“We wanted to go back to our roots,” states Dawson Scholz on The Ongoing Concept's upcoming album AGAIN. “The goal was to do an homage to our earlier albums, while moving forward. We tapped into the old mindset and combined it with where we’re at now. If we were going to get back together, we knew it couldn’t be underwhelming. We needed to give the fans music that was on par with what we were doing a decade ago, but evolved.”
The Ongoing Concept integrate “lyrics and Easter Eggs” from previous albums into the record’s framework, embodying the title quite literally. “Thematically, the songs are continuations,” Dawson affirms. “Every single song has its own vibe even though some of the lyrics may be connected to older tunes.”

Constantly complacent in my bones
Feeling you reverberate
Quit tugging on my soul
I feel everything
But nothing that I want
Face up to the fact that you’ll be better off alone.
I can’t think
I am lost in my own head
I can’t keep it together
Round and round we go
Sanity in solitude is misery
Feeling foreign inside my bones
Hoping to God that I can make it back home
Fighting the feeling of growing cold
Fighting this feeling is getting old
So am I mistaken
Or are the bodies lining up?
No, they can’t seem to get enough
Give me more of this
I can’t get enough of it
Give more of this
I’m feeling cold ‘cause I’m on my way out
I said I’m on my way
Falling through the cracks
Can’t keep my sanity
Take it away
So I can’t feel the pain.
Feeling foreign inside my bones
Save yourself
Round and round we go
Hope to God that I make it home
Dead inside
I’m feeling so alone
Losing sanity
Losing sanity with praises unto me
All your will
Sanity in solitude in misery
Out in the world you won’t get any sympathy
Save yourself
I find myself being shallow
I view the world through a small dark window
Insanity seems to follow
I need to find a way to break this habit
I’m feeling cold ‘cause I’m on my way out
I said I’m on my way
Falling through the cracks
Can’t keep my sanity
Take it away
Losing sanity with praises unto me
Save yourself
Sanity in solitude is misery
All your will
I view the world through a small dark window
I need to find a way to break this habit

