Garage sessions FAQ: some back-vocals were added later in order to be able to get more reverb on the vocals without mic bleed (the garage roof is made of acoustically reflective metal sheets, so we played vv quietly). Harmonies are triggered via Emma's vocal pedal. Sometimes, harmonies were added later, in situations where the pedal wasn't able to correctly follow harmonic modulations.
Voice & Guitar: Emma
Guitar: Jessy
Keys: Dragos
Bass: Cedric Martel
Drums: Eric Maillet
Say, can you hear
Is there a meaning to your grief?
Where there is pain
You see grace
As if sacrifice
Was meaningful end in itself
Your trial and error is error and error
Staying at the end of a hallway
Dozens of doors you never tried to open
Narrow vision, you’re the scapegoat
You fix things that have never been
Hoping for your turn
All the basement stories you heard
Waiting for the world
To bend around you
You’re self-absorbed
Raving about your cryptic ways
Aren’t willing to change
Old grudges
Staying at the end of a hallway
Dozens of doors you never tried to open
Narrow vision, you’re the scapegoat
You fix things that have never been

I love the moments where they look at each others like "damn dude we vibin"
i particularly like the durmmers vibe face
Haha
now thats passion right there :)
Google global truth project and click 'The Present" tab if you want to learn the truth about life/death. If everyone sees this text, it will turn the world right-side up.
Very wholesome :]
the guy on the keys radiates so much peace and happiness lol he's vibing
in tune with the earth wearing just socks too, king

He is high.
looks like he's going to pick up his mum from the airport; just focused on the task, cant wait to get there and just enjoying the drive!!!!
Love the 80's vibe, elegant simplicity and not very obvious melodies. Pretty cool.
Yeah reminiscent of CocteauTwins and TheCure. Love the guitars & keys !!!
It's the chorus pedal. :)
Was gonna say about the same thing. Very mellow 80's.
@@jeroenfigee Durutti Column vibes too eh?
@@MisyeDiVre Good shout. I was thinking The Sundays but this is a little bit more bass driven that their stuff.
When she sings "Dozens of doors you never tried to open" and those chords shimmer in the background, I get this really strong emotional reaction and think about how short life is. So nostalgic.
amen mr clinton
Thank you Mr. President
Thanks Bill
Way to ruin it buddy
I'm not your buddy @@Sillytommysadventure

