SomeLinkinParkFan When some people need it you should sing that the them it will make their day trust me I sang that part of the song to my best friend when she needed it most and she just looked at me and started crying tears of joy
Am I the only one, as a kid (around 8-9) I heard heavy metal music and I thought who the fuck would listen to this, but now I'm like who the fuck wouldn't?
When I was 13, I caught up with my mate at school, and I noticed he had earphones in, so me being the cheeky kid I was, I pulled one of his earphones out and put it in my ear "Whatcha listening to?" He was listening to Motionless In White. I said so many horrible things like "What the fuck that could make your ears bleed." And "how the fuck can you listen to music like that?!" 4 years later and I can't listen to anything but Motionless in white and Of mice and men 😂 so yeahh I know the feels
I wasn't like that but I didn't hear music this heavy until around my teens. What I CAN'T do is listen to this with my headphones on high volume but that's cause I can't listen to anything on these with it higher than one. Seriously, have you USED a gaming headset on max? It's deafening >_>
Yes I was like that, I'm 13 now and I can't get enough of it, it opened a whole new door, and it actually has so much meaning in the lyrics. I love it❤️
I like the song but it doesn't sound anything like OM&M. This is a very generic sounding song, and the lyrics are generic too. The thing that I like about OM&M is that they have a sound that no other band has. When they come through your speakers, you KNOW that it's OM&M. And their lyrics have never been generic or mainstream. But this doesn't sound like them to me and the lyrics are nothing new. That's why I'M disappointed.
It's just in relation to their old music. It used to have a lot more meaning with their heavier break downs and Austin's screams were outstanding, now they're just like every other typical post hardcore bands unclean vocals. Don't get me wrong, I kind of enjoy it, but I enjoy their older music a lot better.
Joseph Saxon Oh okay, gotcha. I haven't heard much of their old stuff so I'm no one to judge. Thanks for the clarification, I was wondering why the new stuff was getting so much negative feedback.
***** I'm not sure if I should be or not, but I'm kind of offended by this comment. What does my race have to do with anything? I didn't know it made a difference in how many likes my comment got, but okay.
You guys should stop complaining. The guitars sound awesome, Austin's voice perfect as ever. Not Tino's best work but it is still really sick. And about Aaron's voice, damn it, of course he isn't shay but he still have really cool vocals and they fit perfectly this song. They are changing and we can't say if that's good or bad yet because this is only the first song of the album. For some reason the first song released is the most generic one just so people who are not into this type of music can listen to it too. Guys, keep the good job going, your fans are still here!
Bro i been havin a rough time in life and switching jobs I've been at for 8 years and you definitely gave me a confidence boost going into my higher paying more demanding job, i know this doesnt affect you in any way but thank you random commenter for posting this
When it feels like all is lost, & there's no guide that's left to prove it, Take a look inside, cherish your life & live before you lose it. My teacher wrote that on the back of my test because he knew I love Of Mice and Men. He passed away recently in an accident and I keep the paper with the lyrics on it in my binder so I can read them when I'm depressed. RIP Mr. Sevigny
I hate how every fangirl are commenting how "this song sucks" and how "they're worried for the album." This is the bands choice to start moving in a new direction, and I think the song kicks ass. Not to mention how much hard work goes into making a single song, let alone an entire album.
Some people say it brings shame, others just like it. Then there are some who sit and listen in tears, because this is just what they needed to hear....
This song would mean so much to people and I don't think half of you realise. Austin's always said he wants to help people and this song is just another way of getting his message across. Of Mice & Men is a family to so many people, not just some band. They've helped so many people and have saved a countless amount of lives. what if Austin and the guys see your comment? They work so hard for you, the fans, to try and give you what you want. to try and make the fans happy and what do you do? throw it back in their faces. seriously, grow up.
no, the fans turned me away. because they didn't seem to care about the music. only the looks. therefore I hated this band. I thought they were mainstream corporate machines. but no, it's just a good band. when I saw them perform Second and Sebring live, I knew the fan base wasn't there for the looks. They sang every damn word. and that impressed me. so sorry for having an old opinion.