It's good to be back
It's good to have you back
Oh yea babe! This is what I need 🎉
Welcome back 🎉
This was phenomenal, so glad you guys are back, no one, and I mean no one, does it like The Ongoing Concept. Album of the year material!
It's been too long bois
A bunch of dudes playing music. A bunch of guys singing melodies. A bunch of guys screaming their lungs out.
I'm all onboard for this. What an awesome video.
You forgot a bunch of guys chopping wood. Yup.
This is the PERFECT way to return, by getting everybody back in the band and releasing the best song of your careers
that means a lot, Thanks so much!
The comeback I never expected but the one we all needed.
My favorite band of all time. LET’S. GO.
this is a new level of badassery and fresh sounds the likes of which I haven't heard in a very very long time. Been a fan of TOC for a while, and so glad to see they're back, and back with a vengeance. March 31st cant come fast enough. Bravo boys
thanks for the love!
I’m finding it difficult to articulate how truly badass of a comeback this is!
So glad to have ya’ll back!
So glad you're back ! I don't know how many times I've listened to Saloon and Handmade - Your music is truly a meaning of freedom ! Keep it up 🔥
THEYRE BAAAAAAAACK, no lie played Saloon like a month ago and said to myself "I really missed the chance to see them play live"
Please come to Florida so I can mark that off my concert bucket list 😭
I remember hearing you guys for the first time when you popped up directly behind us in line at Warped Tour Pomona in 2013 and delivered an intensity filled set before warped tour even started. Been a fan ever since and this song is madness, it's so good. Maybe the world wasn't ready for TOC back then but we are now.
that was so long ago! Thanks for sticking around all these years!
Glad you guys are back. Missed all the fun you guys you brought to the table. New album is gonna be sick!
Oh thank goodness. Discovered ya'll like 2 years ago and have been dying for new tunes.
So good to have The Ongoing Concept back! I've always felt they're one of the most energetic and unique bands of their genre, and I can tell the group is so reinvigorated all united together again. This new album is definitely one of my most anticipated of the year!
Never thought I'd see the day, I can't wait for this album.
I’m so freaking happy that you’re back and with all the og members too and that one newish guy who was on places (sorry idk his name) and I love everyone doing vocals on this song (except Parker) it’s so freaking cool I love how the newer guy and tj fit in with Kyle and Dawson! Can’t wait for the album!
Andy is da MAN.
This so going to be a good year for music. Haste the Day is back, y'all are back, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster are back, and we have new albums from Red, All That Remains and War of Ages coming.
HASTE THE DAY IS BACK!?!?!
War of Ages is coming out with new music???
@@LRM5195 HTD is doing shows again. They have some big announcement for tomorrow.
@@greatness3554 They were working on new music when their drummer died. It could get pushed back but it was supposed to come out in 2023.
W taste
Creative and pushing the envelope of what a band is and what qualifies for being "solid state worthy". Love it!
i see the other bois brought back some new influences to the sound, very intrigued to hear the rest of the new project!
sharing this with everyone i know who is interested in new, refreshing music
great work with the song + mv
Thanks for much!
You guys got me into the heavy side of music. I’ve been waiting for this for so long and I’m so glad it’s finally here!!!!
GOD DAMN!!! The boys coming back STROOOOONG!! So happy to the OGs back together :)
Been there since day 1. Big evolution. I see big things from you guys.
Boys to men, men that were boys and the country edge to bring them back, again, more mature and grounded to what possibly has always been...Within these Men that were boys. In the end and now back again. Thank you grounded and maturing men.
Welcome back, you dashing lads. It's like they never left after Handmade was released.
TJ?? Andy??? This is amazing. Fuck. I love this band so much.
i still listen to this band all the time. saloon, unwanted, amends, arrows before bullets and my guitar batt died. i miss you gents. good to see ya rt
dang going back to the EP days ha
@@TheOnGoingConcept can’t help it. came up when the microkorg beep boops blew up in metal lolol
Seems like all the bands I've heard under Solid State recently have been putting in work. I'm digging all of this.
Was the waiting time way too long? Yes.
Was it worth it? FUCK YES TOTALLY WORTH IT!
Wait, original members all back?! TJ doing better???
YAAAAAAAAAAS!
I would legit take this song on every track of a 10 song album. But I’ll settle for more.
The boys are back in toooowoowooowwoooon!
Somehow never heard of you prior but am glad to see your return! Seems I have some digging to do before the new album drops!
this is blowing up everything with energy! endlessly glad you're back, guys!!!
This is better than I hoped for! Y'all are making dreams come true!
Waited 8 years and finally!!!!!

Now this is some tasty funkadelic rage music.
So it just hit me, around the 1:20 mark, that guitar-lick gave me seeeerious Lethal Weapon vibes hahah
El Concept Ongoing... Seeing you guys together again brought a tear to these tired eyes... I hope I get to see the greatness live... 👊🤘🤙🙃
Great job my dudes!
I have listened to this album since its release but actually I didn't see this video. It was just a few months ago that I received 8mm tapes from my childhood. I bought a Sony camcorder and not only did I watch the tapes but I already started making new ones. This song just got that much better.
This right here is what we needed holy shit.
WOW
Yes.
Holy shit has it been a long time since they released a song?
Yes
Whoever edited this video deserves all of the awards.
The story of the music video focusing on the prisoners doing simple things like recording with a camera and taking pictures adds a subtle note to the experience.
Perfect Timing, I just got really into you guys, I can't stop listening XD
thats awesome!
Tres años sin escuchar The ongoing concept volvi a escucharlos en diciembre y ahora veo que volvieron. 2023 no está siendo tan malo :')
yeeeeeees! so glad you're back! what a banger! looking forward to the album release
*geese
I’ve such a new fan but goddamn y’all have become one of my new favorite obsessions!! Keep on rocking fellas 🤘🤘
The youngins in the metal community aren't ready for this one.
Thanks🙏 from Russia🇷🇺😍 super cool👍😎
So damn good.
💯🤘🏻
That punch at :50 is great. The new album is fantastic guys.
Yes please! Welcome back you crazy bastards! Still awaiting you one day in Czech republic, or anywhere in Europe.
The boys are backkkkkk
