This song always gives me the chills.. Sidenote: stop with the "older stuff is better" bullshit. I been listening to Thrice since First impressions. It's ok to evolve, alright snobby music hipsters?
I agree. I've been listening to them since identity crisis, and while it took some time to get used to, they are fantastic and an inspiration to so many bands and genres. Dustin Kensrue is also one of the best lyricists of the last 25 years, at least.
Their newest stuff is the bestest too. Beyond the Pines might be the best thing they've ever wrote and it is so simple. The best songwriters of our time for sure.
My heart goes out to you and yours. This song is one of those timeless tracks that can take you back years in the clearest way possible and that my friend is a gift from above. God bless you. Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no hope for this world there is only hope in Him.
My condolences . Im sorry for your loss, I lost my brother in 2022 from a Car Accident ,but it feels like it just happened yesterday - Always wear your seatbelt even if it's a short drive ..Thrice Rules! Never lose sight of Faith in Jesus Christ!- life is too short . Be humble ! Cheers! -My bad for the novel , Peace!
I HATE how much more recognition you guys deserve outside of this song. You guys legitimately changed my life. I'm a two tour veteran. One Iraq and one Afghanistan and I cant possibly express the effect you've had on me in my life. You're older albums. all of it. I'm 33. I was back there with you guys, I've seen you through your shit, seen and traveled to see you live 8 times in my life. You're my favorite band in existence.I hope you fall back into your fans that truly love you.

Beyond the Pines is my favorite. it is incredibly deep and powerful. Reminding us we're all connected and to see past the illusion of separation, hate and greed. It's beautiful.
Going on 15 years..I can't stop. Nobody and I mean NOBODY understands. I can't play Thrice for anyone without being told to move on. That man, his band, by far the best thing that's ever happened to me
Way back in the day, Riley broke his back and was going to be out for a year or more. Instead of replacing him, Thrice waited for him to get better. And good thing they did. Listen to those damn drums in this song. Bravo good sir!
I believe The Alchemy Index was his intro back into playing. You can kinda tell by now there’s a lot of digital drums and samples and they handled the whole situation way better than any other band could have. Best band in existence imo
Loved this band for almost 25 years and their music has gotten me through so much. I’m an atheist so their spiritual allegory isn’t why I love their music so much, it’s the talent for melody and lyrical poetry that grabs me. This particular song helped me during a period of life in 2017 that was dark and lonely, and it hits deep any time I hear it. Thanks homies.
Standing knee deep in cold water, swiftly moving, somehow I knew I'd lost something Wading waist deep I saw a book there in the river, waiting for me to find it there I tried to read it, neck deep, treading water, but the tide, it pulled me out to sea Then, with water in my eyes, the words began to rise from their place They were beautiful and dread; I reached for them and fed on each phrase They were honey on my lips, but then a bitter twist in my side I knew they'd lay me in my grave; "Is there no one who can save me?" I cried Sinking, down deep through cold water and heavy silence, shadows stirring in the gloom What things lay sleeping down deep in the darkness woke then, to find me in that tomb? Then, with water in my eyes, the words began to rise from their place They were beautiful and dread; I reached for them and fed on each phrase They were honey on my lips, but then a bitter twist in my side I knew they'd lay me in my grave; "Is there no one who can save me?" I cried And when I lost all hope to look, someone took that heavy book from my hands All its weight they set aside, after they had satisfied its demands I felt white and black reverse, and the lifting a curse from my heart Then like one receiving sight, I beheld a brilliant light in the dark Beautiful. Just beautiful.
The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side. As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in-a river that no one could cross. He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?” Then he led me back to the bank of the river. When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river. He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh. Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live. Ezekiel 47:1-9 NIV bible.com/bible/111/ezk.47.1-9.NIV When you realize the living water comes from God the Mother Watv.org
Little does everyone know this music could change the world if everyone heard it. They would out preform/write everything and everyone on the radio, and would be outstanding rolemodels for the music community.

