Idk but I can relate to this song a lot. "So why don't you love me back" that's my question to the whole world, and all the people who bully and hurt me. I hate this life. I want to end it.
Agreed. This and "The Medic" remind me of a brief relationship I was in 4 years ago where I was the one broken in the end and he perfectly captured how I felt on the inside. Especially the refrain in this song. I need to see them live again in the worst way.
i see people saying "his voice is awful!" or "he's NOT a singer." i'm just gonna clear it up, its not supposed to sound pretty. its SUPPOSED to sound this aggressive. i personally think this song is beautiful with the powerful emotional screaming.
lyrics: i wrote you a letter asked your best friend to send it but took to the sea before you could have read it retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown extracted my heart while it was till beating and glowing red and i swear that sweat would envelope your arms if you broke down and held it chorus: i swear i'm a good man, so why don't you love me back? instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence in wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset and all i could hear was the sound of the wasps nest my head made a home for the hum of insects but my hands shake and shudder at the mention of half hearted reasons we'll only be friends chorus: i swear i'm a good man, so why dont you love me back?
This breaks my guts apart. His yearning & anguish. Foxing deserves more praise. Music isn't a dollar, it's a feeling free like the notes floating into my ears
Honestly yeah I hope I don't go through a breakup anytime soon cuz I know i will immediately turn to this and I know it'll fuck me up like a few other songs have in the past.
My dogs name is Rory, he is close to dying as I am writing this, he is 11 and a half years old. I think we just went for the very last walk to the park. He didn't eat his food tonight and now he is in bed breathing shallow. I have to go to work tomorrow and I am going to be worried all day that he has died. My other dog, Jackson who is half his age will be all alone and it's breaking my heart. I don't want to get another dog, as much as love them, I can't have them forever. I don't own a home and renting with dogs is so hard. Maybe if I ever own a home I will get dogs again but I won't bet it will happen. Rory is the 2nd dog I had, the first being his father, Dexter who died young and when he died it was the saddest I have ever been, his death has shaped my mental health dramatically and was the start of a spiral of severe depression and honestly if I didn't have young Rory to care for at that time I think I might have killed myself. Now the dog that saved my life is dying on my bed and this song comes on. It's been a favourite of mine for years and I am leaving this message to myself here if I ever want to read what I wrote and remember how i felt in this important moment. It's Thursday 4th of May 2023. If Rory doesn't eat again he's not going to make it past Sunday. Jackson was extremely energetic when I came home from tonight, now I think it's because he's scared of losing Rory, I think he was trying to tell me he was sick. I really hope Rory goes peacefully and I am strong enough to take him to the vet to be put to sleep at the right time. Rory is the most well behaved dog I have ever known, he is the definition of "good boy" he also has the shiniest black coat I have ever seen and now as he is very old and weak, he is so soft and a great listener. Without question Rory was my best friend for a very long time and I know I am going to miss him for the rest of my life but I hope I can look back and feel that I gave him a good life and made him feel loved and even when he is gone I will remember the happy moments we shared, like going to play Frisbee, the way he loved to hog a soccer ball and not let you take it away from him, walking on the beach, playing with Dexter when he was a little puppy and playing with Jackson as an old dog, and how he hasnt needed a leash since he was very young because he always listened to me. A memory I have of Rory that always makes me smile is that he used be a real escape artist when he was little and he would go to the public pool and go for a swim before he was picked up by the dog pound. I think that happened about three times. Then he got desexed and he matured alot and grew up to be the best dog I ever known, he was never really fast but he always put in a lot of effort and pushed his limits which makes that walk today to the park breaks my heart seeing him walking at crawling pace 20 meters behind me having to stop again and again so he could catch up. I hope I can focus on the good times because there were a lot of them. I think I am much stronger mentally than I was 10 years ago and I will be able to carry on but it will be tough. I hope I focus on the future and Jackson will be okay. I love both my dogs like children. Jackson is licking my hand right now, he is very affectionate full of energy, very handsome and lovable, the reason I got Jackson was because I was slipping into a dark place mentally and I knew I needed something in my life to give me meaning but now I don't need him for that, I have gotten better so I guess my dogs have really helped me get through and over some really dark times. My dogs have been my little furry heroes, they have saved my life and I will keep them in my heart forever. Rory, I love you so much.
