be different, so i made the choice to leave him...it was the hardest decision i have ever made and im still tryin, but although i still love my daughters father..i dont have to fear my daughter will have to live like that. and even though this was my other side...its so hard because now im a single mother to a one yr old and making sure i dont end up with someone abusive again. i thank you guys so much for bein so awesome and coming out with some awesome songs.
p.s. i c there alot of fans that are crazy about sean...but im all about derek...woo hoo...hottie alert...lol c yall soon when your in jacksonville,florida....love yall to the end

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think you should do either "for you" or " "therpay" both songs are really good! and i cant wait to see the video!! i hate this thing i have been wantin to write in a comment but it wont let me my computer is tooo slow!!!! it takes forever to load. annyway.........i have been askin alot of ppl if they would give me a ride to jacksonville on 4/27 so i can go see you guys in concert but no one will take me! :(.. my brother told me to take a bus there im thinkin about it but i dont know how i am goin to tell them or how their even goin to take it. lol. mabe i shouldnt tell them..idk. but i really wanna go!!! i know my parents would freak if i went without them knowin but it would be worth it. so i guess sean is feelin better. im glad! im not im sick and it sucks! ok well im gonna go love you guys A LOT!!!!!!!! ill come and talk later.

Hey. My vote for the poll on the next single is "Other Side" I think it could help a few kids. It really makes you think about your life and if it's all that bad, I love it. Everytime I think I found one song that I like more than the others, I find another. Your CD kicks ass, best one in a long, long time. I love Pandas too, how cool. Anyways, I'm sure the video will come out great, I can't wait anymore! Hope to hear from you soon! <33JenMarie*

OK GUYS I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS........OK RYAN WHICH KIND OF BASS DO YOU RECOMMEND? AND HOW MANY STRINGS 4 OR 5? SEAN...HOW MANY FREITS DO YOU PREFERE 20 OR 24? SORRY DEREK I DON'T REALLY HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU!!! WELL I HOPE YOU ALL LIKE YOU J.O.O SHIRTS.... BUT WHICH COLOR WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE BLACK...GREY...WHITE? OK I HAVE MESS TO DEAL WITH
~~~LOVE ALWAYS~~~~

I think your next single should be Every Sunday. You guys were supposed to have a concert here (in Madison WI) March 1 with Puddle of Mudd. But the last time I checked for tickets, they changed it to Instruction. I was just wondering which bands you guys listen to?

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

I DIDNT MEAN TO DO THAT! :)

Hey guys! I like Therapy, but for your next single it should most definetly be Eraser!!! That song kicks ass!!!!! It reminds me so much of my husband and his dad! Their relationship is not the best in the world and the song describes them to a T. It's nice to know that not everyone's life is as rosey as they paint it.

yu guys fuckin rock! but im sure yu already kno this....say hey 2 everyone 4 me an Tiff.....specially Josh who i heard can't come on tour cus of lack of $$$ or sumthin =( but ne ways hopefully we'll be able 2 go 2 the show at Bogarts March 16th, cus yur music is badass n yu guys r cool as hell n we need 2 chill again. ight well i gots ta go so i'll c yu dudes later.....Keep doin wut yur good at an stay real

hey derek:

just wanted to say thanks for mentioning me and my b-day in ya'lls journal it ment alot. i'm really excited about the new video sillouettes cant wait to see it. glad to hear that your plane trip went well and hope ya'll enjoyed being in texas, the weather here is really starting to suck in corpus christi it's a little grey today and windy but i guess that's mother nature for you. i'm looking foward to seeing ya'll in spring, tx with trapt. as far as your next single goes i can't really decide between therapy and the other side because i really love both of those songs but i also love the whole cd so maybe you could pick for me. n*e*ways gotta go for now.

luv ya

nancy
texas girl

ps. ya'll rock and don't get to wet.

WOW WHAT THE FUCK UP THIS MY FIRST TIME WRITING A COMMENT.I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT YOU SNOCORE TOUR ITS GOING TO BE GREAT AND I BET YOU GUYS WILL MAKE HEADLINE.I'M IN SCHOOL TRYING NOT TO GET CAUGHT TYPING THIS AND ITS WORKING OUT PRETTY GOOD SO FAR, BUT I JUST COULDN'T WAIT TILL I GOT HOME TO COMMENT.G2G GOT CAUGHT.