There are bullshitty fangirls who are here for the looks and softer album. I loved all albums and most of the fans are real here. Just love the music, man.
I'm really DG'n this new song. Sure it sounds different from their usual stuff that everyone knows, but this band is simply amazing so who cares? I got great expectations for the new album.
ISN1P3RYOU If this is good lyrics I would be a fucking genius! I wrote such great poetry when I was in 4th grade!! That's how generic and simple it was hahaha
UZ1 The first section of lyrics were good. And I really don't care what you think to be honest. Haha.. Not to be rude, I like the song, that's all that matters to me. Thanks for your imput though! :P
UZ1 Every band has that "mainstream" song anyway. I'm sure the album will be great, this is just one small part of it. Now if the entire album is like this lyrically I will be dissapointed, but yeah. That's all I have to say.
Every member of OF&M are professional musicians. They wouldn't write crap music and expect people to buy it. Every experienced band that recognizes that in order to obtain a successful career in music, change is necessary. Not so drastic that it makes them unfamiliar with what their fans are used to, just a more mature, yet enjoyable sound to it. Look at All That Remains, they did an amazing job transitioning to their old style of music to what they play now.
I get what you mean but no, if we make hopecore a thing then people will ask why there isn't angstcore, hungrycore, contemplativecore, discombobulatedcore, mondaymorningcore and so on.
this sounds nothing like Korn and other nu metal bands, so please explain where you got nu metal from this is clearly still metal core and explain how they sold out
Of Mice & Men has been at the top of this genre for quite some time now. But if this album is anything like this, they will surely fall and only have fan girls left supporting them. This isn't anything crazy or special that makes OM&M, well, OM&M.
all the same despite the fact that they have changed a lot in the genre - admittedly a great song! but if the whole album is in such a direction - it certainly would not be very .. sorry for my (or rather "Google translator") lousy English
It's been a long time since it hasn't mostly just been fangirls. I used to love this band more than anything. Now it seems they're just trying to fulfill people's insecurities to make money. Not sure if it's that or if it's just me growing up and finding new music. And just to back up my argument i can gurantee people will bitch at me for this comment, which shows that the fanbase is majorly built up of teen fangirls.
Dan Johnson I'm with you here man. Loved OM&M big time years ago but as I've got older and matured I've been getting into different music. It takes a very solid album to make me want to purchase music of this genre anymore and this song didn't cut it. Truly trying to fulfill peoples insecurities for sure. If people like it, that's fine, just not the OM&M I'm personally looking for right now.
Dude why are so many people hating on this its pretty good, not as heavy and raw as previous albums but still good. Remember this is one song out of 12 on the album!
Everyone knows you can't make good music without using profanity and drugs to sell it, and without demeaning women at every opportunity. Just ask Lil Wayne. Lmao I crack myself up sometimes.
I love this song, and haters can hate, but it rocks! Doesn't matter if it's hard or not, only matters how good it is, and lyrically very well produced, plus singing
i seem to remember the band saying something about '3 distinctive sounds' on their album, the new sound (this) their oldest sound (original album) and the Flood's heavier guitars sound. i love them all, cant wait for the album
This has a classic vibe to it. The dynamics are executed pretty well too. Can't wait for the rest of the album. I don't know why a lot of people are ripping on this. It's actually really good!
This sounds really good. Seriously. I'm glad they have changed their sound. It's for the betterment of their existence. Bands who stay the same don't get far. Cheers to musical innovation!!