Saw them last night with Manchester Orchestra. Hands down the best opening band I've seen yet. Very entertaining performance. I was super impressed. Can't wait to see how far they go.
+norovera Have you tried just going into a room by yourself and yelling? Put as much emotion into what you are saying as you can. Everyone can do it but everyone will sound different.
there are proper ways to do that type of scream/yelling using an immense amount of glotteral compression. in the case of this song he is just yelling. A band that uses the scream/singing in a more technical way would probably be Bring Me The Horizon or Avenged Sevenfold since they were both taught how to sing/scream by professionals. it is one of the hardest singing techniques and most the of the guys that do this technique are actually years into practice and have been strong vocal chords or have been classically trained first.
+norovera You need to listen to a ton of emo and try to sing along to the point where you can and to the point where you know the lyrics to some songs without even thinking... i suggest starting with the acoustic album from Saves the Day "Sorry I'm Leaving" -- it's a decent place to start.
Today, after almost 7 years of loving one man, who I met almost everyday in the train, he first time said Good Morning to me. Right when I was listening to this song. I have a fiance now and for 3 months will marry him, but still have something to that man. I don't know why.
Im a happiest wife ever. Mu husband is cute and full of love for me. And I love him so much. This is the best love story I could imagine. The wedding day was the greatest day in my whole life. And I try to forget that other man, what is easy in these quarantine times. Hope to not meet him again.
@@mollyt.423 awwww thank you so much that mean a lot for me! Yes, we are so happy together, I couldn't imagine better love! We are togethee now for 7 years and it seems like we love each other more every day. Sending you kisses and hugs! :* :* :)
This is really good. Everything from the pronounced voice and trumpets, to the dramatic guitars and violins, to the strong and strangely rhythmic drums... I fucking love it. 11/10 would bang if music was human.
I wrote you a letter Asked your best friend to send it But took to the sea before you could have read it Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown Extracted my heart while it was still beating But glowing and red And I swear that sweat would Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it I swear I'm a good man I swear I'm a good man So why don't you love me back? Why don't you love me back? Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest My head made a home for the hum of the insects But my hands shake and shudder at the mention Of half hearted reasons why we'll only be friends I swear I'm a good man I swear I'm a good man So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back?
I love how the acoustic instruments are in one room and the electric instruments are in the other. My brother is a freelance film-hand and he actually worked on this video.
i’m so sad i miss this song so much and it brings back such a painful time in my life... god i don’t know how to think or what to feel or anything at all.
They are amazing live, I saw them in London at Bush Hall as co-headliner with Pianos Become The Teeth and they were very good. They all convey their emotions so well through their instruments, every song is just one giant emotional wave. I love Foxing.
I thought the noise in the background was my stomach and I got super self concious and paused the video, that confused me when I coudldn't hear it after xD
Y’know, it’s a stretch but I think the reason why it’s a wolf (fox?) and three pigs in the video is because it’s a reference to the three little pigs. The big bad wolf hurt them first but now the three little pigs are hurting him.
who hurt this man
Green Floyd ikr he looks and sounds so sad it makes me sad deep down inside my heart
Rory
Idk but I can relate to this song a lot. "So why don't you love me back" that's my question to the whole world, and all the people who bully and hurt me. I hate this life. I want to end it.
madelyn trepka It gets better, just remember, it will all be in your past, and you are the one who will be in charge of your life
@@madelynt1615 Please reach out. There are literally millions of people on the wide spectrum of depression... Don't fight this alone.
the emotion in his voice is indescribable.
It's just so raw and relatable
It's the same emotion he portrays when he performs live and it's crazy good.
Such conviction
Gives me goosebumps honestly

