It sucks being someone who’s never got into them forever and then really liking like ten songs and realizing they probably won’t make any other songs ever when all you want is more of this and it don’t exist anywhere
had i not actually bought the "Frances the Mute" album... i would not have forced myself to listen to it after deciding i didnt like it.... what a tragedy that would have been for my teenage self.... this band opened doors in my mind that i didn't even know were there.
Clever Metaphor this happened to me but with Coheed's Silent Earth 3. A local radio station gave it to me and I hated every song except "Favor House Atlantic". Thankfully I forced myself throughout that year to listen to the whole thing.
@@dasenase I bought in keeping secrets in high school, and gave it away. And proceeded to make fun of anyone that liked them. Then like 5 years ago i listened to them again, and fell in love with all of their music.
@@sentientcardboarddumpster7900 I had this one. Thought the cover looked cool but maybe listened to like 1/2 a song before I put it back in the case. Then one night my Mom went to some sporting event at the high school or something I decided to stay in the car and got bored. It was the only cd in the car so I just popped it in and listened to the whole thing. I ended up loving it! Lol
I was with my fiance for 10 years before we broke up, After she had my child she lost her mind, lost custody of my son and never wants to speak to me again. This song almost makes me cry everytime I hear it. Cant get enough, thank you so much for your words Cedric.
You had the blessing of have your child, I lost three of them, they didn't made it (sorry about my grammar), I wish you can always be in touch with your son, I will look my kids every time I look up to the stars. Stay strong!
One day the rain will come and wash away the earth that held us was no island. 2024. Still here listening to the extension of Led Zeppelin. Thank you for making music
Octahedron is best Mars Volta. De loused is normiest Mars Volta. Frances is darkest Mars Volta. Bedlam is evilest Mars Volta. Tremulant is first Mars Volta. Amputecture is Samba-est Mars Volta. Nocturniquet is (mercifully) last Mars Volta.
Every time I come back to this video it makes me sad. To think I'll never see these guys live again. Never hear that sweet familiar horn intro as they make their way onstage. Why'd it have to be The Mars Volta? Why not any other band? Come back to us.
I was disappointed that I never got to see The Mars Volta live but then I got the opportunity to see At the drive-in when they came to az on 05/08/17. Hopefully when they need more money they make a Mars Volta Tour.
Still here in 2020 from the depths of quarantine. I'm so thankful for the art this group of individuals created. They will never know the joy and creative energy that they brought into my life. I know I'll probably never get to see them live again; and I must admit I'm still salty that we never got that live DVD that Omar always mentioned they were filming, but the memories and experiences will stay with me always. I've never seen or heard anything like The Mars Volta, and even after listening to their songs 100+ times over the years I'm still hearing new things in the layers of music. I would definitely choose this band's catalog of albums to take on a deserted island. I will never get sick of their unique blend of styles and raw energy. RIP Ikey RIP Jeremy I was so thankful to hear that Juan is still with us and recovering. THANK YOU to anyone that played a part in this group over the years, you honestly changed my life in ways I never thought possible. Take care.
I love TMV. Favorite band ever. I miss this band, and I will forever come back to their amazing style of music. I absolutely love Cedric Bixler Zavala. His voice takes me places. Eargasm.
Do you remember how you wore that dress? It slit my sight beneath the eyelids Do you remember what you said to me? What course has given you the right to stray? And in your living tomb I'm stuck but safe The clocks are ticking fast with every breath Since we've been wrong I've been part awake Since we've been wrong You will never ever know me What took you so long? I'm not sure all the way But my heart it asks just one more time Are you still a mess? One day a rain will come to wash away The earth that held us was no island I have become ingrown inside this skin I'll find a way out through those eyelids When all the days become a castaway I seem to think I don't belong here Since we've been wrong I've been part awake Since we've been wrong You will never ever know me What took you so long? I'm not sure all the way But my heart it asks just one more time Are you still a mess? I don't belong here, I shouldn't stay What falls inside me grows empty The walls between us will never break Just seal it shut, it grows empty Since we've been wrong I've been part awake Since we've been wrong You will never ever know me What took you so long? I'm not sure all the way Since we've been wrong I've been part awake Since we've been wrong You will never ever know me What took you so long? I'm not sure all the way But my heart it asks just one more time Are you still a mess?
If it wasn’t for this song and album, I wouldn’t be listening to bands like Dream Theater, BTBAM, Soilwork, Opeth, and Devin Townsend to name a few. Thank you The Mars Volta.
This song makes me so sad. It makes me think of the good times I had with my friends when used to jam, and now a lot of us have split for reasons I can't even remember. I miss that.