You guys know what i really love about THIS special youtube video? Because HERE people are kinda "grown ups" and talk about the music and its changes really professional ... without hating, without whining (nearly)... Just different opinions and their arguments ... I love the community here in comparison to other bands in this genre! Greetings
haha, that's all it'll take, an opinion to butthurt someone. when it is face to face, no one will bother anyone, but on the internet, it's too personal and dramatic. hey, where are the good old days when you just go to football games and start a riot/fight for no reason? instead, just get high and be naked. where's the good old days where you or someone get's their rear kicked, they just admit it in defeat and just e friends with the person you lost against because of respect. where's the good old days where 11 to 14 year olds act like their age, not 21 and being a slut for those older men. and now, this is just a random comment because I am BORED. nothing wrong with that XD
Gill, for one, apparently you made a douchebag post too. Second off. I don't remember making statement this at all. I guess one of my buddies posted it when I had it up. Oh well, but that statement i didn't post made a good point
For those of you freaking out on us who don't like the song and telling us that every band changes: yes, we know that and we encourage that! Coming into this song I was expecting a different sound, but not a worse sound. I remember in 2009 when I first heard OM&M they were so much different sounding than any other band I had ever heard and had so much to bring to the table. If I didn't know what Austin sounded like when he screamed and I was blindfolded so I couldn't see the name of the band, I wouldn't be able to tell who it was because it sounds so much like everything else that is out there. I am all for change and progression and I was really rooting for OM&M to bring something refreshing to the genre but this is far from that.
RollOverBeethoven63 his career isn't over, he's gonna keep making music. he can still sing. he can't scream. and always remember, if he got you through hard times in your life, music lasts forever. his legacy is gonna live on. it made people like you and I realize we're worth something. he's still with us :)
Its really nice hearing Aaron finally on recorded studio stuff. Seems Austin is trying new things with his vocals. This song is ok, but I hope there are more original/unique songs on the album.
I am in love with this song! Even if they sound different... who cares, it's about the lyrics and how passionate all the members in the band are! OF MICE & MEN, this song truly means alot to me because I have been struggling alot and am really starting to give up. I can't wait for your album to come out, I promise I won't leave at least until you're album comes out
I personally think this is an amazing change for OM&M. Their sound is much more mature now. Austin's raw vocals with Aaron's beautiful cleans go together perfectly IMO. I do agree the lyrics are bit lackluster. However, this is only one song. There is no reason to judge an entire album based on one song.
I like it. If OM&M are doing something they like, more power to them. The song has a message. If the rest of the album has clean tracks, and meaningful songs, I'll go out and buy it.
xD Plot twist, he's casually listening to Mozart! :D Although, if we looked at it from a realistic view point, the devil is about sin and greed and the only thing that can really relate to that perfectly is the Pop Genré where it's all about the "money, money, money, money, that makes worrrld turn" and how people think they're "sexy and I know it"....I'll go to the corner now.
As you can tell from my earlier comment i wasnt really into this song. I listened to it more and im starting to really fucking love it. Im glad i gave it another chance. Aarons vocals sound great.
Why is everyone saying that they sound different and they want the old OM&M back? IF they made this album the same as their previous you would be moaning about how they all sound the same, so please if you do not like it shut up and leave.
If this is the first song you've heard from them you may not like their older stuff. It was way better. However I understand that this is just one song out of an entire album. There may be gems.
I personally think Aarons voice does fit quite well. I love it. Of course I'll still love old OM&M just the same. Whoever thinks this is bad is really close minded because all that changed is the clean vocals. Why is it such a big deal
Jacob Miller Im also a musician and songwriter and personally I wouldn't have thrown it out. But that's your opinion and you're entitled to it so I wont argue with you. By the way there's****
Taylor Ann music is a creative outlit for an artist. like drawing or painting, or writing, or dancing. once it loses the creativity, its just cashing in on what you can. i personally dont enjoy lyrics, i enjoy music, and the music is less than stellar. this is why i dont enjoy the song. i still hope it will be a good album, but in my opinion its a bad song.