I know this is from Major/Minor, an absolutely incredible work.. A master piece really. But as I'm almost 43, long time die hard fan, I cannot believe what a legendary work the Alchemy Index is. The full work. The symbolism. The depth. There is a message there I got snippets of as I enjoyed various songs, but now 15 years later, seem to spiritually cry out from within me as I join in song. I am curious what people will think of it 100-200 years from now.
The depth of the concepts, motifs, symbolism and everything else in the alchemy indexes is absolutely just incredible. All of Dustin’s writing just hits me so personally and spiritually. He truly has a God-given gift. Everything I try to write comes off as cheesy and overdone haha. But even the writing here, in Major /Minor and up to their most recent stuff is just as good.
@@skeevingwinker4417 absolutely. A calling from God is how I see the band and their work. So many people sleep on them, only a few I know listen to them. Many have no idea what they’re missing out on.
When this album came out, my buddy heard this song before I did. He said, bro, it's the best Thrice song ever. I didn't believe him. So my gf (now my wife) listened to it reading they lyrics as the song played. At the end we were both in tears. Complete wreck in the most beautiful way. Had to pause the album to gather ourselves. Now that is art! Damn near perfect song.

illusion of safety and artist in the ambulance still are my favorite albums ever and was the soundtrack to my teenage angst. When i first heard their "new" sound, i'll admit i was not happy and did not listen to their new stuff. Now that im older...holy crap this is amazing.
Isn't this even true to all Thrice songs? I just thought about The Artist In The Ambulance or Red Sky, let alone The Whaler and Lost Continent which are part of my all time favourites
Hey y'all. Been seeing a lot of comment referred to the religious lyrics. Take a second...and read my take. Thrice is fantastic and their primary focus is to be as authentic and real as possible. Although, there lyrics could be religious, it shouldn't matter or sway you from trying to listen to the ACTUAL message there trying to tell. There music is an interpretation of their life journey. We are all on our own paths, and it may be foolish to be prideful to figure it out on our own/shut something down quickly...they probably have gone through some serious life challenges...and their music shares lessons from that. You might think they are trying to preach to you...but if you look the other way...they might be able to share with you some of the deepest emotions that we all do look for - without direct religious intentions. We all got our freedom to choose what to believe, but remember...that our life experiences were meant to be relatetable and shareable so we can be truly understand ourselves better. To be stronger together. To feel loved rather than be lonely . Please, greetings and love from Toronto, Canada.
I think that's the beauty of Thrice, while Dustin clearly uses Christian symbols in his songs, they leave it completely open to interpretation. If you are religious, you can take it that way. But it doesn't make the metaphor any less applicable to non believers. I'm somewhere between an Atheist and Agnostic, but I find Thrice's songs elegant and beautiful.
Exactly. What was a book to him, could be a person, or experience, etc. to someone who sees it with an open perspective. To bounce off the empowerment of Dustin's lyrics, from my perspective and personal interpretation: He makes reference to being "underwater" or, bogged down and held back by something. "Down" there he finds a book. This book brings light to him in a dark place, (honey on his lips) but also makes him see the unavoidable existential flaws in himself (they were beautiful in dread)/ (then a bitter twist in my side). He is influenced by the book to find something that will pull him out. (Is there no one who can save me, I cried). At the end, after giving up, someone takes the burden of the book out of his hands which allows him to revel in the beauty and light of his own unique individualism. The lyrics are completely objective to the listener, and written to be interpreted by the individual listener's experiences. SUCH AN AMAZING SONGWRITER.
This song is a moment in history. God laid his grace to us mere mortals. I know there are other atheists feeling what I feel here. Thank you for awaking my soul.
I'm an atheist, but I'll listen to every album by Dustin from beginning to end. You don't need to believe in God to understand and appreciate the message from his music.
yeah- Thrice hasn't come within a thousand miles of selling out. I talked to Dustin after their show in Charlotte a few weeks ago and he couldn't have been a nicer and more down to earth guy. They put on a ridiculous show, he walks offstage, grabs his acoustic, walks across the street, plays 30 minutes for a couple hundred drunk people and sticks around to shoot it with a bunch of complete strangers. Class acts.
Psalm 119:103 How sweet your words taste to me; they are sweeter than honey. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 1 peter 1:23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 1 corinthians 10:3 and all ate the same spiritual food 😭 This is beautiful.
No matter what type of mood I'm in, listening to the words of Dustin and the music of Thrice always put me in a state of mind that makes me feel like I can do anything.
I am 30 years old, I've heard in my opinion the best genre of all music, 70's, 80's,90's rap,soul,county,rock what have you and this is the best song ive ever heard in my life! God bless Thrice!
must admit, I was never crazy about Major/Minor (a lot of issues/other albums were on my mind at the time it was released). I've made a point to go back and listen to it and I have to say the material holds up. Thrice is the kind of band that has to make an effort to be disappointing and that's why I love them.
If it weren't for Beltsville Crucible and So Strange I Remember You, I'd still be listening to Hip Hop music exclusively. Thrice turned me on to Rock music and I think Dustin has one of the best voices in this genre of music. This song is a great for retrospecting back on all the great songs this great band has given us. :)
This song was the soundtrack to my first year going back to college to finally finish after a long layoff. I listened to it almost every day for 3 years straight. I don't know how, but it helped me get through all the doubts I had about myself and my abilities. For that, I'll be eternally grateful. One of my all-time favorites.
Idk if you’ll see this response since it’s been 5 years when you commented but literally same. I’ve been listening to this song everyday and I’m a student pilot. I have my doubts every now and then about flying but for some reason, this song keeps me going and soon enough, I’ll be living the dream I’ve always wanted.
They really took it up a notch with this record. Though I know there was more they could have given, they left in a beautiful way, adored by their fans and leaving a truly great collection of songs in their wake.
And the song... the song is my favorite song of the year. They killed it with this album. Best album of the last 5 years. Thrice and Mastodon are the bands of the decade. Huge bands, huge albums. They get better with age.
I saw them at the house of blues Dallas right before covid lockdown. They wrapped up the show with this song and im absolutely 1000% glad i went. I hadn't ever heard this song and put out the APB on twitter to see what it was called. Dustin Kensrue, the national treasure himself responded on twitter to let me know the title despite the fact that his macbook was trashed days before. I can't wait till this covid bullshit is over. The first thing I want to plan event wise is to see this band again live.
I saw them many years ago with Norma Jean. By far the most solid and epic show i have ever seen; from transitions to effects it was just all around amazing.