People SUCK sometimes, i hate it when parents do not belive in thier kid! What the fuck, "hey mom and dad im in a band and im really good at the drums i hope i become big someday!" Mom/dad: "Your never gonna get big, your not good enough, quit dreaming and get a life." Lots of my friends parents are such assholes and give thier kids no motavation or hope. I feel so bad for them becasue thier are only a few of those kids who say screw what everyone else says im gonna do what i wanna do and i will make it happen for myself, but then thier are those kids who say "im a loser, im never gonna be anything, i suck blah blah." and i feel bad for those kids. But i know for a fact i am never gonna do that with Abby, she loves to sing and pretend to play drums and she says she is going to be a drumer/doctor when she grows up and i say go for it Abby whatever you wanna be! When i was 15 i got a contract to model and i went to florida to train but abby couldnt go so i stayed and quit the modeling all togther for her and i sacraficed what could of been alot of money and a dream come true but i would of rather been with abby then getting pictures taken! The point of that is some paretns suck and im not gonna screw my kid like some of them, i just hope other paretns whether they are teens or adults they better be ready for thier life to be 100% thier kids life! Anyway thanks for listening to me vent i was pissed of at abbys dad for doing stupid shit and i had to get that out, you guys rock and i hope someday i can meet you if not the cd is all need, bye guys Jessie

hey guys! i just wanted to say that i love your music, it's so inspirational... i came across your cd at walmart.. haha.. i was jammin to it.. all into the music.. then, i hear a bunch of pauses where your voice just goes away... yea, i was pretty pissed when i found out it was the edited version.. i wasn't even thinking... well, im so hyped that you are comming to youngstown, OH! when i found out, i started screaming... i looked like an ass... but oh well... i can't wait to see you guys perform...

HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY BOYZ!!!

I was upset to find out that after I bought tickets to see you at bogarts on 2/23/04 that you would not be playing with puddle of mud.(which I had gotten as a birthday present cause I wanted to see you!) They were good I just wished I would have been able to see you guys too. So,last night after I got home from the concert I bought tickets for 3/16/04 and I an so excited that you will be there! I would love to here personally from you guys!

Sincerely,
Laura

luv ya,
kelsey(#1 st.louis fan!)

hey derek! i can't wait for sillouettes, nowhere kids is a great video, and im sure sillouettes will be awsome too! If you do go on your own headlining tour PLEASE make sure you come to Boston cuz i dont think i can make it to the snowcore show... its my friend Sarah's birthday party and i should be there... damnitt... oh well. I think your next single should be "therapy" or "the otherside" a lot of people can relate to "therapy" and i like the message "the otherside" gives. But all of your songs are amazing so whatevr you pick will be GREAT! A sloth is certianly an intersting favorite mammal.... i think they're ugly but they are interested... well whatever floats your boat! i have to say though life is good rigth now! my sister is walking after 2 extensive surgeries on her hip (she broke it) and it's been two years since she has walked!!! my family is so excited! Derek what kind of dog do you have? Because i am getting a golden retriever in april... i cant wait! well i will talk to you later xoxox
~caitlin

i ment to say interesting insead of interested unfortunatley in not so good at typeing or spelling... im glad you are though derek! hehe ttyl much love
~caitlin (again)

hello guys

i can't wait till you guys headline a tour. Just promise me you will come to nebraska. I want to see you guys more then any other band. the first time i saw you guys in concert it totally rocked. hey and if you are in nebraska and have some free time you can always come hang out with me. that would be the coolest thing ever. and if you need any help at your show just let me know. i would do anything to help you guys out. well keep on rocking i can't wait to see the new video.

