    Seriously... I, just by absolute chance stumbled across "The Silence" this afternoon. I had never heard of you guys before, nor any of your creations. Its like your music hits a spot that is rarely touched even by music that's attached to memories from the past.
    This stuff is special. As weak as that sounds, I'm sorry I wish I could explain much better but that's all I can offer, I'm speechless. Thank you

    I - much like others who have commented before me below - am in my sixties and I have only recently 'discovered' this amazing band in the last two weeks or so, their beautiful music, their thought provoking lyrics and their videos which take the viewer on a journey through life. This song and its lyrics and video tug and pull so very much on my emotional heart strings. This look back on the lives of the ones that we love so very much turns me into EMOTIONAL JELLO each and every time that I look at and listen to it - which is often. Thank you so very much for writing and recording this song. It is one which will I keep and treasure in my heart until I take my last breath in this life. I am truly and completely emotionally smitten! 🥰

    (Updated) LYRICS:
    The lights were low enough, you guessed
    You swapped your conscience with your father's medication
    Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville
    And on the way wrote out a self-made declaration
    And when you got to Pleasant Hill
    You forced the traffic to erase your family demons
    I made a pact with you and God
    If you don't move, I swear to you I'm gonna make you
    Do you need me?
    Do you need me?
    Do you need me?
    Do you need me?
    When the first officer arrived
    It happened to be the high school bully of your brother
    When you finally recognized
    You felt some guilt that you had even let him touch you
    "Can you hear me? What's your name?"
    You could not speak, just laid amazed at all the damage
    As the high school's letting out
    All the kids saying the same thing that they used to
    It's an alien
    It's an alien
    It's an alien
    It's an alien
    The lights were low enough, you guessed
    Hospital food, there's never enough medication
    The doctor asked about your ears
    You said your mom said you were made from a revelation
    But revelation never scares
    Your fear came from your drunken dad and a pair of scissors
    Were you just finally letting go?
    Did you mean to take out all those people with you?
    Didn't mean to
    Didn't mean to
    Didn't mean to
    Didn't mean to
    Oh, I didn't mean to
    (Take the time to terrify the throne)
    Oh, I didn't mean to
    (You'll never let it go)
    No, I didn't mean to
    (Take the time to terrify the throne)
    Oh, I didn't mean to
    (They'll never let you go)
    Time is here to take your last amendments
    And believe them on your own
    Time is here to take you by the hand
    And lead you there alone
    Time has come to take the last commandment
    And to carve it in your stone
    Time has come to take you by the hand
    And leave you here alone

    сто раз прослушиваю ваши произведения и не устаю удивляться, как тонко вы умеете передать чувства волнующие всех.Я ещё не перевела текст этой песни но уже уловила смысл для этого не нужно перевода.Мне очень нравится ваше творчество, успехов вам! И хотя мы живём в разных уголках света мы все одинаковые и проблемы нас мучают похожие, такие же.Каждый знает,что жизнь прожить не поле перейти.Всё бывает в этой жизни и плохое, и хорошее.Но все хотят быть нужными и необходимыми и это так важно когда ты нужен.Спасибо

    This song is so addicting. I haven't been able to resist listening to it at least twice a day, since I first heard it back in July of last year. I'm new to this band, and although I've listened to and liked their previous albums, A Black Mile To The Surface is such an amazing album, with songs that beg to be played, again and again. It's such a departure from their earlier albums (I mean that in the nicest and respectful way possible), and I hope their next album sounds similar to this. This album + I Know How To Speak...easily in my top five most loved albums of all time. I'm 42, and I have listened to a LOT of music, but there is something so extraordinary about this album, Andy Hull's voice, and the entire band as a whole.

    Thank you, Manchester Orchestra. Your videos are always filled with so much wonderful aesthetics and love and feeling, and your music, oh my god. Your music is so emotional and Andy's voice is so powerful and Robert, Prince and Tim are KILLING IT, I wonder if you guys will ever do a purely instrumental album??? Your delivery with each lyric. strum of a chord or beat of a drum is so heartbreaking and amazing in this song (and many of MO's other songs) , I honestly cannot get enough of you guys. Also shout out to the director! Mike's eye for storytelling in each of his videos is so inspiring. Please keep up all the astounding work you guys are doing. Been a fan for 7+ years and i will continue support you as a fan for as long as you walk the earth. Thank you guys again.

      My childhood was full of domestic violence, carried the weight all my life. But recently I been able to go to specific parts with my inner child guiding me, I was able to cut the chains that kept the little me stuck, little me kept showing up till one night I said let’s do this.. heartbreaking and terrifying, I was shaking. Now the wound has been released, it’s in the open and healing. Don’t forget to always use your imagination, it was given to us as a gift when we were little kids for a reason, it’s hard cuz our parents cut our wings. But dig deeper you will find it again. Sending much love to you 🥺♥️

      It's obviously wrong of him to say that to your mother, and my heart goes out to her. But just think maybe, maybe he's a broken man. I've gone through this with my parents too, it is absolutely devastating to witness especially as a child and makes you feel so helpless. But now I'm older I realise he needs healing in his heart and soul. I know this might not be helpful except to think that maybe he's not a bad person, but a damaged one 😥💔

      It doesn't matter WHEN you discovered Manchester Orchestra. All that matters is that you found them.

Also, the song I Know How To Speak, which they released a few months ago, is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
