Guitars reminiscent of Fix Me. Harmonies reminiscent of Masterpiece Theatre. Orchestra reminiscent of Ever After. Electronic parts reminiscent of Astoria. Ominous parts reminiscent of Phantoms. This song is perfect and I cannot wait for the album
I'm ready. I'm ready to play their new songs on repeat for the next 10 months. I'm ready for another concert. I'm ready. This is what I've been waiting for.
I think so as well, because the song is 7 minutes and 2 seconds long like the other Marinas Trench intros. Album Tracklist: 1. A Normal Life 2. Lightning and Thunder 3. I'm Not Getting Better And so on.... Also, some of the other tracks(especially the final song) will have the same lyrics and rhythm to "A Normal Life".
Josh really said “Nobody can sing my songs but me” 😂 the RANGE! Like I usually have to really practice for a while to get the highest notes in a Marianas Trench song but this song has notes that are too high for me AND notes that are too low for me! It’s going to take FOREVER to improve my range enough to come ANYWHERE CLOSE to being able to sing this 😭😂😭😂😭😂
You guys returning to that epic, proggy rock opera sound is absolutely everything. You do this so incredibly well and it suits Josh Ramsay’s mindblowing vocal range. Can’t wait to hear more!
This whole song feels like one big excuse for Josh (and the band together tbh) to show off all their vocal tricks and skills at absolute MAX capacity!!
Ugh if this is just the intro. I don't know if I can handle the whole album!!! This song is so good. Ugh this is another Mariana's Trench masterpiece for sure!!!
I'm going to be listening to this non stop. I want to know every lyric, I need this song to swallow me whole. I'm obsessed. That low note in the first verse? the HIGH NOTES?? THE GUITAR?? THE ENTIRE ARRANGEMENT??? CAN ANYONE HEAR ME? IT'S PERFECTION
you guys released phantoms the day my ex dumped me at my birthday party. it was literally my breakup album. and ofc you guys release this 5 years later as i enter a new stage into my life. i dont even know how to describe your amazing timing of dropping this stuff
Similar situation! Last album was released the year I met my abusive cheating ex (legit narcissist). This beautiful promise released just months after I escaped. 😭 I was made for so much more.
DUUUUDE FIRST TØP AND NOW YOU GUYS?!?! CHILDHOOD DREAMS BEING FULFILLED Both Josh and Tyler referencing old songs from all albums, including those that they wrote during extremely hard times during their lives. Gosh, it's giving me such whiplash cause I grew up listening to all of those songs and now I'm older and I can understand and relate to them. I'm so excited for what this year has in store
You guys seriously knocked it out of the park with this one! From the unexpected low baritone in the beginning to the drums showing off Ian's skills, the sick bass lines and the electric guitars blessing my ears with so much raw power, I am left with my jaw wide open! Way to go you guys!! This was amazing! It's gonna be played on repeat until the album comes out for sure! 🎉🔥
It’s a perfect blend of everything Josh has ever done. A person calling out for adventure, seeking a Hero’s Journey. The imagery at first was giving me The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon vibes, but after this… I just want the full album.
I'm UGLY crying on my bathroom floor rn. this music video and the lyrics are all so well done and I think we all can relate to wanting to just break out of our "normal lives". and stop listening to what other people say "normal" is. this song has a little bit of everything from fix me to phantoms. It's the classic MT we all love (synths, orchestra, screaming, harmonies, repeating chord progressions) but there's also something ELSE. Something NEW. and I'm crying bc I remember the first time I heard this band in middle school I KNEW there was something great about them. And now I'm 25 still rocking with them because they still somehow have even MORE in the vault???!?? Beyond excited to purchase this album and be blessed with another era of Marianas Trench. 🥂🥹🫶🏾❤️🥲
it’s so strange… only yesterday I was recommending some Marianas Trench songs to a friend of mine, telling her about my favourite albums etc. but then I said “but they haven’t released new music for a while now” - and today, I open UA-cam and WHAT DO I SEE? this made me so happy!!
This. This is absolutely what pop/punk should be. It's lost its meaning over the years, so it's honestly thrilling to see a song honor is roots in such an amazing fashion. And the angular, stop motion type of animation? Perfect. Everything put together reminds me of the late 90s to early 2000s.