Nah I'm just pretending to be a mad cult gender person - when in 2020, why not. Sorry for wasting yer time. It was all a daft joke based on our current reality. Kinda sad now. Aww. Ah well.
Hope you have a good week. Top tune this.
Such a beautiful chorus!! It's the note on "hallway", "tried to open", "scapecoat" etc that gets me.. So beautiful
I know this was posted in June but I feel like I saw this video at just the right moment. I got in an argument with my s.o. this morning over some pretty heavy shit relating to the state of the world, my own personal family situations and the general direction our lives are heading. But we spent some time alone with our thoughts, reflecting, I went to work, she did school, I came home from work and we talked it out like human beings, had a great meal, and now we're sitting watching UA-cam videos together just vibing. Despite how absolutely insane everything is right now, I'm more than aware of how lucky we are and how precious our time here is.
I lost 2 friends to suicide earlier this year, my car got flooded and my dad is getting released from prison after spending 26 years there. But despite all of that, I get to spend every day with my absolute best friend and the lyrics "You try to fix things that have never been broken, waiting for the world to bend around you" really do hit different. **Sorry for getting hella personal on a youtube comment, I don't know if y'all even run your own channel or not but I just wanted to let you guys know that this music really does mean a lot to so many different weird souls out here.
man I think I can speak for everyone when I say that anecdote is truly something special to appreciate ❤️
This year has been an absolute shit show for so many people. My SO and I had some serious talks about our future last week and now we're doing fine again. There's gonna be ups and downs, but the one comforting thought about life is that when there's a down there's always gonna be an up afterwards (at least in my experience).
It's weird how the words has gonne into a total shit storm
But at the same time...I'm happy
This year Is both the worst and the best I never had
Gonna be as personal as you were
Lost my grandma that my mom was deeply attached too , lost my godfather the day after I forgot to call him.
Still hate myself for that.m
My mom was so depressed she didn't even got up her bed for my 18th birthday.Lost my part time job/studies due to coronavirus.having trouble remembering my childhood due to PTSD
But hey, I feel kind of happy like
The whole world is fucked but ...at least people try to be more compassionate to each others.
Right now I'm in a place were....I would never have fucking guess I would be haha
Since I lost my part time job I applied to university, I got the place, got a pretty big appartment and I'm pretty happy of how I decorated it.I spent my last 3 months into sewing mask for my small family and friends and more to sell to have some savings.i feel useful.the new friends I made in university are...a bless. It's the first time I hear compliment without having imposter syndrome or feeling like it's not really what they think.
World's burning,thanks to that , I had the time to build my world into a better place I don't want to escape anymore.
My own life feels finally like mine.
Hello dear stranger.take some time to make you your favorite drink and replay that music
thanks for the story brother. hope things are clearing up and for the light to shine your way. sending love! =)
Thanks for sharing, I needed to see this. I can relate to some of this and I appreciate it. Keep loving yourself and remember that you are important and worth it.
Why does this live version of the song sound like the warm feeling of walking into your room on the heated floor after having a long bath. Maybe it’s just me
one day brother
@@cukoopmeekerlove3746 lmao "one day" as if that's the dream
@@brucewayne2184 mst people can't afford heated floor and bathtub large enough for an adult lol. It is a dream for some!
Heated floors? That's a thing? Learned something new today
@@emilily6513 Well the original commenter apparently has it or else he wouldn't know the experience. I'm just saying it's such a random thing to want. No one needs a heated floor.
The bassist made the whole second verse sound so powerfull...how he introduces the second chorus is real genius with his picking !!!
“Staying at the end of a hallway, dozens of doors you never tried to open” has meaning to me in a way where I always feel like I’m stuck, I have chances to make my life better but I never take them, I just sit and wait for the world to move around me. It’s an awful way for me to be , I know but I just never have the motivation to ever make myself better, my demons get the best of me.
you’re not alone .. I’m right there with you.
Your words are my words. It's like you're describing my life for as long as I can remember. Feel such apathy for everything and I just let the world happen to me without any desire or energy to affect the outcome of things.
Me too.
Who else is glad that this was randomly in their recommended?
I found it on the Good Doctor
This music is so therapeutic, thank you all for making a band.
I love it when youtube recommendations actually work.
Right. Pleasant surprise today among the sea of average.
That keyboardist is so baked he has no idea where to look lol. good for him.
Naw dude if you watch some of the other videos of these sessions the drummer looks high as hell😂
These guys? Getting baked? I don't see it.
He doesn't look baked at all.
he's high off his music
Mysticpoisen
Haha weeeeeeed am i right?!
that reverse slide pentatonic lick on that bass line into the bridge is everything at 1:38 Good job Cedric #fuego
Sorry. I´m 55 and I was living in Middle East countries the last years of my career (meaning that I´ve lost a few things in the world). But today I discovered this FANTASTIC group and its music and I fell in love with her..........Inmediate subscriptor. Cheers from Spain.