Hey guys, just wanted to say that you rock!!! I saw you guys on the 16th in El Paso, TX. Damn, you guys kicked major ass!!!! I loved the show. Me and my friend were psyched that you guys were coming to El Paso. Hope to see you guys again soon and I can't wait for Sillouettes!!!!! The next single should be "Your Way" or "Therapy" those are my favorites right now. :-)KEEP ROCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Derek!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I get to see ya'll at the show on the 6th at the paladium... i saw you at locobazooka and you guys kicked ass and you signed my stomach...(haha don't worry I don't expect you to remember!) But you guys are just amazing!!! My friend was like staring at you in awe, and was like wow i wish i could play the drums like that guy, i finally had to tell him to stop staring, but seriously you should be so proud. Ive played piano since i was three and anyone with enough passion and talent like you just makes me smile. seriously though you have so much support here in massachusetts with the local bands. Well good luck with everything, I hope you guys get out to the east coast some more! Again you are just amazing and so cool to your fans, thanks for signing my stomach you like made my week!

MORE ABOUT MAMMALS:

So anyway...I just wanted to say that I love you guys and you definatly should headline your own tour and COME BACK TO SPRINGFIELD! I've seen you guys three times and your my favorite band.

hey again...i was just reading though other peoples replies and i saw that Sean said that he had nothing to live for. every song that Sean has written (even the one's not on the cd: like meaningless and rain) has touched me and my boyfriend Neal in every way possible. Neal wants to be exactly like Sean...he even has the same hair cut! when you guys came through town, we had been waiting outside for like 5 hours to see you again for the 3rd time (we were the second people in line!). when the big security guys came and put up those signs saying that you weren't playing we didn't believe it...until you guys came and said so. we left after that. Neal cried as soon as he saw Sean cause he's such a big fan...your his justin timberlake and he's your eight year old girl...

KELSEY AND NEAL LOVE SEAN!

COME TO NOVA SCOTIA !!!!!

*begs* pretty please.

I forgot...
I cant wait till the fucking video for Sillouettes comes out. Its my boyfriends favorite song off the album. I think you should make a video for This Is War because that song is so wicked.
anyways I'm on the phone so c ya

you guys are awesome... i'm pushing my way to the front at the concert...

~Bernadette

Hey, I seen you guys in Galveston on V-Day. I met Derek YAY. You signed my cup. I'm the one that had blue and black hair. You said you were thinking about doing yours like mine. Anyway. You guys are so awesome!

The Sillouettes video should be wicked awsome. I was at the show in Fayetteville on the 20th. The Fayetteville show was tight, just off the hook. SICK. Thanks for comin'. But the next single should be "All my Problems" or "Therapy"

Again, the Fay. show was amazing! THANKS

BTW:
Ryan : the dreds were looking good
Sean : I was diggen' the "Puddle of Mudd" T-shirt

Hey y'all, I just looked on the Tour page, and man y'all have to come to hawaii and rock out!! We're in need of some real good music..haha..we do get bands coming here..especially last year and this year..but they're mostly "pop-punk" (I'm not trying to label them or generalize!!), but ya know what I mean..so yeah..get down here and rock out !! :P \m/

On another note..I'm sure the Sillouettes vid will totally kick man, just as the other two did (I've got 'em both on my computer and I've watched 'em quite a bit). Anyways, y'all are awesome..and take what I said (about the coming here to play) into consideration! Muchos love!

hey everyone whats up? not a lot here i am just sittin here in school bein bored off my fuckin ass. im listenin to nowhere kids right now, its a cool song. neway i think that your new single should be with this knife, for you, i want my life, or the other side. those are my fav songs off the album that havent been released. i like them cuz i can relate to them, especially with this knife.i just got out of relationship and the girl hates me but in a way i still care for her and i wish that i didnt so i can relate to that song. and the other songs are just badass. well im gonna split if you guys have some time email me

I think you should get all of your songs on the raido cause they are all great!!!!!!!! And im still going to the Ziggys concert so see ya 2/28!!!!!!!!!!

With lots of love

I can't believe you sold the truck Derek! The Dakota rocked! I hope you don't get another Honda. Hope the shoot went well. Cya...Paul

heyy guys this is my third time posting!... you asked what we thought your next single should be and i DEFINATELY think it should be I Want My Life!! its my favorite song ever...! and ive been practicing it on the guitar alot lately and i almmost have it perfect!!... im starting to really get upset because right now i live in southern jersey and my parents have everything setup and im moving to Ocoee florida the week after easter. this is very stressful for me because i am so nervous i wont make friends and ill be alone for the rest of my life... but i hope thats not how its gonna be... but one good thing about moving to florida is ill probably get to see you guys in concert more often! yay!... well im gonna go bye<3!

