All night, I dream of forever, hiding myself from the world, that's grown colder. Needs to be printed into a book! So good!
The lyrics that Austin screams, "I wanna be stronger than oceans. I wanna lift mountains high. Bring back glory to our names. I wanna move faster than time," was from Shayley's first band called Covette. The song that those lyrics are from is called "Parade Called Jealous Eyes" by Covette. This song was written by Shay.
@@mpk6664 Read the original booklet. Shay even went on record saying he wrote the lyrics for the original tracks. Listen to anything by dayshell and you can very clearly put that together. their lyrical work hasnt held a candle to this record since shay left.
@@acerhythm7026 yeah man that's bang on... shay was the driving force behind majority of the songs lyrically... austin has his songs but we know those songs cos they specifically relate to his life and his mother and ex... shay has a different way of writing... less obvious than just saying what's wrong effectively... I miss Shay being more like this tbh the new dayshell album was good but nothing like the self titled album
The first song I listen to with any screaming vocals in it. This song and this band are the whole reason I've found my way into metalcore and found something that helps gets me through tough days. Thanks guys.
I have listened to this album more than any other album ever. No shame. It's too perfect. I just kinda wish they stayed this way after they released the calm, the storm, the flood, and the depths with Aaron after Shayley left. Don't get me wrong, I love Aaron and I like Restoring Force but I love their old sound better. Even their very first album. But there's no problem with bands changing, Of Mice & Men is still my favorite band even with new sound. Hoping good things come their way for the future :)
I remember when this was released I'd just got my own place with my best friend and we were figuring things out... This song blew my mind and I immediately bought the album. Shayley has such a unique voice.
Whenever i hear this song i always picture myself alone, in the middle of an ocean, screaming at a storm as if i was speaking to God himself. Sooo moving. They have no idea how much this song means to me.
Whenever i hear this song i always picture myself in the middle of an ocean on a rocking ship screaming at the storm as if i was talking directly to God himself.
Music saves lives because the members of the bands have gone through tragic things through their lives and they vent there problems through their music. They have a message in every song and it creates a bond with the audience and sends that message. the audience therefore realizes that they aren't alone and that there is more to life and there is still something to live for.
This song is in Drop C for anybody who plays guitar or bass. Fun fact: Did you know that Purified was only played like 2 times live in 2011 and it was all in Drop C#? They never played it in its original key live and was never played the years after.
hello kitty Highschool for me was like 15 years ago. Now that's memories. Lol funny when kids act like something was so long ago for them when it is just a few years 😂
i love shay's voice.. he could sing really good and even in really high notes, thats RARE, in these kinds of music. if anyone knows another band that can sing as high as shay's please tell me!
@@MrDwoods008 Oh no I definitely know what I See Stars is 😂 I think Devin Oliver and his brother are so brilliant, but especially Devin. Kellin Quinn goes pretty high too, I just wanna say that Spencer Sotelo from Periphery is pretty talented too he does fantastic screaming and cleans overall (great range) if you want examples of Spencer going high I'd search up "Ragnarok," "Stranger Things," "Satellites," "All New Materials," "Jetpacks Was Yes V2," "Lune," "Alpha," "Buttersnips," "Scarlet," "Catch Fire" and some others those are off the top of my head
Just found out that "I want to be stronger than oceans, I want to lift mountains high" is a lyric that came from Shayley's old band Covetter (song "Parade Called Jealous Eyes")
Shayley Bourget, Im sure there are some major haters out there that dont like the decision you made. I am one of the people that fully support your decision. It is very sad to see you leave your band, Of Mice & Men. But it was your decision and had to do it. You honestly have the voice of an angel♥, you are very gifted and talented. The most beautiful voice ever. My favorite clean vocalist of all time. So wether you fix your life and join back in Of Mice & Men or not, I will always support you.
I met Austin last night and cried he is my idol and inspiration. It was the best night of my life and he is the sweetest person you will ever meet!! :')
Spencer Cowan Old OM&M was by far the best version, however I won’t disregard the current and possibly future versions either. They’ve helped me immensely and many others, with their music. No need to pit any of their styles against another. \m/
omam will never be the same without shaley thats just the way i feel.I do still think restoring force is a great album.The first two albums can be described in two words - authentic masterpiece (slang version - real shit) and thats gonna be pretty hard to beat,kinda like them godfather movies. I can therefore understand the disappointment of some fans. One thing though is this no matter what happens I'll always love omam's music. Everything from the drums,guitars,keyboards, and vocals all of it came from the most important fuckin place yo....the heart.
Fun fact: the verse that Austin does; "I wanna be stronger than Oceans, I wanna lift mountains high" etc is a lyric from a song by Shayley's old band Covette from the Machines are Taking Over album. Check it out, it's sick.
"All night, I dream of water that can wash the weight of the world from my shoulders." In John 4:14, Jesus says this, "But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” It seemed relevant.
Of Mice & Men make me feel good as a guitarist because they make easy-to-play, awesome-sounding music. Thank you Phil, Alan and Shayley for making easy guitar/bass parts which make me sound brilliant at school.
I've never seen music as a 'trend'. I see it as an expression of life and the bands perspective of the world. Music can truly be passed around, becoming something popular, but those who truly see music for what it is, has a connection. So when asked the question 'Why ?', pour your heart out. It's your feelings. They may go with it, or they may continue arguing. Either way, say what you need to. Stand up for what you believe in. Stand up for your music.
this album got me through some of my roughest days in middle school 😩 forever my favorite metalcore band
now they can get you through life.
Amen 🙏🏼 still bumping Austin and the boys rn 🏴☠️
I just came back to this recently to remember those days
Same ✨️ I'm glad you're still here with us 🤍
Me too in high school. ❤
The Flood is probably their best album. Fuck the haters.
Yeah duck the haters.
Over a decade later, and here I am crying in the shower listening to my favorite middle school band
hands down...the flood is my all time favorite album hands down does amybody els agree 👌
self title was best
this is my second favorite. this album is just perfect all the way through
Jose Alvara hell yea it was 🙌🏼
@@CoffeePotGames yeah
Jose Alvara I’m sorry but the self titled is definitely not the best album from OM&M
This song feels like a prayer to God
that or a cry for help
Would make sense. Austin's Catholic faith is very important to him. This song is reminiscent of baptism for me.
I read a small section from an interview (take it with a grain of salt) that this song was like a cry for help to his faith.
Idk why but this song always calms me down in an anxiety attack
that's good :)
Yeah same here. This song is a straight up life saver
Same any of their older stuff calm my anxiety.. idk something about shayley and Austin’s vocals together is.. something
Same

When Shayley left, this band went downhill. He's sooo talented. Anyway their latest EP is great.
I actually liked Restoring Force when Aaron joined. After that is just meh
But this is metal-core...
This is the definition of "real music"
the only hands down best Album of all time by these guys
how to laugh
step 1: put this video at .5 speed
meme
speed it up, I was dying lmao. Sounds like a really crappy djent band at 2x
sounds like shrek doing screamo
i fucking hate you looollll
The singer sounds like Claudio Sanchez..
Except his name is Shayley Bourget
I thought this too!
Where the black people at???? o:
in my ass
Jarmahent my black friend says "I can't fuck with white people and metal" and I'm like... I'm half white and like metal m8 :^)
Just another success story of what happens when ppl stuck in the mainstream hear real music and are saved from the sweeping currents
Thing song has some of the most incredible melodies I've heard
LOVE this band!!! I wish there was more good music like this out there.......
The flood had a lot of great song ,this is one of them