Beautiful, simply beautiful
I swear she sounds better live it’s so crisp and organic. Something more pure about it
@@m00py1 definitely not, you can tell
yeah this is exactly what i needed
Mali Hunter same it’s actually perfect because its my favorite song and then it was so unexpected plus the yellow subtitles are back :)
Meaning (from my perspective):
for me the song is a work of art, it talks about people who are trapped in their pain, and they like it, they don't let go of it, and they don't let go because they don't want to, they like to play the victims, "oh no! poor me , my situation, me this, me the other, I can't do anything, no way" and they love that, they love playing the role of victim, that's why the first lines of the song say that:
Lyrics:"Is there a reason for your grief?
where there is pain,
you see grace,
as if sacrifice Was meaningful end in itself,
Your trial and error is error and error"
But then, what is playing the victim? Well, playing the victim is blaming your situation, everything is to blame except you, because you are the victim, therefore, you take power away from yourself, because if you are the victim, you have no power over your situation, you cannot change anything because you are the victim of whatever you blame, but that is something external to you, you blame your situation, other people, or speaking in general to the universe! oh no poor me, why did this happen to me? :(, why did I have this situation in life? and others are more fortunate,:( if only I had this, if only I had the other, if only this happened.
then as you continue in that role, you don't change anything! you are still in your comfort zone waiting for something to happen, to be able to change, for the perfect moment to come, because you are still not well, you are bad, your situation is bad, you can not do anything so you wait for something to happen! and that's what the other part of the song refers to:
Lyrics "Staying at the end of a hallway
Dozens of doors you never tried to open
Narrow vision, you're the scapegoat
You try to fix things that have never been broken"
Of course, that's why she sings all that, you keep waiting and you never open the doors to try something new! You live it blaming your situation, you have a narrow view and you don't see the whole picture, you are trapped in your vision of a victim and that limits you to not seeing more directions, other possibilities, the beautiful and infinite possibilities that exist. but no, you prefer to be the scapegoat, you carry everything bad, everything bad happens to you, oh, poor thing, someone help him! you spend trying to fix things that have never been broken! EXACT!!! that's my favorite part of the song, "You try to fix things that have never been broken"
because if it is true you want to solve yourself, you think that you are wrong, that there is something wrong with you, you are the victim after all, everything bad happens to you, you spend it waiting for the day when you are finally well,
you want to solve something in which there is nothing to solve.
AND THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT YOU ARE ALREADY WELL, you are already perfect, just the way you are! but you do not accept yourself and that is what you have to do, accept yourself as you are, forgive yourself and forgive others and let go, and realize that, right now you are fine! The present is the only thing that exists! There is neither the past nor the future! only present, then only accept your present, seriously that, how your life changes, when you stop wishing, something else, when you stop wishing to be in another place and really be grateful with your present is that you will finally feel good , because you're fine now but you don't want to see it,
you are like an energy looking for perfection, looking for something to give it, to finally feel perfect! that everything is fine, but the poor thing doesn't realize that she is already perfect and she doesn't need anything!
And that's all, I think the rest does not need to be explained, just relate what remains of the song with everything I have explained and you will realize that it is the same thing I am talking about.
and that is for me the meaning of the lyrics of the song :)
haha I hope that someone will serve my reflection and if someone feels in that situation that the song talks about, then that it and my explanation make them reflect and stop playing the victims and start doing things, Let go, forgive yourself, accept yourself, forgive others, let go of the past, stop worrying so much about the future and do what you have always wanted to do, dare yourself!
ps: sorry for my english, my native language is spanish, i'm still learning english
Thank you.
thank you so much!! this hits my heart to the core! im exactly like this...
Wait ur actually right lol damn
you explained it perfectly! no problem reading it and yeah honestly this was something I've been needing to read for a while so I'm glad I came across this comment because I feel like I'm that person you described in the song but like you said peace begins with self acceptance so ill begin with that. thanks
thank you.. ive always love this song because how good the melody is.. but i never pay attention to the lyrics until now.. you words really did touch my heart❤❤
honestly, this version is much more beautiful, even though it doesn't have much difference
totally, there's just something about this one. Same as their "tailwhip (live)"
It’s like 3-5 bpm slower but it has a much more “organic” feel at this tempo.. less dancy and more groove.
@@srfokay I cant listen to the album one anymore, it just feels too fast now
Music will always feel better and more cohesive when musicians play together at the same time. Track by track recording can lose some of the magic
It's cos u r seeing a beautiful woman in this one.
Yup. Still just as good as the first day I heard it. Everything they do is just top tier excellence.
They're music is so chill and feels so good .

