here again after last night’s Signals V2 livestream show. they opened with this song and it was absolutely feral. thursday ruled back then, they rule now, and they always will. this year will be better than the last. 🖤🤘
I just want to say, there was a teenager wearing noise-reducing ear covers at the Thursday show last night at Starland Ballroom, to whom I introduced myself with a 🖖 and as a person on the Spectrum who forgot how loud concerts were but was happy he came, and that I enjoyed the line in Cursive's "Big Bang" ("Where gonna need an expla-naTION, for RATIONAL THOUGHT!") and I really hope I didn't overwhelm him.
I remember watching IMF (international music feed) on cable TV and just watching music videos all day when I was like 13. That's when I discovered Thursday, along with all the other bands that eventually shaped my music taste. Thank you IMF. 🤘🏼
damn. this is one of the most emotionally intense songs i've ever fucking heard. if you don't like posthardcore you at least have to appreciate thursday
"At This Velocity" We were safe, now we're paralyzed Suspended in flight At this speed it makes no difference Where I start and where you end Or if you sit in an emergency aisle We could be dead, complete the equation Our names are X and N We have no value in these calculations We're placed on a plane pointed straight down Traveling at five hundred feet per second Five thousand feet from the ground How long will it take us to hit? How fast till we start the disintegration? No time left - just keep moving No time left - just keep moving How long will it take us to hit? How fast till we start the disintegration? We could be safe here, forever Falling in the clean blue air Somewhere between the sun that gives us light And the ground that puts it out We'll kneel in the aisle, Press our hands together Close our eyes and speak these words So softly to the black box And it goes: "Mother, father can you hear this? I want to thank you for all the sweetness but I'm not coming home, we're never coming home."
Back when he was touring for this album I was at a show he played at and he said this song is about when they were on a plane and they thought they were going to die.
This song AND video is one of the few masterpieces the 2000s offered. They always get thrown under the “emo” genre but this band was so much more. They were alt, post hardcore, punk, emo and all of the rock sound at the time but pushing boundaries. I hate they always got put in that emo corner especially during this era. They really changed the game and paved way for bands like “Drug Church” and many other bands that’s just combined genres. Thursday always makes me think if Billy Corgan and early SP fused with Refused.
People literally label all of our music from the 2000s as emo and it kind of pisses me off. Most of it is post hardcore if anything. To me actual emo is really pussified music.
@@bigrig. I mean if we are getting technical the original "Emo" band wave in the 90s were solid imo. Then the term got thrown around to what it is today for bands like MCR and Fall Out Boy, etc. Those bands are fine and all but I wouldn't have considered them emo till that word was getting tossed around for any bands like that at the time. People call Green Day or like Blink 182 these days which is strange af to me
i saw them with saves the day in 2001 and they made a big in-packed on me and music for there time ! Thursday is my favorite day bc of them , and bc its my day off !
No this is real post-hardcore at its best, almost up there with at the drive-in. There was so much terrible emo music from 2000-2006 that thursday kind of got (when the people you love) lost in the shuffle but they are one of the few that actually has substance to it besides just WAHHH WAHH SCREAM SCREAM MY GIRLFRIEND BROKE UP WITH ME WAAAAAH HEAVY POWER CHORD
This song was so sick, the closest to hardcore they got. So happy to see Geoff doing well with United Nations. It's the direction I was hoping he would take.
This and that envy split. Thursday taking cues from Envy was straight up the best thing Ive ever heard. And then Envy did that song with the the chorus riff mirroring Geoffs vocal melody in running from the rain. Seeing your favourite bands collaborate and make nods to each other is so neat.
I love the route all the Christian bands took 😆 it's like the rock equivalent to R&B back then. much soul and from the heart ... inevitably the last of it's kind unless we return to see what our kids can truly produce.
cross out the eyes is best, so happy to see they reunited and I get to see them in Chicago! I saw gnr last year and Thursday this year?, I'm good to die now son!
@ibanezmetalman that's awesome. i started listening to Thursday and RA when i was 12 (4 years ago) too and Thursday is still one of my favorite bands now (and A City By The Light Divived my favorite album)
I'm black as night and I've been listening to Thursday since the early 2000's.I'm 20 almost 21 and I've listened to everything from The Offspring,Auto-Pilot Off,Thursday,Finch, AFI, Haste the Day... but I do agree with black people and the word emo,I've been called Emo by my own black friends...but yeah fuck the word Emo...this is just good music.
GENRE IS A F*CKING CAGE. We can argue all day about music formats but Thursday is always the best. Way better, more real,meaningful, good to hear than those macho bullsh*t/redundant breakdowns.
@drunkenmunkistyle Lucky man. I'm not a huge fan of Thrice but I love Coheed. I've seen them but only at a festival. And needles to say i'm a huge thursday fan
You're half-right but off the mark by about 10 years. "Emo" was used in the mid to late 80's and was first applied to bands like Rites of Spring and Embrace.
i had a dream last night that i was sitting on top of this very high-standing metal-frame tower and it swayed a lot like if i stood up, i'd make it lean because of how flexible the thing was, and i could see through the metal-frame floor just how high i was. i'v never been so scarred in a dream. might i share
Does anybody out there have or know where to get the "At This Velocity" Demo from 2005? I've been looking for a couple years now... any info would help. Thank you, and thank God for Thursday.
+Kenneth Adame-Smithson This demo isn't too different to the final version, aside from a few different lyrics and a different duration. If you're looking for anything else, hit me up.
okay we were safe, now we're paralyzed suspended in flight at this speed it makes no difference where i start and where i end or if we're sitting in an emergency aisle we could be dead, complete the equation our names are x and n we have no value in these calculations placed on a plane, pointed straight down traveling at 500 feet per second 5000 feet from the ground how long will it take us to hit how fast will we start the disintegration don't die now, just keep moving don't die now, just keep moving how long will it take us to hit how fast will we start the disintegration we could be safe here forever floating in the clean blue air somewhere between the sun that gives us light and the ground that puts it out and we'll kneel in the aisles press our hands together and close our eyes speak these words so softly to the black box, and it goes: mother, father can you hear this? i want to thank you for all of your sweetness i'm not coming home, i'm never coming home
literally, people still argue over genres? lol, you are either in hs or have nothing better to do. its good music, stop hurting yourselves trying to define it.,
Anyone looking for rare Thursday tracks or B-Sides hit me up I'd love to share some of these. I probably have the most complete collection anyone has ever had. Stay True!
+NeuroCalamity If you could hook me up with "Cross Out The Eyes" (Live at The Grove), "Steps Ascending" (Live at The Grove), "How Long Is The Night?" (Live at The Grove), the demo for "Concealer", and the demo for "Telegraph Avenue Kiss" that would be so rad! :)