This is what good music is. This has to be one of the greatest songs of all time IMO. I am not even a Thrice fan, either; I only started recently getting into them. This is an amazing jam, though.

This song always gives me the chills.. Sidenote: stop with the "older stuff is better" bullshit. I been listening to Thrice since First impressions. It's ok to evolve, alright snobby music hipsters?
Very well said. Ive been following thrice since the first EP and this is awesome.
At first hearing beggars it threw me off. But as I've listened to their newer stuff I've only appreciated his songwriting and lyricism. Poet Laureate?
I agree. I've been listening to them since identity crisis, and while it took some time to get used to, they are fantastic and an inspiration to so many bands and genres. Dustin Kensrue is also one of the best lyricists of the last 25 years, at least.
Too right, Their evolution is 👌🏼
Their newest stuff is the bestest too. Beyond the Pines might be the best thing they've ever wrote and it is so simple. The best songwriters of our time for sure.
BEST BAND EVER.
Still love song. Especially in these times ...2020
Yes sir
This is what it’s like when your favorite band grows up with you through life changes
This was the last song my brother and I listened together before he died
It's so beautiful

Standing knee deep in cold water, swiftly moving, somehow I knew I'd lost something
Wading waist deep I saw a book there in the river, waiting for me to find it there
I tried to read it, neck deep, treading water, but the tide, it pulled me out to sea
Then, with water in my eyes, the words began to rise from their place
They were beautiful and dread; I reached for them and fed on each phrase
They were honey on my lips, but then a bitter twist in my side
I knew they'd lay me in my grave; "Is there no one who can save me?" I cried
Sinking, down deep through cold water and heavy silence, shadows stirring in the gloom

All its weight they set aside, after they had satisfied its demands

Then like one receiving sight, I beheld a brilliant light in the dark

It's not about talent! The vocal's were great. The instrumentals were too dirty for me. They actually gave me a bit of a headache. :(
I still think this is the best song the band has ever written. Just perfect.

There’s something about this song that really touches me, honestly the whole major minor album hits me like this especially disarmed
Most underrated band ever and major minor is my favorite. But all their songs are great.
Brings tears to my eyes, every time. Without fail. And I've heard this song countless times.
This is so fucking spot on. Jesus christ these guys are good.
Hell yes
damn Riley, leave some talent for the rest of us.
the band that only the ones who knew and still are sure these 4 men are legends
this chorus hits me like a tonne of bricks every time. absolutely sublime
Well god damn it. They're still FLAWLESS live. Authentic sign of an upper eschelon band.
iwant them to make at least 2 more records
No need to use the Lord's name in vien
10/30/2019 and this is still gold

Its 2020 and still is.
The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side. As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in-a river that no one could cross. He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?” Then he led me back to the bank of the river. When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river. He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh. Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.

