Bio of The Academy Is... “We want to move people… to impact in them the same way we’ve been affected through music.” The Academy Is…almost never was. Frontman William Beckett and guitarist Mike Carden grew up as rivals, in separate bands on the Chicago local music scene. William eventually left his band, wanting to take music more seriously and looking for someone who shared his passion. Mike’s band broke up also and the two gradually found themselves talking more and more; engulfed in amazing conversations about music. After realizing they were very much alike, they decided to try their hand at writing songs together and The Academy Is…was born. William and Mike share a love of the classics - Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, U2. These elements, along with eclectic More... (Submit New The Academy Is... Lyrics) (Submit New The Academy Is...

I'm sure that's exactly what they want. It keeps interests high. And needless to say, they're impressive performers. Going to see them on Warped, and I saw them with FOB on the Honda Civic tour. =) I love them for the music they make and the brilliance of the band itself. HEY | Reviewer: hannah ------ About the song Mayonnaise performed by The Academy Is... just so you know this song is by the Smashing Pumpkins and NOT by The Academy Is... This is a really great cover, found only on their myspace (to my knowledge anyway). Both versions are AMAZING, this song is just brilliant. check it out! These lyrics = LOVE. | Reviewer: Shaye-Baye ------ About the song Down And Out performed by The Academy Is... Lalala... As distracted as I am by all the people publicly dissing some of my all-time favorite bands on this page, I'm going to go ahead and focus my review on the TAI song "Down and Out" - which is what this space is for. I absolutely LOVE The Academy Is..., and William Beckett is without a doubt one of the most beautiful boys I have ever seen in my life. The lyrics to some of these songs are amazing... There are so many good lines in them. In this song, for example, I absolutely love the line "Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces". It's just so clever, and it's making a decent point, too. If you don't speak up when the time is right, it's going to tear you apart - and you could easily lose a friend. Or worse, you could lose yourself. So, yeah!! TAI = LOVE. agreed | Reviewer: VenomVILEnce ------ About the song LAX To O'Hare performed by The Academy Is... I'm gonna have to agree with foreverlive and cristal, though I haven't seen the interview they're talking about, it makes more sense that it's actually about the guilt of leaving your loved ones behind when traveling. beautiful | Reviewer: anonymous ------ About the song Everything We Had performed by The Academy Is... my ex sent me this, he told me this is how he felt about me when we were together and he still does. i listen to it every night<3 every line says something meaninful, its hard to find that these days. the academy is... | Reviewer: Lola ------ About the song Everything We Had performed by The Academy Is... This song is truly amazing. It makes me think about my relationship, and how much it means to me. The lyrics are purely amazing and touching, along with the melodies. TAI... did an amazing job, once again. I first listened to it when my and my boy were having an arguement, and it immediately changed me state of mind. It showed me how much my relationship means to me, and I'm grateful for that. It helped me through an arguement, and now me and my boy are fine. The message it sends is amazing, and they did a great job portraying it. "I'm with you wherever you go, through the eyes of a fly on the wall" is one of the lyrics that caught my attention a bit more than the others, but overall, the song is amazing. It made me realize how I would feel without my relationship, and gave me a new perspective. Thank you, The Academy Is... <3 Or did she ever really matter? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Slow Down performed by The Academy Is... I've completly love them but i hate that some many peopel suddenly say the love them when they could care less about the meaning or the talent. this band is soooooo talented. utterly in love with them. <3 some katie girl i agree with foreverlive | Reviewer: Cristal ------ About the song LAX To O'Hare performed by The Academy Is... I saw that interview, and i agree with you, its about leaving the ones you love to reach your dreams, but in that interview he also said he wrote the lyrics in a way that every person can interprete it in their own way in awe | Reviewer: courtney. <3 ------ About the song Everything We Had performed by The Academy Is... wow, this song is truly amazing. now, many of you may know what the song REALLY means but i personally think this song is about someone he'd lost, like a best friend, girlfriend, mother, etc. and you don't need to bash my opinions if they are "retarded" or my theory if it's wrong, because you'd be wasting your precious life. i love the lyrics, too. they are so deep and so raw with emotion it maddens me that someone could dislike it. it's an amazing song, and this band will be legend. course, they pretty much are... i <3 the academy is...! Fall Out Boy-ish | Reviewer: Alicia ------ About the song In Our Defense performed by The Academy Is... I LOVE The Academy Is... and Fall Out Boy is my FAVORITE band ever. This song is so awesome, but I musy say I didn't know who sang it for the longest. That does NOT sound like Beckett AT ALL. I was so shocked to learm that this was an Academy Is song. It sounds ALOT like Fall Out Boy, especially the lyrics they have PETE WENTZ written all over them. And Beckett even has a lil Patrick tone in this one. But it is very awesome. Good job TAI!! Learn The Facts, Honey. | Reviewer: Ally ------ About the song Everything We Had performed by The Academy Is... tkdxxxprincess, you're so wrong, it almost hurts to read your review. DX They said in concert once that the song was actually about a friend they lost. I wasn't there, but I had a friend that was and she told me about what they said. Besides, although the feelings that the band puts into their music is hugely important, the way it makes other people feel is definitely a prime factor in the quality as well. Well done, TAI... | Reviewer: Cait ------ About the song The Author performed by The Academy Is... In my opinion, the lyrics seem quite Charles Bukowsky-y, but somewhat more complex and with less profanity. The music itself almost reminds me of Texas is the Reason, or just early emo in general. Overall, it is a very good song. radd | Reviewer: katherine zombie<3 ------ About the song Slow Down performed by The Academy Is... i've been listening to this band since i was 16. & im almost 19. I really <3 them. but it bugs me so much that half of you claim to love the band but dont even take the time to listen to the lyrics or understand the meaning behind it. i love this song | Reviewer: music lover anonymous ------ About the song Black Mamba performed by The Academy Is... this is the song that first got me into TAI those 3 years ago... and i can't think enough wat would happen if i hadn't heard it!! TAI is my fave band, the best band ever, and this song is simply amazing! THANKS TAI!!! SANTI!!! great song | Reviewer: santi ------ About the song Pour Yourself Another Drink performed by The Academy Is... its a great song about having a conscience and life in a band. you see her, you want her, but you know next day you're in another city and you just can't make her wait for you. i like that it's not really a polished song on the "from the carpet" ep its like they wrote it and played it by way of an explaination. Everything We Had... | Reviewer: CONNiiEE.. ------ About the song Everything We Had performed by The Academy Is... I just absolutely love this song.. I just don't know why... I heard one song by them before... It was "We've Got A Big Mess On Our Hands" and when I saw the Vidoe for "Everything We Had" I just had to download it!! It's absolutely awesome... ;-) great | Reviewer: >cristal ------ About the song Everything We Had performed by The Academy Is... i just broke up with my bf, and i listened 2 the song and now i feel like it describes my life, i cried so much today, i used 2 think that ppl that cried with songs were stupid, but now i really know how it feels like The lyrics r awesome and The Academy Is... Awesome!! Awesome!! | Reviewer: cristal ------ About the song Down And Out performed by The Academy Is... The Academy Is... Great!! they r awesome and so r the lyrics, i think everyone has a different way 2 interpret the lyrics, i believe that it's about when the friendship turned 2 love, but with the years love is over and you realize that nothing lasts 4 ever and u gotta deal with it, cuz everybody changes Everything We Had | Reviewer: Lynn ------ About the song Everything We Had performed by The Academy Is... I def agree with basically everyone.