That outro!!! Such wonderful days, Thursday! I bought this album at Hot Topic, wonderful days!!
wow, the days when hot topic was still original and had great music. thursday rules forever
This album is just banger after banger after banger after banger.
Still holds up!
here again after last night’s Signals V2 livestream show. they opened with this song and it was absolutely feral. thursday ruled back then, they rule now, and they always will. this year will be better than the last. 🖤🤘
"Feral" is absolutely correct.
I just want to say, there was a teenager wearing noise-reducing ear covers at the Thursday show last night at Starland Ballroom, to whom I introduced myself with a 🖖 and as a person on the Spectrum who forgot how loud concerts were but was happy he came, and that I enjoyed the line in Cursive's "Big Bang" ("Where gonna need an expla-naTION, for RATIONAL THOUGHT!") and I really hope I didn't overwhelm him.

Thursday will always be my favorite band ever
damn. this is one of the most emotionally intense songs i've ever fucking heard. if you don't like posthardcore you at least have to appreciate thursday
Amazing to hear this song on 2020 and felt amazed like the first time i've heard it!
"At This Velocity"
We were safe, now we're paralyzed
Suspended in flight
At this speed it makes no difference
Where I start and where you end
Or if you sit in an emergency aisle
We could be dead, complete the equation
Our names are X and N
We have no value in these calculations
We're placed on a plane pointed straight down
Traveling at five hundred feet per second
Five thousand feet from the ground
How long will it take us to hit?
How fast till we start the disintegration?
No time left - just keep moving
No time left - just keep moving
How long will it take us to hit?
How fast till we start the disintegration?
We could be safe here, forever
Falling in the clean blue air
Somewhere between the sun that gives us light
And the ground that puts it out
We'll kneel in the aisle,
Press our hands together
Close our eyes and speak these words
So softly to the black box
And it goes:
"Mother, father can you hear this?
I want to thank you for all the sweetness but
I'm not coming home, we're never coming home."
Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam! I used to play that game all the time!
Back when he was touring for this album I was at a show he played at and he said this song is about when they were on a plane and they thought they were going to die.