3.10.2020 and still !!!
March 3, 2021 .. This song is needed now more than ever.
illusion of safety and artist in the ambulance still are my favorite albums ever and was the soundtrack to my teenage angst. When i first heard their "new" sound, i'll admit i was not happy and did not listen to their new stuff. Now that im older...holy crap this is amazing.
Thrice continues to get better. This song is timeless.
its amazing how this sounds exactly like the cd recording
Teppei's harmony is one of my favorite parts of this performance, Dustin is an amazing vocalist and those harmonies perfectly accentuated the chorus.
couldn't agree more
Isn't this even true to all Thrice songs? I just thought about The Artist In The Ambulance or Red Sky, let alone The Whaler and Lost Continent which are part of my all time favourites
Hey y'all. Been seeing a lot of comment referred to the religious lyrics. Take a second...and read my take.
Thrice is fantastic and their primary focus is to be as authentic and real as possible. Although, there lyrics could be religious, it shouldn't matter or sway you from trying to listen to the ACTUAL message there trying to tell. There music is an interpretation of their life journey. We are all on our own paths, and it may be foolish to be prideful to figure it out on our own/shut something down quickly...they probably have gone through some serious life challenges...and their music shares lessons from that. You might think they are trying to preach to you...but if you look the other way...they might be able to share with you some of the deepest emotions that we all do look for - without direct religious intentions. We all got our freedom to choose what to believe, but remember...that our life experiences were meant to be relatetable and shareable so we can be truly understand ourselves better. To be stronger together. To feel loved rather than be lonely .
Please, greetings and love from Toronto, Canada.
I think that's the beauty of Thrice, while Dustin clearly uses Christian symbols in his songs, they leave it completely open to interpretation. If you are religious, you can take it that way. But it doesn't make the metaphor any less applicable to non believers. I'm somewhere between an Atheist and Agnostic, but I find Thrice's songs elegant and beautiful.