Do you remember how you wore that dress? It slipped my sight beneath the eye glint Do you remember what you said to me? What course has given you the right, to stray? And in your living tune unstuck my teeth The clocks are ticking fast with every breath Since we've been wrong I've been poured away Since we've been wrong You will never ever know me What took you so long? I'm not sure all the way But my heart it has just one more time And Luseal remains One day a rain will come to wash away The earth that held us was no island I have become ingrown inside this skin I found a way out through those eyelids When all the days become a castaway I seem to think I don't belong here Since we've been wrong I've been poured away Since we've been wrong You will never ever…
I saw the beginning of the band and they accompanied me over many years. Their music has inspired me , touched my soul and gave me power in many lonely moments of my life ... But when they went , I was not sad but glad about their music they left behind and the years that were me their music a good companion and friend ... I thank you for that!
I remember an ex girfriend told me... "You always listen to this type of songs" and this was on my mp3 player in the car. I really don't know what she was referring to. I never asked though. Maybe slow type of songs, melancholic songs. I don't know, but I remember her when I listen to this song. The lyrics perfectly fit.
Album affascinante, atmosfere rilassate e sognanti, la voce di Cedric molto espressiva e senza forzature... amo tutti gli LP dei Mars Volta ma questo, forse...
Also I oded and died yesterday being a recovering heroin addict I've oded 3x not including this one . but this was the most jarring I saw and heard shit I never believed in
I didn't like any of their songs first time i heard them, but their one of my favorite bands. I bought all the albums some twice because the CD got lost, stolen, or scratched up. That was over 10 years ago when I was in high school and I'm still listening.
All their albums were brilliant. This unfortunately followed their best album in Bedlam in Goliath, although most people would say Deloused or Frances was their best. Who knows?
For me it will always be Frances. Every track is great but Cassandra Gemini just takes it to a whole 'nother level. imo one of the greatest tracks ever.
One of my best friends introduced me to them years ago. About a year ago, they decided that I was no longer worth their time. ZERO explanation as to why! They just completely changed.... this song reminds me of that sadly
Elizabeth Lopez woah, I don’t think it’s that personal. They did what they wanted, and I applaud them for that alone. I think it’s important that artists are authentic.
For what it's worth, the exact same thing has happened to me not one but several times. It's certainly taken a toll on my general happiness and openness but I guess it's one of those things we need to accept whether or not we understand them. This quote by Aldous Huxley is the closest I can get to an answer, I hope it helps (you have my sympathy): "It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig. Lightly, lightly - it’s the best advice ever given me. When it comes to dying even. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic. No rhetoric, no tremolos, no self conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell. And of course, no theology, no metaphysics. Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling, on tiptoes and no luggage, not even a sponge bag, completely unencumbered". PS - Great song, by the way XD
I know that feeling. Of my 6 best friends from high school, 2 are dead, 1 moved away, and 2 of them did the same thing you describe here. Only have 1 left from those days now. Getting old sucks.
Nope. It's been like almost 3 years now. I doubt they'll be back. If necessary, look up Cedric and Omar's new band Antemasque and their self titled debut album
Completely differente song styles, cant say one is better than the other. This song is beautiful and melodic, Scissor is powerful and energetic, you cant just compare a ballad to post hardcore punk.

Man i miss the Mars Volta....
And at the drive in
My electric planet has them captive; it's on my UA-cam channel. 👽👁️
We all do, mi amigo. We all do.
Me tooooo
It sucks being someone who’s never got into them forever and then really liking like ten songs and realizing they probably won’t make any other songs ever when all you want is more of this and it don’t exist anywhere

Still here....
Same here
theyll never leave my heart
Love the Volta
I never left!
Never left. Mars 4 life

Literally the exact same thing happened to me. Decided it wasn’t for me, put it down for about 2 years then realised it’s a masterpiece
Like myself, Im sure everyone who stops everything to listen to this song, does so with just one person in mind.
Unfortunately, you are 100% correct for me..❤
Ya Cedric bixler Zavala 😂

They're back now brother. See em while you cant
Rest in peace Mars Volta: 2001-2012.
+William Glover I think you mean 2012
John Thompson Fine, I'll edit it.
They may come back now that Omar and Cedric are cool with each other again
2001-2013.
Edit: nevermind they're back
2019 - ?
"Octahedron" is one of the underrated album of Mars Volta. I love it!
I fully agree, Its one of the albums that really changed my life
@@karlstrausside107 : same experience. ;)
@@daviderusso1238
P
Agreed... I would have ended the album with this song instead of starting it with it though
@@neilpatrickhairless I share the same thought
Play this at my funeral best of the best !!
Octahedron was brilliant! So underrated.
HotSauceBurritos ok.