I cannot believe I'm saying this because I LOVE Ever After, but I think this might be my new favorite album opener from you guys! Absolutely smashed it!! 🖤
This is proof the wait between albums was totally worth it. That took me on such a journey and I can’t love this enough. Cannot wait to hear the rest of the album, guys!
Why is it that every ballad song ever released by Marianas Trench, I feel like it has been a song known by my soul since forever?? Like, Ive only listened to this song for the first time a couple of times tonight but I feel like I could belt it right here right now. Truly a bizarre feeling, but I'm here for it always
You have no right making a lyric video this amazing. It's just gorgeous. And the song! Just goes to show that sometimes when you are super excited for something, that thing totally delivers.
I will never stop being in awe of how intelligent your music is. The lyrics are so well put together and evoke so much feeling from us listeners. The musical arrangements add so much to the storytelling of the albums. Not to mention all of the ways you call back to musical motifs from past albums, but adapt them to the current album's style. This is exactly why you all have been my favorite band for over 14 years
I literally ran to the computer room and turned up the speakers right away. My daughter was so confused, until I loaded up UA-cam. We sat silent and listened to every last second in bliss. Amazing. Just incredible. I get vibes of Devin Townsend's "Genesis" at times in this one! Uplifting and hope-filled.
Fell in love with these guys probably 15 years ago but hadn't really kept up with anything new since then. All I can say about this is WOW! They've obviously come a long way. Not sure what demographic the normal fan base encompasses but to this older fan this really feels a lot like Queen when they were at their best, and that's quite a compliment. Can't wait to hear more! It might just be the best thing...😉
@iancasselman556 only the true trenchers understand the significance of the opening track on the album. Releasing this first is just so thoughtful to the true fans who have loved and supported from the beginning ❤️
GUYS, WHAT? This absolute masterpiece managed to capture the feel and sound of every single album. I’m even hearing some of the runs from Miles and Miles on here. This is truly some of the best work to come from you guys and Josh in particular as a producer engineer and composer omg.
I live in Europe, first thing I did when I woke up today was checking your social cause I saw that hidden little message Mike put out the other day. Let's go, new song on repeat!!
It'd been awhile since I kinda checked in with what ya'll were doing and OH MY GOD THIS IS PHENOMENAL????? You guys are absolutely still rocking it!! An ex introduced me to you guys way back in 2019 sometime before Phantoms came out I think and I loved it all then and I still love what ya'll are doing now!!
IM SOOOO EXCITED to see what you guys have in store for us soon. I have so many memories of jamming out to you guys during my childhood, and forcing my friends to listen to you guys in the car 😅. I’m so happy that you guys are still making music, and after all these years, hitting home runs after home run. Praise god!
I see you Josh Ramsay, mirroring the final chord of Sgt. Pepper (Reprise) from the Love Album. It lines up so well, I'm going to pretend that was intentional whether it was or not.
Woah. This song screams a feeling I've felt for so long. Like, "Get me out of this paradigm. I don't want a scripted life." It's not what we were made for. Thanks for this beautiful song
I AM NOT OKAY. I actually got incredibly emotional listening to this, not to mention when I saw a MARIANAS TRENCH song in my new music tab on Spotify I nearly screamed in the middle of the night. I was and still am RIVETED by this song, every bit of it has me in an absolute chokehold and this song won't stop going through my head. I'M SO HAPPY. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. THIS IS THE MOST GORGEOUS SONG. I've been hoping for new Marianas Trench music for years and this was so worth the wait. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MUSIC!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!
I've been a fan since Masterpiece Theatre, and I've loved every album since. I was literally hoping YESTERDAY that you guys would release new music soon. Thank you for fulfilling my wishes! Another stellar song! ❤️
Here's a little breakdown of the sections I'm noticing, might not be accurate but I have some hunches!! Beginning -> 2:06 Phantoms Era, full of spooky motifs and backwards sounds 2:06 -> 2:30 Astoria Era, using retro synths and that token quick fading harmony 2:30 -> 3:05 Ever After Era, pure very driven modern rock 3:05 -> 4:10 Maybe I'm missing something but this section doesn't seem too easy to pinpoint, might just be a mix 4:10 -> 4:44 Masterpiece Theatre Era, sound reminds me a lot of Lover Dearest and the inclusion of the word "bitter" supports this theory 4:44 -> 5:09 Fix Me Era, very obvious! Pure 2000s grunge rock and I think this melody is from that album or a bonus track 5:09 -> Everything combined and used together beautifully
I didn’t know how you were going to do something I loved as much as Phantoms, but here I am. Gasping. Crying. Listening on repeat. The magic is back and stronger than ever!