Thursday always makes me think if Billy Corgan and early SP fused with Refused.
as a huge refused fan, I could totally see that.
Agreed, Thursday is a versatile band. Their songs have more dimensions than any typical "Emo" band.
People literally label all of our music from the 2000s as emo and it kind of pisses me off. Most of it is post hardcore if anything. To me actual emo is really pussified music.
@@bigrig. I mean if we are getting technical the original "Emo" band wave in the 90s were solid imo.

@@DavidSmith-fj4gh yea you're right. People call so many different bands emo these days it's ridiculous.
I am 31 and seeing them for the first time in august!!! My bros first fave band he is 35. Haha and has seen them many times haha
i saw them with saves the day in 2001 and they made a big in-packed on me and music for there time ! Thursday is my favorite day bc of them , and bc its my day off !
I saw that tour too. they were also with Hey Mercedes.
“in-packed” ??? wow dude. 😒
Soooooo many years and this song still rocks. Thursday is just.....so damn good
God there is no other band that can touch Thursday's early days. So many knock offs but no one can touch the group or the lyrics.
I'd put early Glassjaw above them but Thursday is still incredible
Glassjaw, huh?.. sounds very familiar.. what songs are they known for?
This song is EPIC!!!
You know a music video is good when 5 years has passed and it hasn't hit 100 dislikes.
Nothing doper than this song in concert when that "5k feet per second" shit hits its live af. Saw them at Nintendo tour years ago I believe
yup. Everyone singing that part was the best
I wanna sledghammer my walls down when i listen to this! amazing song
My English teacher introduced me to this band. He's rad.
Not sure what I was expecting having never listened to them before, but this song does not fuck around.
No this is real post-hardcore at its best, almost up there with at the drive-in. There was so much terrible emo music from 2000-2006 that thursday kind of got (when the people you love) lost in the shuffle but they are one of the few that actually has substance to it besides just WAHHH WAHH SCREAM SCREAM MY GIRLFRIEND BROKE UP WITH ME WAAAAAH HEAVY POWER CHORD
Earlier Thursday is even better
@@TouchmyWrath that wah wah my girlfriend left me shit goes hard too 💯💯💯
Just started listening to them and i already LOVE them :))))))
This song was so sick, the closest to hardcore they got. So happy to see Geoff doing well with United Nations. It's the direction I was hoping he would take.

Every Thursday rocks and I feel so alive that I can hear the presence with 5 men going on. 🤘🏾🤪🤘🏾
Floating in the clean blue air somewhere,
between the sun that gives us light
and the ground that puts it out
Tony Hawks Downhill Jam put me on to this song. Never knew the name of the song until now.
Haven't hit play on this track in a while. What a smack
I love the route all the Christian bands took 😆 it's like the rock equivalent to R&B back then. much soul and from the heart ... inevitably the last of it's kind unless we return to see what our kids can truly produce.
That outro tho! So good!
Downhill jam had some bangers
Nice Smashing Pumpkinesque vibes in the outro
i love it whe thursday just makes an amazeing song and then make a ridiculosly awesome music video!!
Thursday are Fxkn Legends!! 🤘
There dope, I instantly liked this group ever since my sister introduced them to me, Plus they from Jersey like me.
Best live band EVER.
These guys are great!
cross out the eyes is best, so happy to see they reunited and I get to see them in Chicago! I saw gnr last year and Thursday this year?, I'm good to die now son!
These guys were like, the Radiohead of emo
lol he gets right into it at the beginning with scream, lol i jumped the volume was on loud. good song!
@ibanezmetalman that's awesome. i started listening to Thursday and RA when i was 12 (4 years ago) too and Thursday is still one of my favorite bands now (and A City By The Light Divived my favorite album)
I just discovered this and man I love it
Woah...A little late... haha
Kevin Li I'm seeing them tomorrow!
you need to listen to Understanding in a Car Crash and Last Call put its been a year so hopefully you have.
Congratulations! Welcome to the club!
i love at 0:49 when the paper sticks to his face lol
Muito top essa música
🤘🤘🤘🤘🇧🇷🇧🇷
Ab __ __So - LuOt😂Ly!❤🎉

