"Nothing, Save The Power They're Given"
"These words might mean nothing
But it's a chance I'm willing to take
Cause maybe I'm wrong and lives can change
I'm singing out of my insecurity
So someone, somewhere might be impacted by what I've made
I fidget and sway back and forth
Biting my nails down until they bleed
There is a lie that I've believed
I'd tell you, but I'm so scared of what you'd think
So I apologize if I've caused you to wake
Just close your eyes and let the beat rock you back to sleep
I'll tell you in the morning
About how this man you see
Often times feels like a child
Self-conscious and weak
I'll still put pen to paper
Try to explain these things
That invade my thoughts in my waking hours
Stories of Kings and princes that have lost their way
God, we'd give anything just to feel safe
Deep down, we all know our worth
We just need someone to truly love us first
So we tip toe around these crowded rooms
Hoping someone in attendance might be able to dress our wounds
We cry without uttering a single word
So gather close, circle round
Cause maybe you've just never heard
And I'll tell you the story of the Love I've found
About the Truth embedded in you long before your birth
I'll ask once more
What are these words worth?"
The most beautiful thing about this song is that the title is an answer to a question. The question is at the end of the song where Joel says "I'll ask once more
What are these words worth?" to which the answer is the song title..."Nothing, save the power they're given".
i love how nobody in the crowd of people walking through city
gives a fuck
"But I'm so scared of what you'd think"
The bass translates the emotion of this song perfectly.
why the bass? it does not play anything special, it goes along with the guitars and when the guitars play melodies it often does not play at all. not to say that is a bad approach, I am just wondering why anybody would single out the bass as the special instrument in this song. it does what it does, and it fits the song.
To me it's pretty amazing when I like every song by a band
SHAD FUCKING THREW HIS STICK AT 2:09 AND DIDNT MISS A BEAT
m. caòmhanách its eazy mode bruh
m. caòmhanách MAGIC
Nice profile picture. Good to see Nemertines repped across genres.
Arabesque Band Ye
this is not the biggest art haha. loads of drummers do that, an during songs that are much more complicated and harder to play than this! ;) also, they put the recorded song over the video, what they played in the video is not actually the song you hear in the video. so what do we know, he might have missed the beat! :P
There's like no hate in these comments. Love it.
If I was walking through the streets and saw them filming..............
Damn i feel you :c
This song is absolutely beautiful. Beginning to end.
When music touches your heart and soul like no human ever can!

I said it before on the upload by InvogueRecords, but you guys truly inspire me! Granted, I don't subscribe to your religious message, but the way you write allows me the opportunity to listen and implement your work(s) to fit my own trials and tribulations. It's in no small part thanks to you guys that I've been able to [successfully] make it through this past year, and to grow and develop into the person I am today!
Much love your way BAAO! Keep up the amazing work! ~

Its an s/h model telecaster. Saw them live
This video is fucking awesome and original.
I finally found a band that completely destroys Parkway Drive in Lyrical and musical content.
What a good idea for a video.
Underoath's Sound + Jake Luhrs' Vocals = Being As An Ocean. (Fan of all three btw)
I love the fact it's in public