The absolute joy I have while hearing this is unmatched. It’s been a long while since I’ve been able to feel such a good rush and feel what it means to be alive. I can’t wait to hyper obsess over this for the next year.
Had to jump on UA-cam from Apple Music to listen again and watch the lyric video. You guys frickin killed it yet again. Totally worth the 5 year wait, and I love the choice to make the album opener the lead single it totally sets the stage. You guys have outdone yourselves yet again❤
Amazing song. Wouldn't expect less. My unofficial review of Mr. Ramsay's amazing vocal range on this song: LOW NOTE- F2. Approx 1:40 into the song. HIGH NOTE- A5. Approx 5:20 into the song. Over 3 octaves (3+a third?). His voice sounded like he had more left on both ends. Fantastic voice, awesome song, amazing band. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you guys for releasing the new album opener!!! The song is giving me Astoria vibes and I love that!!! The whole adventure narrative is wonderful and the graphics are definitely giving me Vancouver nature vibes!!! I'm so excited for the new album and the tour that comes with it!!! And if y'all are looking for any independent visual artists to contribute to anything for the new album, I'm available!!!
i absolutely fucking ASCENDED and cried tears of joy when i heard those distorted guitars kick in during the chorus and i realized the OLD sound is BACK
That a cappella harmony followed by heavy guitar always takes me back to Queen (Prophet Song, specifically) and I'm SO glad to hear it again here~. Ya'll are one of the few bands I've found that manage to channel what made Queen feel so magical to me when I was a kid (not just their sound, but the ambition and passion and narrative) and every time you drop another banger like this it takes me right back scream-singing in the kitchen with my mom.
you guys really have to go and drop this when i'm sick. now i'm a crying, blubbering, coughing mess because it's so gd beautiful. ;-; if the rest of the album is a 10th of this good, we're all in for the biggest treat. but lets face it, it'll be 10000% of this goodness.
Omg this is a true master piece this was so worth waiting 5 years. You guys are absolute legends I would love to meet you guys and to get the honor of signing with you guys one day
Man, I love these guys! They do such a fantastic job combining all their albums. It makes them such a unique band. They have their own style of music, not rock & roll, pop, or even alternate. Their style is Marianas Trench, and that's what makes them awesome.
This is why you guys will always be the greatest. Rest of the world can have their mediocre radio pop. Ya'll keep writing and performing this theatrical brilliance and show the world what real genius is. Thanks for another amazing song.
Hell yes!! The boys are back!! Everything we love, the interludes, soaring Josh vocals, half time rock, gorgeous harmonies. Sounds like a brilliant album culmination song and I frickin love it!! God, I can't wait for the album! NC Trenchers ready to go!!
Goosebumps before Josh even started singing. OHHHH how I missed new Mariana's Trench music. Such a great mixture of every albums sound until now and such a great song over all. THANK YOU for making my day!!!
This song made me feel pure bliss the entire way through!! Thank you all so much for coming back after 5 years!! You guys are all amazing and I can’t wait to see what you all bring next! ❤
Thank you for making me love you guys again! The Olympic Flame concert you held in 2010 at Cold Lake was my first experience with live Trench. I love the Fix Me album from beginning to end...the lyrics in this seem vulnerable like then, plus built-in concert moments from the music Bravo!!
Guitars reminiscent of Fix Me.
Harmonies reminiscent of Masterpiece Theatre.
Orchestra reminiscent of Ever After.
Electronic parts reminiscent of Astoria.
Ominous parts reminiscent of Phantoms.
This song is perfect and I cannot wait for the album
And the emotions of Josh’s early stuff pre Marianas Trench.
Thinking the same thing!
HELL YES, YOU PUT MY FEELINGS INTO THE WORDSSSSSS! 💞💞💞
Well you know your stuff 🎉
If the next album has a part of every other album it will 1000% be a hit
So, not only do ya’ll drop a new song, but ya’ll drop a 7 minute straight banger. This is why I love you guys.