this song saved my life so many times. we need to stop and appreciate the good austin is doing for our world. he changed my life for the bettter and he can do it for the WHOLE world. i love you, lord carlile. i pray to you every fucking night, and also sometimes oli sykes because i luv him
therealfolkblues007 that's truly amazing. that's PROOF OF HOW we NEED to accept carlile as our lord. your mother IS A BITCH. but austin is not. he's so nice and guess wat. I met him at warped this year and he put a smiley face enxt to his signature when he signed my arm which shows he CARES about his fans like mmf bmth wcar and bbq
ItzAmufn Have you ever tried writing a song? It isn't easy. Sure the message may be a little over used, but it's still not a reason to bitch about it. Just look for new bands that carry different meanings in their songs.
Joseph Emanuele I don't know about the rest of you but Of Mice & Men's other stuff was way more unique in my opinion. That's why I loved it so much cause Shayley's voices was epic, Austins screams weren't the best but pretty dam good and different, and the bass/guitar/drums sounded a hell of a lot better. This (aside from Austin) sounds like every mediocre rock band you hear on the radio.
i cANT BELIEVE I DIDNT GET INTO THIS BAND SOONER THEY'RE SO AMAZING I WISH I WAS MORE INTO THEM LIKE A YEAR AGO WHEN I WAS SUICIDAL DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS WOULD'VE HELPED?! im mad at myself now -.-
Here come all of the people judging a band's changes on one fucking song. This song is lyrically beautiful, it may not be the best song of theirs, but it's something new and different. Quit being so ignorant to a band's interests and talent.
People don't like the new style. Everyone has the right to post their criticism about the new direction the band is going towards. Quit being ignorant over other opinions.
Like sumSOTY said, everybody is entitled to their opinion, it's ignorant for you to expect people to forget about their own personal tastes and opinions just because a band is trying something new. People are allowed to not like a new style that a band is doing. Just look at Load and Reload...
I'm 21 years old, went through my high school years listening to bands like korn, Thursday, Rise Against and Billy Talent, I looked to them as guidance. Never would have looked to a screamo band as a way to get out of the real world, simply because you don't look for lyrics in this genre. I'm in University to be a secondary teacher, I rely on these bands, such as Of Mice and Men, to shape an individual just as much as I do.. And I'll still be giving the shoulder to my future students in the pits
So this song's based on self esteems and depression, good we need songs like that. I live in a negative environment and we needs songs that have outstanding life saving lyrics like this. Because I need them really badly (reason: unwanted thoughts of suicide)
This will probably be a fantastic album. They're to young of a band to have changed their style much. I remember when Korn released Never Never and I thought that album would be awful because of it. Then the album came out and I was seriously impressed. I feel this is the single song that was meant to be released to appeal to as many people as possible. I'm sure it will make a nice bridge song in-between having our faces pummelled by the heavy stuff.
2017 has barely started and I already miss Austin so much. I'm just glad I had the chance to see them live over the summer. Of Mice & Men is one of my favorite bands, but I don't think it will ever be the same.
This song and "when you can't sleep at night" seriously helped me. Of mice and men saved my life by their lyrics. It's sad how much people hate on their music, if you don't like them, then don't even bother commenting. It's that simple👌
Austin, you're not alone, we love you.
I miss him 😢😢

This has a classic vibe to it. The dynamics are executed pretty well too. Can't wait for the rest of the album. I don't know why a lot of people are ripping on this. It's actually really good!
This sounds really good. Seriously. I'm glad they have changed their sound. It's for the betterment of their existence. Bands who stay the same don't get far. Cheers to musical innovation!!
You guys know what i really love about THIS special youtube video?
Because HERE people are kinda "grown ups" and talk about the music and its changes really professional ... without hating, without whining (nearly)...
Just different opinions and their arguments ...
I love the community here in comparison to other bands in this genre!
