This song walked with me through eight long years of incarceration. I never skipped it when it shuffled in on my prison-issued mp3 player. It always calmed me and helped me recall the people who love me, the whole reason I was dragging myself through it day after day.
Their songs always make me think of a band of gnomes travelling through a forest, gathering people as they go and playing delightful music. In the best way.
This song takes me away. Wherever I am, no matter what mood I'm in, or what kind of day I've had,this song sweeps me off my feet and takes me into a world without words, just happy, peaceful, nothingness.
Wow. I had no idea Darren's brother was in this. I discovered their music while wandering around Fashion's Night Out, happening upon their unbelievable music in a store and wound up staying for what felt like hours. I also ran into my cousin's girlfriend, and found out her sister is marrying the drummer. Not only can I say that I love their music but when she introduced me to them they were so incredibly nice and talented and humble. Simply an amazing band, with amazing music. Enough said.
I heard this band mentioned on a question and answer series on UA-cam. I thought I'd come check it out. Now I have downloaded at least 8 of their songs. I didn't know what Chuck was Darren's brother for ages. I love both for different reasons and both are so amazingly talented and brilliant. How lucky their patents must be.
@hottypiollina oo you suggested sia which means the other two will already be amazing in my book. thank you very much. new music is always a good thing.
Idk I think its interesting to see how people heard of certain artists. I found out about them from an unlikely band- Basement in their documentary Basement and America. I personally think its interesting that a band like them led me HERE. and now I can fully enjoy Freelance Whales with the rest of you.
im gonna look bck at this song and itz gonna remind me of being a teenager...just hanging out in my room...walking to skool...laughing with friends...and having a crush on Mr.Perfect:):)
i dont normally buy music... im a BIG lady gaga fan and i ashamedly admit i didnt buy her albums :x (i went to her concert and brought heaps of merch dw :P) But for this band... WOW they are amazing. buying off itunes. IMMEDIATELY.

I feel like an idiot for just discovering this. These people. This music. I only discovered it because Darren Criss told Ellen his brother in this (and fangirl me went "OOOHHH AAHHH :D"), and I feel like an IDIOT because they're bloody AMAZING.
@hottypiollina That is very true.... I love most Indie bands... And I love the fact that some people try and compare music to me, and I can introduce them to New, Wonderful Bands they other wise may never hear.... Then again sometimes, I'm kinda selfish and save my favorites for just me, or REALLY good friends, I know will love the music..... And not just say they do because it's "Cool"
@wishesoutofairplanes I have some more.... Neon Hitch... She does some covers, But I love her voice... The Postal Service, Natasha Bedingfield... Kerli... Not the same Genre,But I love her. Off with her head... It is a local band here in North Texas, But It is SIMPLY Beautiful....
@AceAndThings I actually tried to look that up, but I would have to become a member to use the search bar. I believe you, of course, and I prefer your interpretation over mine. Thanks!
@MoistCrayon you're amazing! it's gonna be awhile til i can take the time to look through all of your suggestions. i have 6 finals in the next two weeks.....
@darrencrissisHOT EXACTLY... I mean. I want people to know of their Awesomeness, but I do enjoy having "Secret Music" Just for me and a rainy day..... lol I completley understand what you are saying..... I feel the Exact same way about Freelance Whales.... :)
Do you ever play with kids in the basement Soot upon your face so you were a hot mess All your little molars cracked in the pressure Come here little sister, let's get you to bed But oh you caught me sleeping in the power sockets You caught me mildew in the tiles of the bathroom And oh you shot a glance like I was doing okay Oh I am never on my way Do you ever run with him in the morning Think about jumping over the back fence Seven different places need a bitter mending All we use are eyes to fill in most the gaps But oh you caught me sleeping in the power sockets You caught me mildew in the tiles of the bathroom And oh you shot a glance like I was doing okay Oh I am never on my way The reasons my molars are so broken Is I spend too much time ghosting With the likes of you and yours The reasons my insides are swollen Is I spend too much time ghosting With the likes of you and yours

Time passes. The feeling remains.
True that ma’am
i remember listening to this song in 2012, still reminds me of my days in arakansas, good times they were, ill always miss you julie :')
Their songs always make me think of a band of gnomes travelling through a forest, gathering people as they go and playing delightful music. In the best way.
RIP Chuck, what an amazing time ive had enjoying this song over the years. Thank you
Nearly 10 years later goddamn

So glad Grooveshark had Freelance Whales backgrounds that led me to their awesomeness over a year ago...
probably one of my all-time favorite Freelance Whales song... or just song in general.
I was listening to Lucius (a band) on soundcloud and they brought me here. Both bands are pure awesomness.

it is possible LOL
Yep, Lucius' was just a cover, but it was so good
Lucius just recorded & released this song and that’s what brought me here!
they have such a unique sound
I can't believe I even let myself forget how flawless freelance whales are.
I heard this band mentioned on a question and answer series on UA-cam. I thought I'd come check it out. Now I have downloaded at least 8 of their songs.