💚
Same👏
Classic already...listened to it all day🙏❤️
I just peed a little
Fuck*** Fantastic. So stoked for New Album. You never disappoint.
Well played guys...
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SLEEP NOW WITH THIS SUDDEN RUSH OF ADRENALINE??
Right? I was heading off to bed, but now I'm HYPED
Absolutely 💯 💯 I don't belong inside a normal life 😜
SAME I LITERALLY WAS SETTLING INTO BED AND SAW THIS
Same!!!
Same this is why this is the best Canadian band ever
I'm ready. I'm ready to play their new songs on repeat for the next 10 months. I'm ready for another concert. I'm ready. This is what I've been waiting for.
Yes!!!
Their new releases might just cure my depression 😂
Let's gooo!!
@@rowanpalmer1i was just thinking the same time after listening to this new track💪
I would be ready for that too
I would go see them as soon as dates came out
This sounds like an opening Marianas Trench album song🖤🖤🖤
100% sounds like a first track
They just confirmed in their twitter that it is an opener song!!
It does sound like an opener doesn't it....... 👀
I think so as well, because the song is 7 minutes and 2 seconds long like the other Marinas Trench intros.
Album Tracklist:
1. A Normal Life
2. Lightning and Thunder
3. I'm Not Getting Better
And so on....
Also, some of the other tracks(especially the final song) will have the same lyrics and rhythm to "A Normal Life".
Josh really said “Nobody can sing my songs but me” 😂 the RANGE! Like I usually have to really practice for a while to get the highest notes in a Marianas Trench song but this song has notes that are too high for me AND notes that are too low for me! It’s going to take FOREVER to improve my range enough to come ANYWHERE CLOSE to being able to sing this 😭😂😭😂😭😂
SAME😮😮😮😮😢😢😢
Best thing they’ve put out in a long time imo. Reminds me of Ever After.
Exactly my thoughts
More like masterpiece theatre
I was thinking like ever after and masterpiece had a baby haha
While I love Ever After and totally get those fantastical vibes from this, Killing Kind is an absolute banger and prob my favorite single of theirs
While I love Ever After and totally get those fantastical vibes from this, Killing Kind is an absolute banger and prob my favorite single of theirs
Three octaves plus an additional major third more in the same song? Now you're just showing off, Josh... (Fucking phenomenal.)
I have the range to sing this, but I would sound SO bad doing it. 😭 The level that Josh is on, technique-wise, is otherworldly.
It sounds amazing!! When he hits the high notes I can’t help but get goosebumps!!! ❤
THE GOATS OF CANADA ARE BACKKK
You guys returning to that epic, proggy rock opera sound is absolutely everything. You do this so incredibly well and it suits Josh Ramsay’s mindblowing vocal range.
Can’t wait to hear more!
Sounds so theatrical like it belongs on a broadway show!
theyve actually NEVER missed on an intro/outro song and i am here for it
This whole song feels like one big excuse for Josh (and the band together tbh) to show off all their vocal tricks and skills at absolute MAX capacity!!
Amen lol
He’s amazing
I can always count on Marianas Trench to come save me from a crisis with a 7 minute piece of art at midnight
*Looks at length of video* - "Ah a 7 minute song"
*Looks at band* - "Of course, a 7 minute song"
We are so back.
Ugh if this is just the intro. I don't know if I can handle the whole album!!! This song is so good. Ugh this is another Mariana's Trench masterpiece for sure!!!
I'm going to be listening to this non stop. I want to know every lyric, I need this song to swallow me whole. I'm obsessed. That low note in the first verse? the HIGH NOTES?? THE GUITAR?? THE ENTIRE ARRANGEMENT???
CAN ANYONE HEAR ME? IT'S PERFECTION
Exactly all my feelings!! You said it perfectly :)
Absofukkinlutely!!!
THE CHORD PROGRESSIONS MID SONG

you guys released phantoms the day my ex dumped me at my birthday party. it was literally my breakup album.
and ofc you guys release this 5 years later as i enter a new stage into my life. i dont even know how to describe your amazing timing of dropping this stuff
Similar situation! Last album was released the year I met my abusive cheating ex (legit narcissist). This beautiful promise released just months after I escaped. 😭 I was made for so much more.