Way too good for this planet
Very avant garde song
What an insane song topic though
LOVE THIS SONG
DaMm that year so fuckin cool. 18 no responsibilities, hanging out with friends and great fuckin music being pumped out by the month. 🤘🏽🤙🏽
still listening. One of the greats
Maybe this is th most heavy 2 minutes of a song from them..I love Thursday but sadly they unknowed here in Argentina..
I'm black as night and I've been listening to Thursday since the early 2000's.I'm 20 almost 21 and I've listened to everything from The Offspring,Auto-Pilot Off,Thursday,Finch, AFI, Haste the Day... but I do agree with black people and the word emo,I've been called Emo by my own black friends...but yeah fuck the word Emo...this is just good music.
Favourite Thursday song. It's a hard choice, though.
greatest band of all time here folks.
GENRE IS A F*CKING CAGE. We can argue all day about music formats but Thursday is always the best. Way better, more real,meaningful, good to hear than those macho bullsh*t/redundant breakdowns.
Great show last friday.
Such a great music video
I love this song omg
this is hardcore !!!!yeeeaa¡¡¡
OMG it's been sooooo long.
awesome!
Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam
Deftones vibes in this song 🤘🏼🎸🥁
Great show at The carioca club Brasil
Awesome :)

You're half-right but off the mark by about 10 years. "Emo" was used in the mid to late 80's and was first applied to bands like Rites of Spring and Embrace.
@Hans0622 Yeah, I neevr got to see them live either, i've been listening to them for 4 years now
dope
500ft/s, 5000ft high, pointed straight down. How long? I'd say around 10 seconds

It's 2021 and i'm still listening to this while the whole world is in pandemic.
2022
Nostalgic

NEVER COMING HOME
I was going to say something, but forgot it because of the awesomeness.
@wayne7001 post-hardcore perhaps? Least is where I put glassjaw, screamo I consider Poison the well, dunno, it's hard to know
2020!
okay
we were safe, now we're paralyzed
suspended in flight
at this speed it makes no difference
where i start and where i end
or if we're sitting in an emergency aisle
we could be dead, complete the equation

traveling at 500 feet per second
5000 feet from the ground
how long will it take us to hit
how fast will we start the disintegration
don't die now, just keep moving
don't die now, just keep moving
how long will it take us to hit
how fast will we start the disintegration
we could be safe here forever
floating in the clean blue air
somewhere between the sun that gives us light and the ground that puts it out
and we'll kneel in the aisles
press our hands together and close our eyes
speak these words so softly
to the black box, and it goes:
mother, father can you hear this?
i want to thank you for all of your sweetness
i'm not coming home, i'm never coming home
If you got the thursday dove tatted on you then your true emo ... my first tat
I feel bad for the person who had to clean that up ;-; i Love Thursday + Geoff :)
literally, people still argue over genres? lol, you are either in hs or have nothing better to do. its good music, stop hurting yourselves trying to define it.,
I feel bad for the person to had to clean that up ;-; i Love Thursday + Geoff :)
Falling at 5,000 Ft/Sec at an altitude of 5,000 Ft means you'll disintegrate in 1 second.
@MYmalevolentMIND is it?! wow I'm now even more bummed :(
@Megatherionmms He was saying he wants them to get out of breaking up......

What are you looking for specifically?

I got all that jazz man, give me a day or two and I'll get it to you. I don't have internet at the crib right now and I'm at work but stay posted.
Sounds awesome! Thank you!
I wonder if that's actually Geoff's parents in the video?