People should take notes from this on how to make beautiful music.
Love the voice of Judah the mayority of his song transport to a completely different place
this song makes u wanna look at ur life closer
it's amazing how their musc actually flows in the rythm that a whale swims, it's so /graceful/
@hottypiollina oo you suggested sia which means the other two will already be amazing in my book. thank you very much. new music is always a good thing.
it's sad that there is not even a quarter of a mil. views for this song...they deserve a massive fan base.
It's so beautiful!
i'm here because i was looking at my favourite bieber, one direction videos and this mainstream band came up on adds...
this song is magical :3
@Saubey I was thinking something VERY similar.... This band is my ADDICTION now.... I utterly Love them.
This song helps me think less. Thanks for the escape Freelance Whales.
I found this off of someones Tumblr. (:
It's peaceful & serene songs like this that made me completely ditch screamo.

"But, yes, the record is also about this pre-adolescent love story between a young boy and this ghost that occupies his house. ‘Ghosting’, for instance, is about him observing what she does around the house and he is sort of thinking that some day when he passes on he will have to take responsibility for her, so he’s kind of trying to emulate her."

This is awesome.
Absolutely awesome

@adamazingsauce Chuck Criss, brother of a recently popular Darren Criss. he sent me here, and I'm glad I came =)
Yes! So good. They're playing for free at my local record store soon! Yipee!!!
I feel like an idiot for just discovering this. These people. This music. I only discovered it because Darren Criss told Ellen his brother in this (and fangirl me went "OOOHHH AAHHH :D"), and I feel like an IDIOT because they're bloody AMAZING.
i get lost in this song, i dont even feel human when i listen to it
There´s a terribly sad feeling in this song...
Excellent.
Reminds me of Death Cab for Cutie
*Cries thinking how insanely in love he is.*
This is a lullaby.
I like songs that remove you from the world and bring you to that place that only you can go to.

Slightly reminds me of MGMT... love it :D
damn, that whamming guitar i good^^
@AceAndThings I actually tried to look that up, but I would have to become a member to use the search bar. I believe you, of course, and I prefer your interpretation over mine. Thanks!
@MuDkIpZBIP I love it when music does that. It happens to me too.
Well Put My Friend
Reminds me of Sigur Ros.
@wishesoutofairplanes you can try listening to " the antlers" "the weepies" "sia".... good luck
I discovered your comment by going on UA-cam.
@MoistCrayon you're amazing! it's gonna be awhile til i can take the time to look through all of your suggestions. i have 6 finals in the next two weeks.....
aaaah bliss.... :)

I completley understand what you are saying..... I feel the Exact same way about Freelance Whales.... :)
@HateHector There will always be haters. Just ignore them when possible. Unless it would be really, really fun to go after them.
Do you ever play with kids in the basement
Soot upon your face so you were a hot mess
All your little molars cracked in the pressure
Come here little sister, let's get you to bed
But oh you caught me sleeping in the power sockets
You caught me mildew in the tiles of the bathroom
And oh you shot a glance like I was doing okay
Oh I am never on my way
Do you ever run with him in the morning
Think about jumping over the back fence
Seven different places need a bitter mending
All we use are eyes to fill in most the gaps
But oh you caught me sleeping in the power sockets
You caught me mildew in the tiles of the bathroom
And oh you shot a glance like I was doing okay
Oh I am never on my way
The reasons my molars are so broken
Is I spend too much time ghosting
With the likes of you and yours
The reasons my insides are swollen
Is I spend too much time ghosting
With the likes of you and yours
Can't believe it's been 10 years
Seeing Bright Eyes on the sidebar must be a sign of whatill be doing for the next few hours, bye everybody!
hey people.
WHO CARES HOW WE DISCOVERED IT. WE'RE HERE NOW, AREN'T WE?
@yake12 Darren Criss is Chuck Criss's brother
@PenguinsWrite Yes, Judah said this in a recent interview on tourdates.co.uk

I listened to this when I was depressed about being gay.
ThePoonDoctor better gay and human than straight and human lets b real
I am you from the past
Me too 😢
RIP Chuck
@SendMeBelow22 Ghosting is a term for when someone is smoking and they hold it in long enough no smoke goes out.
