"Say This Sooner" was the lead single from Southern Weather, the 2007 debut by The Almost, and it's Aaron Gillespie's show from end to end: he wrote the words and music, sang it and played the drums. Aaron Sprinkle produced and recorded it, David Bendeth mixed it, and the whole thing hurtles along on a bright, shout-along chorus. It became the band's biggest song, reaching No. 7 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, and most reviewers picked it out as one of the album's best, though at least one critic couldn't stand it.
Shane Drake directed the video, in which Gillespie finds a gadget in his bedroom that zaps him into other places and other bodies, from a homeless man to a cop to an invisible man, while the band plays in the desert and in a hotel room.
