      Yes I listened to all of their songs and I don’t necessarily love the heavier ones since every song has its own power and depth. I just love them so much I wish they would play one of the festivals in Europe this summer so I would be able to see them perform

    • @Midnightpierogi
      @Midnightpierogi 5 років тому +16

      @@carlspackler91 since "acoustic" is actually just a level of sound quality to the ear, and acoustics are the way in which sounds bounce off barriers and or magnets, "acoustic version" is just way in which a song or sound is produced with or without electric mediums. An acoustic guitar can be an electric acoustic. Just as an electric guitar can be made to simulate the sound of an acoustic guitar. Acoustic sounds can also be produced on synths.

    I remember really relating to this song when I first heard it but I couldn't put words to why. I'm autistic and sometimes all life feels like some act I'm putting on for approval. While it's not fake, it's also not real and at the end of the day it leaves me empty because even though I have tried so hard to please everyone around me, I'm completely and utterly alone inside. Idk. I'm in my feelings rn.

    A lot of us probably hear this song, and feel it when they say "is there anyone out there looking out for me?" We need to realize that if we feel that way, others are needing someone to look out for them. "Carry each other's burdens and in this way fulfill the law of Christ." Great song.

    "The Jester"
    Like a Jester at the ball
    Rubbed my shoulders with the kings
    And I was draped in gold and velvet
    Bathing in applause while I was jumping through the rings
    And then the cooks would sound a bell
    And all the kings would lick their lips
    But I couldn't find a place mat
    The dinner table's full and there's no room for me to sit
    Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
    Just say you want me, just say you need me
    Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
    Does anybody need me?
    Is every last soul just fucking me over?
    With tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders.
    Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
    Lord, I live to entertain
    All my pride is in my praise
    I hum along with this vibration
    And hope to god I make it
    If any chord that I could strum
    Made me feel less like a man
    I'd slam my fingers in the doorway
    And shatter all the bones so I could never strum again
    Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
    Just say you want me, just say you need me
    Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
    For me?
    Is every last soul just fucking me over?
    With tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders
    Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
    Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
    Just say you want me, just say you need me
    Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
    For me?
    Is every last soul just fucking me over
    With tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders
    Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
    For me?
    Is every last soul just fucking me over
    With tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders
    Is there anybody out there looking out for me?

    Looking out for me?
    Lord, I live to entertain
    All my pride is in my praise
    I hum along with this vibration
    And hope to God I make it
    If any chord that I could strum
    Make me feel less like a man
    I'd slam my fingers in the doorway
    And shatter all the bones
    So I could never strum again
    Is there anybody out there
    Looking out for me?
    Just say you want me
    Just say you need me
    Is there anybody out there
    Looking out for me?
    For me?
    Is every last soul just fucking me over?
    With tears on their shoes
    And ice on their shoulders
    Is there anybody out there
    Looking out for me?
    Whoa, Is there anybody out
    There looking out for me?
    Just say you want me
    Just say you need me
    Is there anybody out there
    Looking out for me?
    For me?
    Whoa, Is every last soul
    Just fucking me over?
    With tears on their shoes
    And ice on their shoulders
    Is there anybody out there
    Looking out for me?
    For me
    Is every last soul just fucking me over?
    With tears on their shoes
    And ice on their shoulders
    Is there anybody out there
    Looking out for me?

    This band sounds so good acoustic. Such a pure smooth sound. Been hooked on them since the first time hearing them

    These guys are awesome. Just pure raw emotion, which is lacking in today's music.