hey guys..im really excited bout sillouettes, its gonna do great.i think that ur next single after that should definaatly be "your way" its really easy to relate to and everyone in the orlando area loves it...we cant wait till ya come to hob in orlando again, ur missed. anyway see ya in jacksonville march 27, and on arpil 25 at earth day birthday, its gonna kick ass

Will you come visit me in when you go to tour Jacksonville, FL. That is if you even remember the fact that we were buddies Sean. It's been a while, but I have a face that will match up with the name. Send me mail kid, we haven't talked in forever. Oh yeah, this isn't a little annoying fan letter if u ignore me I compeltely understand, but I am just checking to make sure your happy and safe.

CHECK THIS OUT . . . this is probably one of the most intersting things I've learned in school in a looooong while: Banisteriopsis and Psychotria is a hallucinogenic concoction better known as ayahuasca and is extensively used in South American tribal villages. All hallucinogens have universal geometric constants. The ONLY other hallucinogenic universal constant is the one caused by the B&P cocktail: EVERYONE who takes this nasty drug sees nightmarish visions of cats, birds of prey and reptiles. WHY? B&P is somehow able to penetrate into the part of the brain that stores instinctual information and humans instictively fear these animals. WHY? Our favorite ancestors were tree-dwelling primates and those animals were their predators; therefore, that info. is instinct we are all born with. Which is why those are the only three animals that appear in the hallucinations. Ladies and gentlemen, that is CRAZY COOL!

You know, when I listen to your music it is like my only escape from the reality of life and the stupid people that run it. I have saved myself from so many mistakes by just pushing play on my cd player. When I hear "With this Knife" I feel like you wrote it about my life. Please don't ever stop making music, you have no idea who it affects and how many lives it saves. People are so narrow minded and too caught up on themselves to understand, but you actually seem to. Thank you

whats up guys

I think the number of Smile Empty Soul fans has grown a great deal. There are too many fans named "Stephanie!" Gahhh!!! Therefore I will be known now as:

"The one who smiles; formerly known as Stephanie"

Beautiful... err... a bit long...

"The one who smiles"

Lovely.

Does HTML work on these things I wonder?
I Love Smile Empty Soul
Heck no, it doesn't! GAHH!!

Oh yeah, THerepy needs to be the next single! Or Eraser. The Other Side and For You are all great songs but people also like the fast best songs, ya know what I'm sayin'?

The whole CD rocks and is quite beautiful actually, it doesn't matter, They're all too good to choose just one! GAHHH!!! MY Mind can't take the idea of having to choose just...ONE!!!

By The Way... I see all these people saying they're "SES number 1 fan" or whatever...

well, I'm not saying I'm "Number 1 fan." but I'm a GREAT FAN!!
BWHAHAHAHA
Originality sticks out once again!!!!

Hi guys today i was down in the dumps and sort of pissed off at my best friend.But then after work i went for a walk.Put on my Cd player with my head phones.Listend to your cd.Been in a better mood since then.That's why i love music so much.It can help me relax more.Thanks again for the music.Plus for being allmost as cool to me as Todd Zeile .If you have no clue who Todd is.Todd is a former Hart High Grad and major league baseball player.But this is his last year in baseball ugh that sucks.

Hey guyz Whats uo hope the shoot is going well so im sure the sillohetts video will be a hit it will go straight to #1, I recently lost my grandfather this past september he died 4 days before my birthday and i listen to your album and the songs describe exactly how i feel like for example the song "all my problems" really described the way i felt at the time i just wanted to thank you guys for writing music and saving the music industry, i just wanted to thank you guys for being down to earth and keep it real with your fans i admire that beyond words

Well, Derek Sean Ryan i love you guys hope you come by murray again soon, love ya

Hey! Remember me I'm the one who can't go to any of your shows b/c my mom's messed up in the head and b/c I live in the middle of Alabama! I haven't been allowed on the computer lately so I haven't been able to work on any of the assignments on the street team. But one of these days I will be allowed back on! (by the way I'm at school at the moment is why i can come on right now) I think that SES should come to Ft. Walton or Panama City. Or even maybe to Alabama! Love you guys! Have a nice time on the Snowcore tour!

