rip Keaton your passion and your music is always in my heart's 💜
This interview is even more heartbreaking, prayers to his family
this band is... i cant put into words.. the emotion and lyrics from the first album to now helps me cope with problems.. i love this band and interview. this is the definition of why ive loved this type of music for so long. too close to touch is one of the best bands that has ever came out.
Have to agree with you! Great interview btw! I have a lot of great music, with great lyrics, but they never came this close to how I feel.. I love the honesty in his voice and in the lyrics. I love the great atmosphere and the energy these guy brought with this great album! It means a lot to me, so thanks guys!
"i cant put it into words!"... continues to put into words

@@shearcull The very same but now
The same but now
I just heard of his passing and it's honestly f-ing sad af. There band "to close to touch" had gotten me through some all time lows in my life I've been listing to there music daily for 5 years starting at the age of 16 I can't tell you how sad this is to hear.
I lost somone very close to me and I played Eiley Daily because it felt like it was my story and "nerve endings" was how I delt with my problems. Rest in peace brother
Rest in peace Keaton, I hope to meet you in heaven one day and I'm glad you're with Eiley now
Lost one of my best friends in middle school. We both came from broken homes: divorced parents, mother was loving but being a single mom couldn’t give us the world, father was verbally and physically abusive and pushed us both to the brink of suicide. We both didn’t have the best childhood, constant bullying, always the one in the class with the best grades but never applied ourselves. It’s like we were the same person. After school we would go to a park and just sit and talk and be there for each other. He wasn’t able to have a phone so we would write notes and letters and put them in a box in a bush at this park. We always tried, we made a plan to graduate Highschool and go into the army together, get law degrees and hopefully gain some experience as cops and then open our own law practice to help those who can’t afford the $1000/hr attorneys but desperately need that assistance. We planned a whole future of trying to help others because nobody would help us. Then it came. I found the note the afternoon of March 17th, 2016. Nobody else knew of us since the last thing we wanted was our abusive parents knowing about us talking to each other, didn’t wanna be seen weird. On that day I found his letter talking about how he couldn’t take it anymore. His mom had passed of breast cancer a year prior and his father was an abusive alcoholic who never took care of them. Only being in middle school it fucked me up. He was a year younger than me but just as bright. We had such big plans and always had each other’s backs. I felt like my heart had been ripped out. I had to hide it because I felt that nobody would understand. Hung himself 3 days before his 13th birthday. As per his wishes I burned the remains of the little wooden box and all of our notes and tossed it in the canal. The last thing he ever said to be was fake care of yourself and don’t let your dreams be dreams. I should’ve known but my 14 year old mind didn’t get it. His last note was him telling me goodbye and that he’ll see me down the road in the next life, hopefully under better circumstances. This song and album hit close to home. Hopefully those of who’ve lost someone are doing well and I wish you all the best of wishes. I’ll keep trucking on, maybe one day open that law office.
so lucky to have been at the first show where they played eiley live. it was such a strong, powerful performance and we needed his voice just as much as he needed ours.
My sister passed away a little over a year ago and the song Eiley reminds me constantly that I'm not the only one who's felt this pain. And as heart breaking as the song is, it's also comforting.
💙
Haven't been myself will go down in my opinion as the best album ever made. Though it's very possible a small portion of people will ever see this album that way, I'll never forget how it made me feel.
I couldn’t agree with you more! One of my all time favourite albums but it hurts to listen to now that Keaton is gone. Don’t think I can listen to it without crying my eyes out.
Rest in peace Keaton we miss you.
I love Keaton. You can tell hes still full of emotion. Amazing person regardless of his up and downs. I love how down to earth and honest he is this interview.
Best dude in the music industry. So sorry for your loss man. I recently lost a close family member so I know how tough it is and what that does to your psyche. I hope you guys continue to create music because your music is incredible and the talent you have is immense.
and now he’s gone. RIP
The way he feels is like s mirror up image of how I am. I've been told that I'm not being myself and I noticed my self not being myself. My sister passed away 2 months ago and this song lets me release my anger and mourn for her at the same time
I hope nothing but the best for you my friend.
I’m sorry for your loss.
This is one of the most legit guys I’ve ever seen. This is why TCTT is my favorite band
I think the reason that he seems nervous is because he tries to hold back the sadness since he was talking about the tragedy happened to his family... 😭😭😭😭
I’ve been following TCTT since 2017 and I’m glad I got to know the band. Their music helps me coupe when I feel down.