It rings true to the core
Octahedron is best Mars Volta. De loused is normiest Mars Volta. Frances is darkest Mars Volta. Bedlam is evilest Mars Volta. Tremulant is first Mars Volta. Amputecture is Samba-est Mars Volta. Nocturniquet is (mercifully) last Mars Volta.
Best album of theirs by far tbh. 10/10 in my book.
@@ersatzmachine5732 "Tremulant is first Mars Volta" 🤣🤣
Every time I come back to this video it makes me sad.
To think I'll never see these guys live again. Never hear that sweet familiar horn intro as they make their way onstage.
Why'd it have to be The Mars Volta? Why not any other band?
Come back to us.
Arcangel De Metal Antemasque happened.
If you think antemasque was why the mars volta disbanded you're an idiot
I don't. The Mars Volta disbanded for a lot of reasons. But Antemasque is where Cedric and Omar are now, aren't they. And not with Volta.
antemasque doesnt even really exist anymore. omar and cedric are fully committed to at the drive in
I was disappointed that I never got to see The Mars Volta live but then I got the opportunity to see At the drive-in when they came to az on 05/08/17. Hopefully when they need more money they make a Mars Volta Tour.

All of this. This band truly changed my life!
Beauty much missed! Most appreciated!!!
Que hermosas palabras!
I feel like this post is due for an update
This song has such great lyrics and when the drums kick in its priceless.
I just love that last bit of Omar and Cedric saluting a public, its so cute. Such an iconic duo, I love them to death.
...the emotion one song can evoke
Rip Ikey that clip with the rain wash away lyrics got me 🧿
I love TMV. Favorite band ever. I miss this band, and I will forever come back to their amazing style of music. I absolutely love Cedric Bixler Zavala. His voice takes me places. Eargasm.
Do you remember how you wore that dress?
It slit my sight beneath the eyelids
Do you remember what you said to me?
What course has given you the right to stray?
And in your living tomb I'm stuck but safe
The clocks are ticking fast with every breath
Since we've been wrong
I've been part awake
Since we've been wrong
You will never ever know me
What took you so long?
I'm not sure all the way
But my heart it asks just one more time
Are you still a mess?
One day a rain will come to wash away
The earth that held us was no island
I have become ingrown inside this skin
I'll find a way out through those eyelids
When all the days become a castaway
I seem to think I don't belong here
Since we've been wrong
I've been part awake
Since we've been wrong
You will never ever know me
What took you so long?
I'm not sure all the way
But my heart it asks just one more time
Are you still a mess?
I don't belong here, I shouldn't stay
What falls inside me grows empty
The walls between us will never break
Just seal it shut, it grows empty
Since we've been wrong
I've been part awake
Since we've been wrong
You will never ever know me
What took you so long?
I'm not sure all the way
Since we've been wrong
I've been part awake
Since we've been wrong
You will never ever know me
What took you so long?
I'm not sure all the way
But my heart it asks just one more time
Are you still a mess?
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I'm still a mess
If it wasn’t for this song and album, I wouldn’t be listening to bands like Dream Theater, BTBAM, Soilwork, Opeth, and Devin Townsend to name a few. Thank you The Mars Volta.
I have to see The Mars Volta because of their comeback. I just started getting into them few years after the hiatus
This song sends electric pulses all through me and fills my mind with the most haunting visages
This song makes me so sad. It makes me think of the good times I had with my friends when used to jam, and now a lot of us have split for reasons I can't even remember.
I miss that.
3:35 hits me right in the heart every time
Thomas Pridgen is so crisp on this album. Top notch drumming and it hits me too
The bassline is so so good
Do you remember how you wore that dress?
It slipped my sight beneath the eye glint
Do you remember what you said to me?
What course has given you the right, to stray?
And in your living tune unstuck my teeth
The clocks are ticking fast with every breath
Since we've been wrong
I've been poured away
Since we've been wrong
You will never ever know me
What took you so long?
I'm not sure all the way
But my heart it has just one more time
And Luseal remains
One day a rain will come to wash away
The earth that held us was no island
I have become ingrown inside this skin
I found a way out through those eyelids
When all the days become a castaway
I seem to think I don't belong here
Since we've been wrong
I've been poured away
Since we've been wrong
You will never ever…
So heartbroken I never got to see them live. 😭 I'm so in love with their music.
Yeah fuck my life too
What a time to be alive.
CONGRATS! New tour announced
Welcome.
Universal Mars Volta. Next scene.
Cedric. And John. I'm listening.. to the song.
Hear me.
My God , what a masterpiece..fuck .. Im chilled to the Bones what a stonishing song..
I saw the beginning of the band and they accompanied me over many years. Their music has inspired me , touched my soul and gave me power in many lonely moments of my life ... But when they went , I was not sad but glad about their music they left behind and the years that were me their music a good companion and friend ... I thank you for that!