Perfect Brian, I couldn't have said it better myself
Exactly. What was a book to him, could be a person, or experience, etc. to someone who sees it with an open perspective.
To bounce off the empowerment of Dustin's lyrics, from my perspective and personal interpretation:
He makes reference to being "underwater" or, bogged down and held back by something. "Down" there he finds a book. This book brings light to him in a dark place, (honey on his lips) but also makes him see the unavoidable existential flaws in himself (they were beautiful in dread)/ (then a bitter twist in my side). He is influenced by the book to find something that will pull him out. (Is there no one who can save me, I cried). At the end, after giving up, someone takes the burden of the book out of his hands which allows him to revel in the beauty and light of his own unique individualism.
The lyrics are completely objective to the listener, and written to be interpreted by the individual listener's experiences. SUCH AN AMAZING SONGWRITER.
I like devil's cake and angel food....🤷🏻♂️🤯
This song is a moment in history. God laid his grace to us mere mortals. I know there are other atheists feeling what I feel here. Thank you for awaking my soul.
I'm an atheist, but I'll listen to every album by Dustin from beginning to end. You don't need to believe in God to understand and appreciate the message from his music.
Tears... Man. Dustin Kensrue is such a writer, both lyrically and melodically.
yeah- Thrice hasn't come within a thousand miles of selling out. I talked to Dustin after their show in Charlotte a few weeks ago and he couldn't have been a nicer and more down to earth guy. They put on a ridiculous show, he walks offstage, grabs his acoustic, walks across the street, plays 30 minutes for a couple hundred drunk people and sticks around to shoot it with a bunch of complete strangers. Class acts.
Psalm 119:103
How sweet your words taste to me; they are sweeter than honey.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
1 peter 1:23
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
1 corinthians 10:3
and all ate the same spiritual food
😭
This is beautiful.
Dustin hitting the note on "dark" at the end...chills, man.
No matter what type of mood I'm in, listening to the words of Dustin and the music of Thrice always put me in a state of mind that makes me feel like I can do anything.
I am 30 years old, I've heard in my opinion the best genre of all music, 70's, 80's,90's rap,soul,county,rock what have you and this is the best song ive ever heard in my life! God bless Thrice!
I still get chills every time I hear this song.
I love this band!
must admit, I was never crazy about Major/Minor (a lot of issues/other albums were on my mind at the time it was released). I've made a point to go back and listen to it and I have to say the material holds up. Thrice is the kind of band that has to make an effort to be disappointing and that's why I love them.
The quality is amazing, way better than the other tube videos.
This is one of the most poetic songs I've ever heard. Stop bickering about who is selling out and enjoy it.
Watching this years later and all I can say is.... Thank you for coming back... I missed you Thrice, I've really needed you. 💗
What a song!!!
Is such a shame this band is so underrated, probably they are among the best musicians of the last decade...really really sad
Absolute perfection...I tear up every time
These guys are absolutely incredible live. I've checked out quite a bit of their live stuff and am continuously blown away
They're amazing
Always gets me right in the feels!
If it weren't for Beltsville Crucible and So Strange I Remember You, I'd still be listening to Hip Hop music exclusively. Thrice turned me on to Rock music and I think Dustin has one of the best voices in this genre of music. This song is a great for retrospecting back on all the great songs this great band has given us. :)
We all have a path to explore.
Hopefully we can be as honest as this band is to our end days.
The songs all have a true end.
The most underrated rock band ever!
I'm actually glad to listen to their songs and to know that not every kid who doesn't really understand their energy, their passion hypes Thrice!
This song was the soundtrack to my first year going back to college to finally finish after a long layoff. I listened to it almost every day for 3 years straight. I don't know how, but it helped me get through all the doubts I had about myself and my abilities. For that, I'll be eternally grateful. One of my all-time favorites.
Idk if you’ll see this response since it’s been 5 years when you commented but literally same. I’ve been listening to this song everyday and I’m a student pilot. I have my doubts every now and then about flying but for some reason, this song keeps me going and soon enough, I’ll be living the dream I’ve always wanted.
this band..... no words... fav song by them
Masterpiece of a song.
What an underrated band. This song is brilliant and beautiful.
so glad Thrice has kept its original crew. forever Thrice!
Can't wait till June.
Musical Perfection.
They really took it up a notch with this record. Though I know there was more they could have given, they left in a beautiful way, adored by their fans and leaving a truly great collection of songs in their wake.
And the song... the song is my favorite song of the year. They killed it with this album. Best album of the last 5 years. Thrice and Mastodon are the bands of the decade. Huge bands, huge albums. They get better with age.
those drums sound amazing!
Could watch these vids all day...
Such a great performance love this band!
I totally agree. What makes this incredible is that there were no effects used. Production to me appears just plainly acoustic. So raw and so awesome.
Gives you some hope in mankind.
It's just perfect!
Thrice is my favorite band and this is my favorite song. Love you guys so much❤
watching Thrice live is life changing. I saw them on their farewell tour and it was hands down the best concert i've ever been to.
As always, they sound freaking amazing. Love this band so much!
So powerful... blown away every time.
I'm addicted to this song. Can't stop listening...
I saw them at the house of blues Dallas right before covid lockdown. They wrapped up the show with this song and im absolutely 1000% glad i went. I hadn't ever heard this song and put out the APB on twitter to see what it was called. Dustin Kensrue, the national treasure himself responded on twitter to let me know the title despite the fact that his macbook was trashed days before. I can't wait till this covid bullshit is over. The first thing I want to plan event wise is to see this band again live.
Seeing Thrice in live sessions always make me cry the hell out. Thank you.
Goose bumps evertime, so good!
I only saw Thrice live one time, over 16 years ago. They were awesome!
I saw them at the HoB on May 4th and just barely teared up when they played this song.
I'm seeing them again June 16th and will surely weep.
Goddamn. Pure brilliance.
Studio sessions like this are generally mastered, that's why ; ) . Still Thrice is filled with amazing talent.
i hope this explodes soon, hearing this at release , and coming back to it now, WOW, these guys are unreal
Thrice is legendary!
I saw them many years ago with Norma Jean. By far the most solid and epic show i have ever seen; from transitions to effects it was just all around amazing.
So good they need to play again soon!
Always my favorite song from you guys! 🤘👊
Vem pro Brasiil!
I am going to miss this band so much.
This song is so beautiful. LOVE the lyrics, they inspire something in me

Look at watv.org and see God the Mother.
Got goosebumps listening to this again.
I’m in love with how deep the sound these wonderful artists put out. I “feel” the heart.
Beautiful song.
Best song ever! Best version ever! These men are amazing and give me goosies!
I'm 90% positive that half of these views are from me alone. What a spectacular performance!!
PLEASE COME AND TOUR IN SOUTH AFRICA!!!!
Chokes me up how frigin amazballs you guys are ..fweea
ive never seen anything like this...incredible
Man these guys are so fucking good these days. God dam.
Gets me every time!
They keep my mind occupied. It's a difficult task, but they do it. Their music is amazing
This is what good music is. This has to be one of the greatest songs of all time IMO. I am not even a Thrice fan, either; I only started recently getting into them. This is an amazing jam, though.
I believe, somewhere deep inside, they will play again... At least, I hope they do.
HevyFest 2015!
Chris Jones That will be in the UK but before that they will play in Canada! I think they are back in action!
D3ft0ne I had the pleasure of watching their very last show at the Nokia Theater in LA
+D3ft0ne I just saw them on the weekend at Riot Fest Toronto. AMAZING
: ) I knew they would be back.
This song is insane. Major/minor, what an album!