Eiley is an amazing song. I really want to hear a live version. Awesome interview!
They are awesome live!
I remember Keaton saying in a live-feed on Facebook that he won't play that song live :(
Dastan Arre go to their instagram. they've decided to play it live
Gallant Gaming he played it this last tour. I saw them live in February
I have a video of it live on my channel from march
I cried and cried for you . I’ve only recently gotten into this band. What an amazing person he is
“Why is she gone before me and why am I still here” it gave me chills hearing him say that knowing he’s not here anymore
I lost one of my best friends in a car wreck a couple months ago and Eiley actually helps me cope. I relate to the lyrics big time. He was in a coma for almost a month after the wreck and 4 days after they took him off the ventilator, he passed away. So that song helps me because I know that I’m not the only one angry at losses like this and I’m not alone in feeling the way I feel about loss.
I wish I could tell him in how much his songs have helped me in my grief for my son, I hope his family can find peace somehow. The grief will never end, but peace can be found.
If this song doesn't make you cry, you have no soul 😢
🖤 rip Keaton. Your talent and heart is felt by many. No one will ever compare.
Not only did god choose Eiley, but he also chose him.... he died recently and this song was the first thing I thought of. When that song came out, the emotions were insane. Now hearing he died as well... idk what to say. RIP EILEY AND KEATON PIERCE. So sorry for the loss to the fans, but most importantly the family. Devastating loss. Neither of you were worthless to this world.
I totally understandably get where he was at on this album. Pure immersion into what loss can do to you. Keep making good music man. This music keeps me above the influence of life's stresses.
Thank you for doing this interview, both of you. I really wanted to hear about this record. It’s really moved me after nearly losing my daughter to liver failure. Thank you so much for writing the record. Thank you for opening up emotionally on the record.
respect to him man idk if ill be able to talk to anyone about that stuff
As an artist, if I write lyrics on growth through issues, I definitely want people to know that its to express on what was experienced. Sometimes people keep everything in without being able to express.. Shutting you into your sub conscious. Its ok to let it out. Honesty beats oblivion. Not to assume, but it sounds like the vocalist just is comfortable with his growth in life. Thats why he can talk so freely. Oddly introverted yet social (Sorta awkward as well lol). Definitely a musician lol. Anyways, thought your post thinking my brain.. Derp. So I replied XD
You are Loved, Admired, Missed and Appreciated for who you are, an amazing human. See you on the other side brother.
🙏✌️💙👍🤘🏼
Always good interviews from you! You should do way more!
thanks chris! I'll try to get more up this year :)
It sucks we’ve lost him too now. He was a singer I was so looking forward to for the future. I just wanted more music from him. RIP Keaton and best wishes to his family.
Rest in love Keaton 🤍💔
Absolutely love this interview and band! Great job man!
great question dude. such an amazing band.
My heart. May Keaton and his sister RIP
they've decided to play eiley live
Great interview. You ask good questions.
thank u!
great video man really interesting
RIP Keaton!
Rip keaton :(((
Good interview, man :)
thank u!
But now he's there with her 🥺 RIP
Me and my little sister litterly replayed the video and tried to count how many times Keaton said "like" it's about 158 times for anyone who's curious😂 We might've miscounted though, love your music Keaton !❤️
Another great artist gone way too soon
i have the same name as his sister, though it's spelled differently
RIP Keaton gone to soon.
i want to hug
R.i.p keaton pierce
take a sip every time he says like.
I kept noticing him say 'uhh' especially half-way in. Didn't notice him saying like everytime.
Album title wasn’t vague 😑 rather direct imo
Does anybody know how he died?
Everything points to acute pancreatitis complications
The “like” counter in this video is broken
If you can read people, he's getting almost choked up when it comes to Eiley and the fkr keeps pressing it.
Hey man, I go over a lot of these questions with the artist beforehand especially when they’re sensitive like this. I know it’s not an easy listen but he knew what we were going to touch on. Hope this gives you some context.
If he exists, the bastard ended up taking him way too soon, too
like 1:57
maybe im too late to comment but i just found out this band and i really like them, and especially this album, i thought it was about depression and thats why i liked so much, its awkward for me to see this interview and have another view on what the album is, and the amount of "like" they say annoys me a lot
Todays theme is "like"
I like hate this like interviewer like so like much like I like hate it.
Hayden Lee me too
Thanks. Now that's all I hear.