AND DOWN WITH WEBSTER IS BACK
@@MeganWeber-f2g BROOOO
@@MeganWeber-f2gW H A T
I was so confused I thought you were talking about Josh Dun hahaha
Edit: stupid autocorrect
You guys seriously knocked it out of the park with this one! From the unexpected low baritone in the beginning to the drums showing off Ian's skills, the sick bass lines and the electric guitars blessing my ears with so much raw power, I am left with my jaw wide open! Way to go you guys!! This was amazing! It's gonna be played on repeat until the album comes out for sure! 🎉🔥
It’s a perfect blend of everything Josh has ever done. A person calling out for adventure, seeking a Hero’s Journey.
The imagery at first was giving me The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon vibes, but after this… I just want the full album.
Hero's Journey I'd a perfect way to describe! I just pictured how it sounded like a soundtrack to an epic film of sorts.
My soul needed this so badly
I'm UGLY crying on my bathroom floor rn. this music video and the lyrics are all so well done and I think we all can relate to wanting to just break out of our "normal lives". and stop listening to what other people say "normal" is. this song has a little bit of everything from fix me to phantoms.

BRUH IM SAYING!!!! STRAIGHT FUCKING SOBBING OMFG.
You have no idea how long I’ve waited for this and it is beautiful ❤
Wasn't expecting to relate so hard to this first song from your new album!! Can't wait for more!!
I love the racing sound of the instruments. This song is already growing on me.
IT'S SO GOOD. THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER
it’s so strange… only yesterday I was recommending some Marianas Trench songs to a friend of mine, telling her about my favourite albums etc. but then I said “but they haven’t released new music for a while now” - and today, I open UA-cam and WHAT DO I SEE? this made me so happy!!
We read your mind 😈
I WAS ABOUT TO GO TO SLEEP HELLO
literally me too
And I just woke up to go to work 😅
Right?!
THIS. I don’t know how I’m expected to sleep now 💀
Yesss!!
This. This is absolutely what pop/punk should be. It's lost its meaning over the years, so it's honestly thrilling to see a song honor is roots in such an amazing fashion.
And the angular, stop motion type of animation? Perfect. Everything put together reminds me of the late 90s to early 2000s.
Love this message. You know what’s going on.❤
I swear I hear Say Anything’s guitar somewhere in the middle of the song.
4:44
2:38 & 4:44 have elements of Say Anything & Primetime. Josh went back to his roots here.
Say anything has been in every album probably
that end note are you KIDDING?! 🤯🤯
you can’t release a song at 12am and expect me to not wake my entire family up screaming
IMMEDIATELY brought me to tears in the BEST WAY
Nothing like a brand new song from your favourite band right before bed!
HOW DO I SLEEP 😭😭
1:36 Excuse me sir who allowed you to have a range that sick
5:18 OH COME ON I REPEAT who allowed you to have a range that SICK
"I could leave tonight and run and make a bitter fool of everyone" YES, PLEASE! MORE!
I cannot believe I'm saying this because I LOVE Ever After, but I think this might be my new favorite album opener from you guys! Absolutely smashed it!! 🖤
THIS IS GOING TO BE SUCH A GOOD YEAR?!?! 😭
This is proof the wait between albums was totally worth it. That took me on such a journey and I can’t love this enough. Cannot wait to hear the rest of the album, guys!
Its been so long since jve been around for the drop of a song, if the whole album ends up like this, its gonna be a straight banger.

Like, Ive only listened to this song for the first time a couple of times tonight but I feel like I could belt it right here right now. Truly a bizarre feeling, but I'm here for it always

I love this album. You guys are like fine wine....getting better and better with time. Been a fan since about 2007 ❤❤❤
Your long songs are honestly the best, the way they evolve is incredible. Keep it up, the talent hasnt stopped
Fuck I love this song
This had that arcadia feels i wanted thank you!
saw y’all live literally tonight, best performance i’ve been to hands down. love you guys, can’t wait to see more in the future
The amount of excitement i felt when i learned you guys dropped a new song, and this song is such an experience
This release was for the TRENCHERS 😍🔥
Indeed, it was, got to give the people the love❤
@iancasselman556 only the true trenchers understand the significance of the opening track on the album. Releasing this first is just so thoughtful to the true fans who have loved and supported from the beginning ❤️
Another symphony courtesy of Josh Ramsay and Marianas Trench...feels like Chapter II of Phantoms!