Greetings
haha, that's all it'll take, an opinion to butthurt someone. when it is face to face, no one will bother anyone, but on the internet, it's too personal and dramatic. hey, where are the good old days when you just go to football games and start a riot/fight for no reason? instead, just get high and be naked. where's the good old days where you or someone get's their rear kicked, they just admit it in defeat and just e friends with the person you lost against because of respect. where's the good old days where 11 to 14 year olds act like their age, not 21 and being a slut for those older men. and now, this is just a random comment because I am BORED. nothing wrong with that XD
This is a classical douche-bag-look-at-me-I'm-grown-post
Gill, for one, apparently you made a douchebag post too. Second off. I don't remember making statement this at all. I guess one of my buddies posted it when I had it up. Oh well, but that statement i didn't post made a good point
Gill Ambrose Right back at ya
Oh hello there new favorite song
Oh hello there new favorite comment! :)
O hello there future favorite album
This is perfect. I am SO excited for this album.
Excited for this dick
k
For those of you freaking out on us who don't like the song and telling us that every band changes: yes, we know that and we encourage that! Coming into this song I was expecting a different sound, but not a worse sound. I remember in 2009 when I first heard OM&M they were so much different sounding than any other band I had ever heard and had so much to bring to the table. If I didn't know what Austin sounded like when he screamed and I was blindfolded so I couldn't see the name of the band, I wouldn't be able to tell who it was because it sounds so much like everything else that is out there. I am all for change and progression and I was really rooting for OM&M to bring something refreshing to the genre but this is far from that.
Goddammit I miss Austin 😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖
RollOverBeethoven63 his career isn't over, he's gonna keep making music. he can still sing. he can't scream. and always remember, if he got you through hard times in your life, music lasts forever. his legacy is gonna live on. it made people like you and I realize we're worth something. he's still with us :)
Same.
did he save your life?
@@JasonEllingsworth nah turns out he is a pedophile
It's been interesting to see how Austin's screams have changed over time.
this song literally gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. I can't wait until the next song and album to be released.
Its really nice hearing Aaron finally on recorded studio stuff. Seems Austin is trying new things with his vocals. This song is ok, but I hope there are more original/unique songs on the album.
seems like I'm the only one who thinks this is their best album yet?
Nah you're not alone ;)
right
i think its their best one
omg I totally agree!! xD
alexcuseME i see what you did there
I am in love with this song! Even if they sound different... who cares, it's about the lyrics and how passionate all the members in the band are! OF MICE & MEN, this song truly means alot to me because I have been struggling alot and am really starting to give up. I can't wait for your album to come out, I promise I won't leave at least until you're album comes out
I personally think this is an amazing change for OM&M. Their sound is much more mature now. Austin's raw vocals with Aaron's beautiful cleans go together perfectly IMO. I do agree the lyrics are bit lackluster. However, this is only one song. There is no reason to judge an entire album based on one song.
This song...dear god its amazing xD
why is there so much good music all of a sudden appearing in 2014
It's 2013 still. Also this song sucks ass.
Will Smith fuck you, this song is amazing.
webshow202 ehhhh, not really
I like it. If OM&M are doing something they like, more power to them. The song has a message. If the rest of the album has clean tracks, and meaningful songs, I'll go out and buy it.
Lili Zulas It's not even fully clean... OMAM has a dozen tracks with cleans already. Let Live, Second & Sebring, you name it.
Why does everyone always associate satan with heavy metal
For all we know satan could like smooth jazz
xD Plot twist, he's casually listening to Mozart! :D
Although, if we looked at it from a realistic view point, the devil is about sin and greed and the only thing that can really relate to that perfectly is the Pop Genré where it's all about the "money, money, money, money, that makes worrrld turn" and how people think they're "sexy and I know it"....I'll go to the corner now.
That part about pop being more of a devil's favourite because of what it represents make sense. I may quote you on this. Thanks for the info!
