Legit my first experience with this song was laying in bed at 2am, and looking out the window after a year long relationship ended. Wanted some nostalgia so I listened to the emo playlist on spotifiy, most of the songs made me smile and laugh when they came on but this one pulled me out of that. Made me feel like I need to live life, so the band name is on the nose. 10/10, great for MTV teen drama moments of staring at the moon while a single tear rolls down your cheek. Good memory.
My thought was this is Modest Mouse multiplied by Cursive and it’s fucking great. If you like this check out Special Explosion on the same label. So good… and Foxing too.
This band is so fuckin great. The lyrics are amazing, along with the imperfect vocals, yet fantastic flow and sound. This band really is meaningful. This'll be the shit that 15 years from now I'll look back on and get nostalgic about thinking of how great this band made my life. True talent and beautiful sound.
You have a good concept, and I agree with you fully. This band will be one of the many that when I'm old, and thinking about my teenage years and my 20's, I'll think of this band, Clever Girl, Loose Lips Sink Ships, Pianos become the teeth, Have Mercy, Joie De Vivre, Merchant Ships, and some others. This band will stick with me for the rest of my days though, not a doubt in my mind.
Honestly, I never considered that so many people would hate the vocals? I love the singers vocal range and I personally think it works great for this song and music genre. I don't mean do police what people can't or can like - you're perfectly entitled to your own opinion and to voice it - but this 'perfectly imperfect' way of recording a song is kind of twiabp's brand and I hope you can appreciate them if you give this amazing band a chance!
Whenever you find home If everyone belongs there Feeling our bodies breaking down Just trying to find a way out To a city so big that it is bound To keep your secrets Pack your seats high Saying goodbye to your close friends Making some promises like “I’ll see you again” So when will I see you again? (new apartment complexes rising) I know a few chords that could make you miss me They ring and decay in this garage every few days Just trying to figure out this beat So if you want to come back east, (take down your pictures pack your belongings. Then maybe you can help me find it If your arms are just felt Then when you hold me I’ll feel held We’ll sink in these notes It never felt like this, it never felt like this Tell me we belong here If your arms become smoke Then I’ll have nothing left to hold We’ll dissipate with these notes It shouldn’t feel like this, it shouldn’t feel like this If everyone belongs here
My first experience with this song: A friend in the band sent me a copy before the album was released. I'd found the band on a sketchy download site and thought the band name was funny, so I downloaded Formlessness. I was floored, and became an instant mega-fan. Getting to make a friend in the band, and getting to hear the album early, and to hear how this song (and the whole album) completely blew away all their previous material...it was awe-inspiring... I'd been dumped recently, my parents were splitting, and I had barely graduated high school with no direction or aspirations, and their music was a huge source of comfort and inspiration. I'd had so many talented musician friends go forgotten or unheard, and this song and album legitimized what I knew this band could be: an essential in the genre with a distinct voice and sound. First time I heard this song I cried hard, and sometimes, I still do. This is one of my all time favorite songs and I dread the day I die and can't be on this planet anymore with art as good as this.
I broke down to this song after a emotionally abusive relationship, a year or two later I see her again walking down the street after 2 years without seeing her and I instantly broke down this song brings me into a state of wanting to live life more but at the same time fall back and breakdown so much raw emotions this song brings to the table
Yeah I couldn't agree more. The presence of those post-rock esque soaring and prevalent melodies is indisputable. But their style is clearly also derivative of all the bands that have been mentioned in this slew of comments, which is really just a testament to how wonderful this band is.
I miss who I was and where I was 5 years ago. But that doesn't mean I want that old me back. I'm growing into a person I never thought I would be. And I think I'm finally learning what it's like to love myself.