Honestly, living for these 7 minute masterpieces. Killing Kind was an on-loop song for me, this too :)
GUYS, WHAT?
This absolute masterpiece managed to capture the feel and sound of every single album. I’m even hearing some of the runs from Miles and Miles on here. This is truly some of the best work to come from you guys and Josh in particular as a producer engineer and composer omg.
マジで良い...
素敵な曲をありがとう
DUDEEEEEEE I AM IN AWE AT NOT ONLY THE SONG BUT ALSO THE ART OF THIS LYRIC VID????? Absolutely stunning, 100/10 work from everyone involved!!!!
This is bohemian rhapsody and styx level writing. Beautiful.

I’m so happy that you guys are still making music, and after all these years, hitting home runs after home run. Praise god!
The guitar at 4.44 is straight 🔥 I could listen to that loop on repeat.
I see you Josh Ramsay, mirroring the final chord of Sgt. Pepper (Reprise) from the Love Album. It lines up so well, I'm going to pretend that was intentional whether it was or not.
Respectfully, HOW am I supposed to come down from this energy at this time of night with this dropping?
Woah. This song screams a feeling I've felt for so long. Like, "Get me out of this paradigm. I don't want a scripted life." It's not what we were made for. Thanks for this beautiful song

Never been more excited! Come to Nashville please 🙏
Here's a little breakdown of the sections I'm noticing, might not be accurate but I have some hunches!!
Beginning -> 2:06 Phantoms Era, full of spooky motifs and backwards sounds
2:06 -> 2:30 Astoria Era, using retro synths and that token quick fading harmony
2:30 -> 3:05 Ever After Era, pure very driven modern rock
3:05 -> 4:10 Maybe I'm missing something but this section doesn't seem too easy to pinpoint, might just be a mix
4:10 -> 4:44 Masterpiece Theatre Era, sound reminds me a lot of Lover Dearest and the inclusion of the word "bitter" supports this theory

you guys really have to go and drop this when i'm sick. now i'm a crying, blubbering, coughing mess because it's so gd beautiful. ;-; if the rest of the album is a 10th of this good, we're all in for the biggest treat. but lets face it, it'll be 10000% of this goodness.
Omg this is a true master piece this was so worth waiting 5 years. You guys are absolute legends I would love to meet you guys and to get the honor of signing with you guys one day
Man, I love these guys! They do such a fantastic job combining all their albums. It makes them such a unique band. They have their own style of music, not rock & roll, pop, or even alternate. Their style is Marianas Trench, and that's what makes them awesome.
This is why you guys will always be the greatest. Rest of the world can have their mediocre radio pop. Ya'll keep writing and performing this theatrical brilliance and show the world what real genius is. Thanks for another amazing song.
Hell yes!! The boys are back!! Everything we love, the interludes, soaring Josh vocals, half time rock, gorgeous harmonies. Sounds like a brilliant album culmination song and I frickin love it!! God, I can't wait for the album! NC Trenchers ready to go!!
Binging the album to learn as many words as possible before the Dallas concert next week. I feel like I’m studying for exams, but… pleasurably.
OMFG, this is incredible. The production is incredible....but the vocal harmonies are the reason I love you guys!
Love how we progress from the voices in the night whispering, then speaking, then screaming 🥰🥰🥰
SCREAMING!!!
Having a bad day, then I got this!! I love y’all so much!! Fantastic work
So ready for this new era!
Us too!
Love you guys!!!! So happy to enter a new era of Marianas trench
NEW MARIANAS TRENCH? I LITERALLY JUST WOKE UP FROM A NAP
Goosebumps before Josh even started singing. OHHHH how I missed new Mariana's Trench music. Such a great mixture of every albums sound until now and such a great song over all. THANK YOU for making my day!!!
This song made me feel pure bliss the entire way through!! Thank you all so much for coming back after 5 years!! You guys are all amazing and I can’t wait to see what you all bring next! ❤
Thank you for making me love you guys again! The Olympic Flame concert you held in 2010 at Cold Lake was my first experience with live Trench. I love the Fix Me album from beginning to end...the lyrics in this seem vulnerable like then, plus built-in concert moments from the music Bravo!!