@Danny really far down, like extremely far
A “good” voice doesn’t equal “good” music. I love his voice.
I agree, it’s pretty obvious what song was going for, and it’s flipping gorgeous to just just listen to the lyrics.
Can’t upvote more...
you don’t need to be talented to make beautiful art.

As a joestar descendent I am obligated to like this comment
Thanks, Jonathan from jojo, very cool.
“Instead of twisting words you just sat there in silence”
I feel this.
the lyrics of this song are like a punch to the gut :(
I swear, this is one of the most fucking incredible things I have ever heard. THose screams at the end are just so...real
Very emotional
lyrics:
i wrote you a letter
asked your best friend to send it
but took to the sea before you could have read it
retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown
extracted my heart while it was till beating and glowing red
and i swear that sweat would
envelope your arms if you broke down and held it
chorus:
i swear i'm a good man,
so why don't you love me back?
instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence
in wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset
and all i could hear was the sound of the wasps nest
my head made a home for the hum of insects
but my hands shake and shudder at the mention
of half hearted reasons we'll only be friends
chorus:
i swear i'm a good man,
so why dont you love me back?
That second chorus is fucking spiffing
Half written reasons*
This song helps me break my own heart.
Can't ever be in love unless you risk feeling these feelings... Rejection, heart ache, disillusion... Gotta appreciate the lows and the highs.
Collin Glover tru this
I take all sorts of risks but none of those 3 are worth it.
This song made me cry 👊🏽😔
Why do I feel so defeated when I listen
I would say this song is powerful, but that's an understatement.
This breaks my guts apart. His yearning & anguish. Foxing deserves more praise. Music isn't a dollar, it's a feeling free like the notes floating into my ears
Bro... that was deep
This and "The Medic" are exactly what you need post breakup. The lyrics are so relevant.
First time I heard the ending of the second verse, I cried. So yeah, I can def relate
Lmfao my sensitive ass can't stop listening to both the medic and this song sksk
Honestly yeah I hope I don't go through a breakup anytime soon cuz I know i will immediately turn to this and I know it'll fuck me up like a few other songs have in the past.
Yep.
Exactly my situation right now... :(
But my hands shake and shudder at the mention
Of half hearted reasons why we'll only be friends!!!!!!! UGHHHHHHH
AJ Cross hits so hard
It's a punch in the gut every single time I hear it and I love it

Rory is a sweetheart. Thx for sharing
Amazing that you shared this. I hope your doing alright, and that you’re doing well in life
Bro why you making me cry 😢
I seriously can't get over haw _raw_ the emotion in this man's voice is.. damn
After seeing these guys live. I promise on my everything. It's only a matter of time before Foxing rules the world
Ethan Dombrowski saw them tonight, they’re still just as good
They’ll rule their world just like mgmt did. All that matters
Seven years later the world hasn't been informed it's under the rule of Foxing.
I just came from the Ashfur MAP... your voice is perfect for him
it's rare when a song makes my chest feel it's caving in
I like the name of the song

I like your last name - Donavan Cochran

My god this is scary good.
Saw them last night with Manchester Orchestra. Hands down the best opening band I've seen yet. Very entertaining performance. I was super impressed. Can't wait to see how far they go.
Same here. They opened for Coheed at the Norva and just blew me away. I went to see my favorite band and added another to my list to follow.
Saw them tonight with Manchester orchestra, it was incredible
I was at the Charlotte show!
Came here from a Ashfur map, man this is good.

When you step on your dogs paw and she lets out a sad whimper in pain.
His voice is insane
song lives rent free in my brain
I get chills everywhere when I listen to this song.
does anyone know how to do that melodic screaming he does?
Try the band 'mewithoutyou' songs like a poorly knit sweater

Pure emotion. Pure heart. This man has been broken down so many times and im so glad he has because this is the music us broken hearts need to hear.
I always found this song about more of an abusive parent relationship-
That's a cool view of the song.
Same
I started an animation a couple of days ago thinking this and now I found this lmao
I saw this band open for Manchester Orchestra in NYC and have been a fan ever since!!! Sooo underrated
Got to be within 5ft of this dude in concert amazing
I wrote you a letter
Asked your best friend to send it
But took to the sea before you could have read it
Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown
Extracted my heart while it was still beating
But glowing and red
And I swear that sweat would
Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it
I swear I'm a good man
I swear I'm a good man
So why don't you love me back?
Why don't you love me back?
Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence
In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset
And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest
My head made a home for the hum of the insects
But my hands shake and shudder at the mention
Of half hearted reasons why we'll only be friends
I swear I'm a good man
I swear I'm a good man
So why don't you love me back?