Yeah dude, they are definitely music.
@@danielrc14 AHAHAHAAH good one :-D

Yeah, chill brah
4th time in a row listening to this song, amazing, somehow nostalgic, Euphoric, comforting and a down right vibe. I cannot even begin to express my love for this song
These guys have a beautiful aesthetic vibe to them and their music....I love you Men I Trust🥲

i feel better today than i did yesterday
Man this bass player got the best job.... He kills on every track
So beautiful
This is so amazing, this version is so chill and ahh i love it so much
This is just, a vibe honestly.
her smile at the end, when she look around realizing what they just have made, is one of the purest thing I've ever seen
music is one of the few things i am grateful for in this life. i cry to this song every time, but they are happy tears. this song makes me feel so many things and i just want to say thank you for deciding to take your life in this direction and make this beautiful art for us to enjoy. it connects us all together in ways we can never repay you for
Emma, Jessy, Dragos and the team. These are some good humans. Nice description is there. They have so many wonderful dreamy 💭 songs, videos, and live shows. They are technically astute too. 👌🏼
The smirk on the bassist's face when he looks up. Such a specific moment that happens when ur jammin with ur buds and can't help but start cheesin. Love it.
_this weekend is gonna be amazing_
_love all your songs
Listening to yall before I go to sleep again. Broken. Waiting for the world to change around you
Men I trust, such an amazing band, you deserve everything in this World 💗
Vintage, yet fresh. Clever syntax-phrasing. In love after less than one minute!
I wish I had found you guys when I was in high school. Your music reminds me of those long afternoons after school, lying on my bed lazily plucking at my guitar strings while listening to music and daydreaming about what my future held. Those times when I thought I had it all figured out and knew the solutions to all the worlds problems. Now-a-days I realize I never truly had any of the answers except maybe one; Music.
They say time travel isn't possible but if there is anything close to a 1982 DeLorean equipped with a flux capacitor it's music like this.
twin peaks core
This band feels like being with your friends through a cold night going back home. It's a bit oppressing, no one speaks but it's fine cause you don't need to speak to understand each other
One of the best songs I've heard in years
that SNARE I love everything about it
I must cry its so Beauty
If ever a song has felt like it was written about me, for me, it's this one. Those lyrics hit hard.
waiting for this song to bend around me
Listening to this feels like there is some member of the band playing my heart as an instrument.
Beautiful.
I never thought the word "scapegoat" could sound so lovely.
Vibes and atmosphere is crazy
I hope you can come to Argentina!
we need a south america tour! stay safe
si, lo necesitamos
ay ojalaaaaaaaaa
que el Lollapalooza se ponga las pilas
Lollapalooza no por favor, con bandas nada que ver todo apretado en un estadio :p
Algun lugar chico, bandita amiga de telonera, un churrito y bailando bien piola ♥
I watched this like 50 times
THIS IS MAGIC
why this is so special, that music i dont know, it is just magical and healthy couple of sounds
Thanks youtube recommendations you're being gold sometimes
her smile screams the feeling of this song. I love these guys.
The garage sessions have been my go to music when I code! It makes me go to this 'trance like' state!~
Glad I'm not the only one who needs music to code (or produce decent code in my case lol).
They will forever be one of favorite bands
you guys are definitely the most underrated band of all times and i really really mean that.. and everything will be just fine.. i promise..
That "broken" in the end of chorus hits me straight in my heart. Every fukin' time! I love it.
It’s my favorite thing ever
This music really takes me back to being a moody teenager in high school. Lol I love it. Going to be on repeat in my headphones now for a while.
Well, that was highly refreshing, very nice, soothing, ephemeral, aesthetically pleasing, rather strapping, modestly brilliant, laid-back, asmr-tingling, and several other superlatives I cannot quite think of right now.
had the privilege to see them in shibuya in february last year before everything went to shit. such a wonderful gig, everyone was entranced. can't wait to see them again
This song is so relatable. Wow I’m in tears
tone on her guitar contrasted with the softness of the rest of the song is so spicysweet
voice of an angel i love it
Damn I don't know how I reached here or know who you guys are but this was beautiful!! I will go listen to ALL of your songs on Spotify! Thank you UA-cam algorithm, you do wonders sometimes.
Love how everyone seems to be enjoying themselves, looks so chill!

No wonder, considering she's really terrible at prounouncing english words...i met americans who couldnt understand a word she sung.
@@VeeeeryyyFaaaastSlooooth I think that is for her style rather than her pronunciation.....
I love the yellow subtitles
@@VeeeeryyyFaaaastSlooooth Saw em live I thought she was totally understandable
@@VeeeeryyyFaaaastSlooooth I can understand it perfectly, though I'm from the UK so idk if changes something - not sure why it would though
so good
Those drums sound CLEAN
My favorite song of this band
Clicked because she looks like Phoebe Bridgers in the thumbnail, stayed for the amazing music!
Same! I really thought Phoebe had started ANOTHER band lol
a rare thing that I listen to a song in the morning. glad I clicked on this song. made my morning better :)
Hey, your band is a great discovery for me. "Say can you hear" is by far the best. And I think it's great that you recorded this live version, because I like it much more than the studio version. Great mood (in all your songs actually). Great arangement and excellent lyrics.
"Lauren live at home" is also very nice and idea of clip in the wood is genious. I don't know how technically you recorded it, that it sounds so good.
Greetings and best wishes from Poland.
ten seconds in and I was already mesmerized, looking forward to more
Это так...прекрасно😍
It's pure Magic!
i love your music its so unique and deep
this makes me want to buy a carhartt beanie and an oversized vintage sweater in the most haunting, yet calming way
Underrated comment 🤣
@@Katie-t1b ey appreciate it hahaha 😅
this is literally my fav song I cant
this is like a angel sing to my ears

I'm so happy youtube recommended me this!

Really wonderful. So peaceful, hope you've been well during this quarentine
omg that bass, and her voice. Everything is serene. Relaxing vibes.
this version is my favourite, the vocals are better and the song overall feels more pure. soothing af

I have no idea why this was recommended to me, but it's really good.
Luv this song...
SUAVE COMO A NEVE QUE NUNCA SENTI
E PELA PRIMEIRA VEZ ESTOU AQUI.
MUITO BOA.
Thank You for this Song...
The first few notes of the chorus remind me of that damien rice song from the early 2000's called 9 crimes. Really digged this session, time to play guitar now.
Damien Rice is great.
This song will always remind me of my time in japan
only the second time I heard this type of sound, massive attack being the first. Not much of an music officianado, but it's nice to hear something so familiar yet new
A year later and I still can’t stop listening
Say, can you hear