"The walls between us will never break..." ;_;
Song is brilliant! Out of this world! To All in these comments, it is 2022! Volta is back! There new Vinyl is arriving to my casa Wed! Rejoice! 😎
this song is so beautiful... missed it :*
The new album is great 2023
Please, come back! We miss you together
💯
Vuelvo a escucharlos a meses de ver su reencuentro, gracias por existir TMV
I remember an ex girfriend told me... "You always listen to this type of songs" and this was on my mp3 player in the car. I really don't know what she was referring to. I never asked though. Maybe slow type of songs, melancholic songs. I don't know, but I remember her when I listen to this song. The lyrics perfectly fit.
Mayhap that she meant the good music hermano
probably one of my favorite music videos
Finally, a song without the comments turned off.
One of my favorite bands of all time
the dirty guitar riff sounds like one you’d hear on the radio at 3am when most of the world is asleep..and you feel sleepy but you can’t sleep
thank you for everything
Ikey
2022 anybody?
yep
Last Sunday of 2021 reminiscing back in the Dayz as a teen getting high with my cousins jamming on the volta
I like the footage in this video. the song is so, so
long live TMV
yall need a "Let it Be" movie where you post the video footage of your creation of an album(s). I pay you moneyz
they just recently announced a documentary
incredible song
Miss you ikey
and I'm gone. you guys never fail to get inside my head. :)
What an overlooked song iv never heard such an eargasim with amazing lyrics to go with.
Yep me too. Every f....ing day.
Best band ever.
you have no taste
I mss the Mars volta
Album affascinante, atmosfere rilassate e sognanti, la voce di Cedric molto espressiva e senza forzature... amo tutti gli LP dei Mars Volta ma questo, forse...
un capolavoro!
Such a sad yet beautiful song.

what a throwback
This song gives me goosebumps.
What a moving and beautiful song!
This song still tears me open to the core.
Have you heard their new album?
I can’t wait to see them this summer. I used to live in El Paso and have been to the bar he owns called hope and anchor
Also I oded and died yesterday being a recovering heroin addict I've oded 3x not including this one . but this was the most jarring I saw and heard shit I never believed in
I hope you are doing better now
Damn bro hopefully you are doing better.
The only so-called pop album I will always love
Desperate for your follow up on this one
Ahaha
Still amazed
never understood why they called this their pop album, noctourniquet is much poppier but even that is far disconnected
Cedric at the end "call me baby" xD
I didn't like any of their songs first time i heard them, but their one of my favorite bands. I bought all the albums some twice because the CD got lost, stolen, or scratched up. That was over 10 years ago when I was in high school and I'm still listening.
Great band ... Please come back!!
SHE HAS SUCH A SWEET VOICE
he*
wtf NO WAY DOG!@@joshtowers6102
🤣🤣🤣
I just keep on carving more and more for this song
Shielding life
I love this
I remember when they said they were writing their next album as a pop rock record.. we all laughed in unison lol.. and then.. it worked out
爱，from Malaysia! :)
All their albums were brilliant. This unfortunately followed their best album in Bedlam in Goliath, although most people would say Deloused or Frances was their best. Who knows?
Theodore years>pridgen years
amputechture is my favorite- greatest number of good tmv songs in my opinion, but all of their albums are above average
For me it will always be Frances. Every track is great but Cassandra Gemini just takes it to a whole 'nother level. imo one of the greatest tracks ever.
@@dyldo1783 agreed.
Frances, look for the *Frances the unmuted tapes*
I knew when this song came on that it was never going to work or last for us....and we were both right...
2024
One of my best friends introduced me to them years ago. About a year ago, they decided that I was no longer worth their time. ZERO explanation as to why! They just completely changed.... this song reminds me of that sadly
Elizabeth Lopez woah, I don’t think it’s that personal. They did what they wanted, and I applaud them for that alone. I think it’s important that artists are authentic.
he's talking about his friend not the band
For what it's worth, the exact same thing has happened to me not one but several times. It's certainly taken a toll on my general happiness and openness but I guess it's one of those things we need to accept whether or not we understand them.
This quote by Aldous Huxley is the closest I can get to an answer, I hope it helps (you have my sympathy):
"It’s dark because you are trying too hard.
Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly.
Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.
Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.
I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig.
Lightly, lightly - it’s the best advice ever given me.
When it comes to dying even. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic.
No rhetoric, no tremolos,
no self conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell.
And of course, no theology, no metaphysics.
Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light.
So throw away your baggage and go forward.
There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet,
trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.
That’s why you must walk so lightly.
Lightly my darling,
on tiptoes and no luggage,
not even a sponge bag,
completely unencumbered".
PS - Great song, by the way XD