Hey Derek its snowing out here in charlotte and its really irritating b/c you show at winston salem is so close to where i live but i cant go now because of all this DAMN SNOW i wish i could sprout wings so i could fly there.

MISS YOU LOTS

hmm I would like to see other side be the next single after sillouettes.

You guys a one kick ass band. Your music is inspiring and has helped me through some very hard time. I dont mean to sound like a cliche but its just the truth! and you guys are so down to earth which makes you even more of a greater band, in my eyes any way.

Come back to Iowa and toad hoaller again! Best concert I have seen yet, maybe you guys can even stick around for the fight nights?

Any ways you guys rock and continue to stay real - Alyssa

why does god not care about people?

Derek just a quick ?
Did you know that in simple plans vidio there a SES posters on the wall i just noticed it, well i geuss when i say just it means like a month ago but whatever. so just wanted you to know it was pretty cool to see my fav. bands posters.

You guys are so inspiring. I love listening to your music. I'm looking forward to starting a band. I try to promote you as much as I can. I just got a guitar and I'm working on learning how to play.I catch a lot of shit for being a girl and playing guitar. I just don't care. I'm gonna play if its the last thing I do. I don't know about anyone else but your music helps me get through the day. You guys are incredible. Unfortunately I can't catch you guys on tour. It makes me really sad that I can't see you live. Hopefully I will see you when you come back. Can't wait to see the new vid. I'm sure it's great! Keep rockin'!!!!

Lots of love,

hey babe.. my name is lilly and im 14. i love in new orleans louisiana and i just wanted to write too yall for a bit while i had time. one of my good friend died sunday february 22nd.. the wake was mardi gras day (tuesday) and the funeral was ash wednesday. his name was daniel scott mcintosh. eventhought he looked older, he was only 14. his birthday was april 30th. there were over 500 people that went to see him at the wake and at the funeral itself. its been really hard for everyone to cope with the fact that he is gone and how much he ment to us. what happened was that he was riding a 4 wheeler with a girl and one of his friends. right as he was turning, he turned around to see where andrew (the friend) was and he ended up loosing control. he ran into a mailbox and flew into a tree. andrew caught up to him and tired giving him CPR but daniel was already dead. andrew had blood all over him from trying to save daniel. the girl that was with him, fell of the back. she broke her nail. no bruises, cuts, nothing.. if you guys could pray for him and his family i would really appreciate it. hopefully ill get to write to yall later.. gotta jet.. maroon 5 concert. your music is amazing.. keep up the good work.

hey you guys!! its keren again. i havent written a lot latley but i got really sick!!! i have a fever and it sucks i feel like my head is goin to fall off!! i still think it should be either "therapy" or "for you". i like those songs alot. but anyother song would be great too. i was wonderin.. when is the video goin to come out?? i really want to know so i can be ready to watch it.... im still tryin to find a ride to the concert on april 27.... well im goin to leave cuz i think im goin to go to sleep i dont feel well at all..
PS. i hope you guys have been readin my comments i never know if you guys have are not cuz there is always soo many on here that it just makes me wonder..lol. i have no life i have nothin else to think about lol.

Hey SES,
This is my 1st time writing here but I just wanted to tell you that you guys rock. My sister Nancy took me to the SES/POM concert here in Corpus for an early b-day gift and it kicked a$$.

Lisa A.

Hey guys i just wanted to say that i really appreciate your music and it helped me through the worst time in my life, i listen to it everyday and its pretty much the only cd i really listen to anymore. I love the sound of your guitars. I can really connect with ur music. I read every thing i can about and i listened to you guys on livewire when u said about the guy coming upto u and sayin "i do it for the drugs too". but oh well, somepeople will just never understand music and what it means. Are u guys ever coming to Madison. I really hope u do or someplace near there. My favorite song is "For You". i connected with that song in so many ways