If I see one more comment about how people hate the vocals, I will lose my mind. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. It's actually really simple.
It's funny cause I was just thinking this morning about how I'm naturally drawn to singers with imperfect voices. I don't know why exactly but probably it sounds more sincere to me. Also maybe because my voice is horrible and yet I like singing and I can understand the desire to have something to say yet everyone thinks you should just shut up. Anyway I noticed I love Bright Eyes, Ani Difranco, Neutral Milk Hotel, Kind of Like Spitting, etc. I've never heard of The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die, but I will definitely check them out! If you have any other suggestions of similar bands, please reply in the comments. I'm open to suggestions! :)
now, its about one year since i move out of my country and left all my close friends behind. And, of course, i made promises like "ill see you again". I fucking miss them and i dont know if I really belong in my new home/city.
Just read about this band in AP....Had to check them out when they dropped Mineral as an influence. Amazing stuff. Reminds me of great music I listened to in High School only with way better production value and a splash more psychedelic. LOVE IT!!!
a lot of emo and post rock won't have perfect vocals nor will some strive for a "perfect clean" sounding song. It exposes the rawness of the music and tends to emphasise lyrics about hardship and maybe struggle. TWIABP have a cool style
Emo does indeed distinguish itself with hoarse vocals, but it also has to do alot with the melodic way of playing the instruments; a kind approach where you loosen the boundaries that you have in hardcore. It really is just the sound that Rites of Spring started with, that has lived on over the years.
Ppl critisizimg the vocals really need to re-examime their understanding of this whole genre of music in general, and probably a few meighborimg genres
No problem, man. I think about that for some bands; however, then there are bands that I would be in the same boat as you that are indescribable (i.e., Voivod).
Giving them a listen since I'll be seeing them with Brand New in Grand Rapids next month. They remind me a bit of Built to Spill meets Sunny Day Real Estate. I'd rather listen to them opposed to this but to each their own.
To me they're somewhat reminiscent of.... The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die? Plz don't take my word for it as I could be wrong
Music genres are man-made, and not opinion-based. they are well defined and are also not based on lyrics; If you remove the vocals or lyrics from screamo its still screamo, just like if you remove the lyrics from dsbm. Emo is just a word for a sound within the genres of music. Pygmylush don't play emo, but still they make their songs in an emotional/emotive way: /watch?v=ZFJ5Hljykcc
Same...but as they say in their emails, Topshelf Records is literally 2 dudes with other day jobs. I'm pretty patient, partially due to the digital download.
I actually prefer this kind of vocal to the monotone 'hipster singing' you hear a lot these days. At least the singer's actually trying to hit some notes with some emotion behind it, even if the mark isn't always hit.
I would say American Football, Taking Back Sunday, Cap'n Jazz, Modest Mouse, and At the Drive-In for influences?... You shouldn't forget: Fugazi, Embrace, and Rites of Spring then.
Not too many other bands can use such beautiful mixture of bass, guitar, violin, synth. I think the vocal issues are a minor problem when compared to the shear beauty of their musical talent, and I love to hear the violin used like this and on their song ra patera dance, it’s such a beautiful fit with the song.

Yes indeed
Yes again
oh yeahhhhh!

I love the vocals :) regular humans go through difficult struggles, so I like to hear regular people singing.
Turn up the speakers mom
It's my mental breakdown and I get to choose these funky jams

I hope you're out there living life.
Chills just reading it imagining myself there
Wow, the instruments give me a "explosions in the sky" feel, with a emo vibe that is vibrating through out the song.
definitely 'heavily influenced' by explosions in the sky with the 'didididi doo doo' guitar bit
Exactly
My thought was this is Modest Mouse multiplied by Cursive and it’s fucking great. If you like this check out Special Explosion on the same label. So good… and Foxing too.
@@BenCostello-BJC I love Foxing!
whenever i hear the "so when will i see you again?" part i just burst into tears every single time
shut up
This band is so fuckin great. The lyrics are amazing, along with the imperfect vocals, yet fantastic flow and sound. This band really is meaningful. This'll be the shit that 15 years from now I'll look back on and get nostalgic about thinking of how great this band made my life. True talent and beautiful sound.
I felt the same way about Sunny Day Real Estate. And they kinda started this genre almost 20 years ago. you'll like it or LOVE it. ^_^
You have a good concept, and I agree with you fully.

You have an awesome taste in music, did you discover similar good bands over the past 3 years?
8 years left man
6 years left now

Wow. Listening to this on July 4 while watching fireworks was. great experience.

this song makes me want to have an outer body experience and become an innocent woodpecker who will just fly until i die
@@chadwickmcfaggins9734 💯
As a fan of pixies, the vocals don't bother me.
You don't need perfect vocals that sound like every other band to play good music
Early modest mouse too
@@ahsatan8997 im so glad Isaac Brock never tried to fix his lisp, it still comes out even on their most recent stuff

The synth in the beginning and towards the end got me hooked! This song overall is awesome though no doubt.
After 4:10, that's some beautiful noise right there.
It reminds me of old modest mouse
Hearing some of my favorite drumming all year on this record. Fantastic album all around
I just saw them; it was one of the best concerts of my life!
This band is amazing in all aspects, so happy to have discovered them.

Kyle Stone People have a right to leave their opinions.
Kyle Stone the vocals don't even matter when it comes to twiabp. They're instrumentals are so beyond anything else in the genre it's ridiculous lol
People who hate the vocals should take a listen to Cap'n Jazz and realise that emo vocals were always like that: "ugly", yet emotional.
Kyle Stone I don’t like the vocals....
I love your comment but hate the words in it.
sounds like a crazy mix of American Football's technicality and Cap'n Jazz's unpolished, sort of punk sound. I love it so far
scooop a doop uu
Sold on the intro tbh.....

