@at_zaine: Did you know that the Jimmy Eat World song “Hear You Me” and the song “Mykel & Carli” by Weezer were both inspired by the same people? Sisters, Mykel & Carli Allen, who were big fans and supporters of the band and eventually became friends with the bands inspired the song. The bands wrote the songs as tribute after the sisters passed away in 1997 heading to a Weezer show. #jimmyeatworld #weezer #songfacts #behindthesong #DidYouKnow
How have I never heard the song Mykel and Carli before. Thanks for the backstory. Love Hear You Me.

Not only that, but they’d also offer lodging to the bands when they came into Mykel and Carli’s hometown, which is what the lyrics “there’s no one in town I know, you gave us someplace to go”

My mom was friends with them, there were actually 3 sisters in the car that all passed, but the third one wasn't in the fan club so is hardly ever mentioned. Their parents lots three daughters that night. 😢

I got backstage passes from Mykel and Carli back in 1994, after meeting them at the Weezer show. They were so awesome, friendly and kind. Teenage Fanclub and That Dog opened up for Weezer in Tempe Arizona. Wonder years level memories!

I had Hear You Me playing on repeat on my phone while I sat with my dad after he passed. I was really comforted by the idea of angels leading my dad in

Thats why the song hits so hard, it's real. I can't listen to Hear you Me anymore unless I'm okay with sobbing for a while. It makes me think about my late husband and my 13 year old son I lost last year. I've always loved that whole album, my husband actually bought it for me when we were first dating, but when they played this at Warped Tour in DC I had to just sit down and cry for a while, at this point I'm fine with breaking down anywhere though, lol.

The first time I ever heard Hear You Me as teen, it made me so emotional and I cried, it was one of the first times I can remember being so overcome with emotion on the first time hearing it. I didn't know why, at the time I hadn't experienced any significant heavy loss, but I felt it. I remember looking up the song and finding out what it was written about, and sat down and cried again

I could be wrong, but I swear they like housed Jimmy Eat World while touring before, like something fell through and the band had nowhere to stay? I remember hearing that before. One of my favorite songs, but heartbreaking ❤️🩹

Saw Jimmy Eat World last Friday on the actual 25th year anniversary of Bleed American. Jim told this story, sang Hear You Me and he was pretty emotional singing it. It was pretty special.

It’s sad yet beautiful because it’s so hard to be loved like this in this world especially if you’re not a certain body type, background, money status, etc.