thought this was gonna be a bad song because my brother suggested it but I like it.
This shit reminds me of every single highschool mistake I made in just one video.
The Passion In His Voice Is Insane
deepest song I've ever heard I think
Read the story on facebook about you guys stolen gear, and in turn came to check out the music. Its amazing.
IamThe Booger Same
THIS SHIT BUSSIN
I like listening to this while watching the flowers in the garden sway in the wind
Goosebumps....EVERY.DAMN.TIME.
God, I am so in love with this song and the band.
Someone I used to know shown me this song. I still listen to this and still think of her. This is a powerful song!!!
i’m so sad i miss this song so much and it brings back such a painful time in my life... god i don’t know how to think or what to feel or anything at all.
Curls up to explode my ears. Swoon.
You’re trashy if you don’t see the absolute beauty and emotion in this
She will never love me the way I love her and that tears me up inside
WTF this song is . . . breath taking I just can't this song is AMAZING Omg I Love this band his voice is just incredible 😻😻😻
Almost forgot to listen to this today.
The feels. Thank you for being able to express a pain I can't.
My now ex showed me this song new years 2016. feelsbadman
Doves brought me here.. F'n amazing
i love this
This song breaks my heart.
This song will always evoke strong emotions in me
I love music like this it’s not like singing it’s kinda like a talking voice I can’t explain it but I love it
After all these years I’m still in love with this set design
How did this take 10 years to get to me so many styles I like mixed in
They are amazing live, I saw them in London at Bush Hall as co-headliner with Pianos Become The Teeth and they were very good. They all convey their emotions so well through their instruments, every song is just one giant emotional wave. I love Foxing.
If you came here from an Ashfur MAP then you’re a freaking legend
Yeah.
YASSSSSSSSSS
YAS
The anguish in his voice while he is singing this song is so powerful.
Saw them in a basement in Milwaukee in December 2013. One of the coolest shows I've ever been to.
I thought the noise in the background was my stomach and I got super self concious and paused the video, that confused me when I coudldn't hear it after xD
Aye, das my name
That's such a sick name
I’m aromatic but this song hurts like hell
So... how do you exactly smell like? Flowers? Kinda Citrus, maybe? Toilet Paper?
Cynthia Beutler idk
Kai tyyyy
Happy Early Pride everyone!
Y’know, it’s a stretch but I think the reason why it’s a wolf (fox?) and three pigs in the video is because it’s a reference to the three little pigs. The big bad wolf hurt them first but now the three little pigs are hurting him.
The "pigs" in reality are dogs if im correct,,,
im pretty sure the boy was a fox and the others were hunting dogs/hounds
but yeah if it is a wolf and pigs that makes sense
Saw them live last night opening for Circa Survive! Fell in love with them and this song!
The screaming caught me off guard in a good way.
This track is all the reassurance I need to love this band. So buying this album
i have loved this song for years, and the medic, and every album they have released. this band is amazing in so many ways. ♥
Good god this is the most beautiful and raw new thing to hit my ears in a while
Love this band!~ Love this album!
Really love every songs of foxing. Kills me in many waysssss
This hit me every single verse in my life
This is addicting.
My friend told me to check this out....not disappointed, actually shocked by how good it was.
This is so beautiful. Just got yourself a new fan
Salute this man.
He needs it. Please
So WHHYY DONT YOU LOVE ME BACKK?
god, that line is stuck in my head.
This is the first song to give me a breakdown and cause me to actually lip sy- also 2:23 hits hard-
dude these guys are really good.
amazing
@2:59 my feelings for this song hit its apex.
I love you guys🖤💕
Wow. So good.
Forever crying to this song
Beautiful 😢
I've been listening to this since release and only now do I truly get it, though I wish I didn't
I love this song
Dem feels
Incredible
Such feels.
The nice guy anthem.
Amazing first impression
