Fair To Midland- Timerstye

- Опубліковано 28 лип 2008
- This is an early demo by Fair to Midland. These are honestly my favorite lyrics of all FTM songs, or just songs in general. Recordings can be found here- www.gutterth.com/shroudedmemor...
Lyrics:
what if I live up to the masses
make a choice and surrender everything
give up these eyes what's most important
now that piper he turns to look at me
father said home is where the heart is
as the clock ticks on I fear a stye
to know which way the answer is
yes but why,
yes but why,
yes but why
we won't sail through the desert
take these times all for granted again
choke on the reason
a goddamn face with no name
sail through the desert take these times all for granted again
and if I plow into none
weigh my fortune
Weigh my fortune's toll
weigh my fortune
weigh my fortune's toll
what if I ask for words of wisdom
and in the process choose to change my mind
give up to the friend that's in the past now
what can she give, she can't give life
as I turn my head I see lamb steeple
as I rise my eyes I see below
seems as though it comes about
more appealing
well that's just a lie
we won't sail through the desert
take these times all for granted again
choke on the reason
a goddamn face with no name
Sail through the desert take these times all for granted again
and if I plow into none
weigh my fortune
Weigh my fortune's toll
weigh my fortune
weigh my fortune's toll
and in time, on this day
wishing I was in the back seat away
now those rocks, come around
and I choose to surrender myself
these are trying times with failing conclusions
fresh air
die die die die
long time and you can't come on to me
blind to watch you
now this time god has waged his war
now this time I will breathe no more
long time and you can't come on to me

Thank-you codfish you will never know how important you are!
Don't thank me...look in the video info and you can download all these demos thanks to Gutterth.
This has one of my favorite buildups in all of FTM's songs.
holy shit this is a gorgeous song...kinda haunting too
hopefully fair to midland can last 10 more years so we can conduct the greatest band in the rock hall of fame
This song is hard to find and they only played it live 3 times that I know of. I have it on my iPod and I had to get it from the former bassist (Nathan). Kudos for putting it on youtube. It's a wonderful song and would have benefitted greatly from studio production. Everyone should get to hear this song, even in its raw form the way it is.
Yeah this song would be hard to find, but thanks to Gutterth, they put it up on the internet for everyone to download (link in the video info). I wish i had the fortune of see this played live, i really find this an amazing song. I am a late-comer to FTM, and have yet to see them live (the dont seem to like the North East). But it is amazing to see their transformation from a small, avaunt-guard metal band to the art-rock powerhouse they are today. Have a happy Thanksgiving.
and we all know FTM are experts at doing that. my personal interpretation is that the song is about the dangers of losing what's most important to oneself.
why can't this song be shared that blows my mind
lol PRAISE GUTTERTH
codfish i praise you for these songs
I freakin' rock to FTM everyday...
I LOVE this!
I only got to seem them play this song live twice. I hate to sound like a name dropper, but I have been on the FTM bandwagon since the beginning. I went to high school with Darroh (known to us as Andrew), Cliff, John, and the guy that John replaced, Nathan. It is cool to look to look at where they are now and think back to them playing a shitty club in Greenville called Chauncy's (sp?). Their sound has changed so much and you know it's only going to get better.
Yes they went all those places. Philly and Baltimore are too far away for me and i desperately, (i mean desperately) wanted to go to the NYC show..but i couldn't make it. But I'm sure I'll see them eventually.
Fuck they're so great
Well, no one is going to see them for a while since they're writing new material, but they did go to the north east on their tour. I know they went to New York, Philly, and I want to say Baltimore, but I could be wrong about that.
genuis is a VERY acurate word. i JUST found out about these guys and i think ive just discovered the new definition of good music....
i feel like they little soad
yeah, exactly what I thought, and that's the way I like it, to leave something up to the listener and let him/her decide something in the meaning of the lyrics whether it is to himself/herself or universal, doesn't really matter.
fair to midland are indeed very good at it and I think it's because of their lyrics, they're so... blurry if you know what I mean.
System of a down have often been asked what their songs are about and they have often said: whatever it means too you.
Which song off the carbon copy silver lining did this sound the most like? Like something like this but heavier.
jberry, ure from texas i presume? i myself got lucky enough to hear dance of the manatee a few times on music choice and immediately fell in love. anyway, the lyrics are great (and they explain the picture on the cover). i also here it from the highest authority (wikipedia:)) that the new album will be out within the year.
It's okay, go ahead. My son
yeah, got that down, but i'm having problems uploading the videos, youtubes saying i don't have the right format.
well after listening to it a couple of times the lyrics will be tatood to your brain
Under "Import" look for audio/music and then just select the song you want. Same for pictures.
@DeanWinchesterRules Yep! His voice has changed quite a bit.
@DeanWinchesterRules The uploader. Someone was talking to him, but they didn't use the @ symbol, so i just saw "codfish"
they are on serj's record label (serjical strike)
man, even with the lyrics, i still have a hard time following along. you have to listen real close.
i'm gonna try to put all the songs from fables including hcm onto youtube soon. all i need to do is buy the album and...figure out how to make the g*dd**ned video. kinda sad huh? a comment back as to how to do so would be appreciated.
@pathos6296 It took me a few seconds to realize that codfish was his username, and at first i was like "WHA-?"
Isn't this supposedly their 1st song?
i have windows and movie maker, but what i want to know is, where it says "insert media here, do you insert a picture or the music, and if a picture, how do you get the music in?
@i13m Not anymore.
@TheUniverse101 ?? yeah they are
buy the record.........
Try windows movie maker. Its pretty simple to use, (assuming you have a windows)
how do you mean? I can't see how the lyrics relate to Phil Schneider
sorry, i bleeped out a swear. i'm a little bit too catholic for my own liking. anyway, what i mean is i can't figure out how to make the video. any suggestions.
true... but Fables was...
i must admit though, it's kind of hard to follow him even with the lyrics
I see, I thought something like that as well but it doesn't have to be political, I think it's a lot about self interpretation.
i know exactly what u mean, and i feel the same way. would it be safe to call these guy's geniuses? i don't think it would be too far off
@orphaeus99 Hi,. i`m from the future. Fair To Midlands newest album is way too mainstream.
It`s called "Arrows & Anchors",. I still love them though!