Yessssssss
Have you heard Modern Baseball? They are a similar band to this, and their singer Branden has a voice like that
Modest mouse
You would love Cap n jazz
@@christianhernandez5027 I do like them too!
This song just oozes with vibe and message similar to Night in the Woods... Love it!
I'm so glad I found this. this is amazing!!!!
Had no idea there was a new "Emo revival" I'm surprised this is really good !
Hunter Withrow Thank you I will !
I dig the vocals. Good sound
Cried. Thanks for making this.
such a beautiful sound! and the vocals give it such an edgy mood i love everything about this
And I found another precious song. Really love songs like this
now, its about one year since i move out of my country and left all my close friends behind. And, of course, i made promises like "ill see you again". I fucking miss them and i dont know if I really belong in my new home/city.
Just read about this band in AP....Had to check them out when they dropped Mineral as an influence. Amazing stuff. Reminds me of great music I listened to in High School only with way better production value and a splash more psychedelic. LOVE IT!!!
Emo Will rise again my friends i know this.
With the state of music today, I hope so.
Why do I make the mistake of reading the comments on these videos?
Omg right?!
this probably should have been the true first song on this album. blank is cool and all, but this is amazing
Blank is more or less an intro to this song; I generally consider the two of them as just one song.
they sorta play them that way aswell
a lot of emo and post rock won't have perfect vocals nor will some strive for a "perfect clean" sounding song. It exposes the rawness of the music and tends to emphasise lyrics about hardship and maybe struggle. TWIABP have a cool style
Gonna see these guys live with Dads so excited
Fuck. Can’t believe this record is 10yrs old. I feel like a dinosaur. A kick ass dinosaur with impeccable music taste though.
that's because it's not out yet! You can pre-order it from us or from banquet records.
What an amazing song.. hella atmosphere and that ending is world class man.. 👌🤜🤟🤙
this songs instrumentals give me goosebumps
the one twinkling guitar (from when first vocals come in) is sick
So excited to see these guys with Brand New
Emo does indeed distinguish itself with hoarse vocals, but it also has to do alot with the melodic way of playing the instruments; a kind approach where you loosen the boundaries that you have in hardcore. It really is just the sound that Rites of Spring started with, that has lived on over the years.
ending is surprisingly epic, it keeps me coming back
Without your review I wouldn't have found such a kick ass band.
Thank you for making the My Chemical Romance break up less tragic for me! BRING THE EMO GENRE TO LIFE!
beautiful.
love everything about this
I might get punched in the throat by big fans, but the vocals kinda almost remind me of old Tyler Joseph and I'm loving it
i love both bands so you're cool with me lol
Angie v how though
Clem Time oh god i posted that when i was 15 i apologize lmao
|-/
I live in the UK and cannot find a copy of the album! Heeeelllppp!!!!
Why yes, i do love the vocals.
I'll pick it up from banquet, I live on bus ride away from their shop! Thanks.
damn this was 11 years ago, i'm growing old
Why they aren't very famous?They rock!!!
It shouldn't feel like this, shouldn't feel like this..... IF EVERYYYYONE BELONGS HEREEEE
Ppl critisizimg the vocals really need to re-examime their understanding of this whole genre of music in general, and probably a few meighborimg genres
if people go into midwest emo expecting the best singers they're gonna be disappointed lol
for some reason, the album cover really reminds me of algernon cadwallader's fun album art from a different angle
oh shit
RIP Tom
This is.... unf.... I can't even....
This is my new favorite thing.
This was posted on my birthday.
Discovered this about awhile few days ago, while going through hell. This song makes me wanna live
No problem, man. I think about that for some bands; however, then there are bands that I would be in the same boat as you that are indescribable (i.e., Voivod).
I love this
happy new years guys
I'm seeing them tonight in Asbury, holy shit I'm excited.
Giving them a listen since I'll be seeing them with Brand New in Grand Rapids next month. They remind me a bit of Built to Spill meets Sunny Day Real Estate. I'd rather listen to them opposed to this but to each their own.
no of course i i didn’t just cry to this at 4 am 😳
To me they're somewhat reminiscent of.... The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die? Plz don't take my word for it as I could be wrong
really starting to like this band more :) the name is long af tho
Early modest mouse vibes I love it
Okay the lead singer sounds just like Branden from Modern Baseball
Armin Viteskic oh fuckkkkkk true
This is really good.
Throwback to the sad old days
sounds like dear leap, i like it
That riff around the minute marks sounds like he climax riff of Your Hand In Mine by Explosions in The Sky.
New album Harmlessness, get hyped!
You can probably order it on Top Shelf's website linked in the video description.
The vocals remind me a lot of Sorority Noise and I like that

Or you can get it straight from them online. Also these guys need to come to the UK.
This is awesome, where i can the album though

These guys are actually somewhat reminiscent of Taking Back Sunday's older stuff, now that I think about it.
10 years passing by and im still here !
And the most amazing music I've heard in a long time now comes to an end. Fuck.
I would say American Football, Taking Back Sunday, Cap'n Jazz, Modest Mouse, and At the Drive-In for influences?... You shouldn't forget: Fugazi, Embrace, and Rites of Spring then.
totally underrated band...
Anyone know about more songs like this??

thank you lolina
Reminds me of MOBO in some parts. Fucking loving this band.