Maeiko You're welcome, feel free to quote me on that. ^.^
***** ;)
^//^
As you can tell from my earlier comment i wasnt really into this song. I listened to it more and im starting to really fucking love it. Im glad i gave it another chance. Aarons vocals sound great.
Am I the only one who likes this more than their other stuff?
Why is everyone saying that they sound different and they want the old OM&M back? IF they made this album the same as their previous you would be moaning about how they all sound the same, so please if you do not like it shut up and leave.
Don't lets this album bring you down, there's always hope for better Of Mice CDs.
How did I not listen to OM&M before now... props to heather for recommending them to me. C: tank u heatherrr
If this is the first song you've heard from them you may not like their older stuff. It was way better. However I understand that this is just one song out of an entire album. There may be gems.
When your reflection in the mirror smiles back. It lies, You know it! :)
What if your reflection frowns back at you?
Then it tells the truth
Deeeeep!!!!!
stephanie blessings ...that's the lyrics
There always hope for the willing!!
'You're not alone, you're with me'
Thanks Of Mice & Men.
This gave me goosebumps. Can't wait for this album. I love this band so much
from under the cork tree ;)
I like their new and old style..
I like how Austin complains about how all these bands sound alike and yet here is om&m sounding like any other Rise band, i still love them tho.
I can't believe this is 9 years old. Time flies and to worst
i really hope the rest of the album sounds better, i love om&m, but i really miss their old style.
I'm digging this and I have been into them for awhile now. I'm not judging until I hear the whole record
Have been a huge fan of OM&M from day one and now I'm even more stoked for their album!
I wanna see them live...
+Rene Rodriquez they came to my town, i wouldve went, but moshpits.
seeing them at slam dunk
+Rene Rodriquez praying they play at Warped this year
Seeing them at Slamdunk South 🇬🇧👌🏻
hope you get your wish ''eh''
This is perfect
yep
I love om&m and this song sucks dick
Dan Martel obviously don't love them enough, every band changes at a point, sit the fuck down and have a cry.
xPhizzeh Fuck you.
xPhizzeh
Loving a band doesn't mean you have to love EVERY single song the band does.
I personally think Aarons voice does fit quite well. I love it. Of course I'll still love old OM&M just the same. Whoever thinks this is bad is really close minded because all that changed is the clean vocals. Why is it such a big deal
and theirs no creativity in this. as a musician, and a songwriter if i wrote this i would throw it out.
Jacob Miller Pity. Why Does it need to be creative.? they're making music to help people, not to inspire their creative side.
Jacob Miller Im also a musician and songwriter and personally I wouldn't have thrown it out. But that's your opinion and you're entitled to it so I wont argue with you. By the way there's****
Taylor Ann Exactly
Taylor Ann music is a creative outlit for an artist. like drawing or painting, or writing, or dancing. once it loses the creativity, its just cashing in on what you can. i personally dont enjoy lyrics, i enjoy music, and the music is less than stellar. this is why i dont enjoy the song. i still hope it will be a good album, but in my opinion its a bad song.
On a positive note, Aaron matches the sound really well.
Idk why but Austin screaming "you're not alone you're with me" is so comforting
this song saved my life so many times. we need to stop and appreciate the good austin is doing for our world. he changed my life for the bettter and he can do it for the WHOLE world. i love you, lord carlile. i pray to you every fucking night, and also sometimes oli sykes because i luv him
therealfolkblues007 that's truly amazing. that's PROOF OF HOW we NEED to accept carlile as our lord. your mother IS A BITCH. but austin is not. he's so nice and guess wat. I met him at warped this year and he put a smiley face enxt to his signature when he signed my arm which shows he CARES about his fans like mmf bmth wcar and bbq
I really hope that it gets better than this cuz im buying this album anyway. Gotta support my guy Aaron
Why are people so scared of change? Listen to the lyrics and take them in, they have good meaning.
These lyrics make me cringe, we've heard lyrics like this a million times. The next time I hear "you're not alone" I'm gonna drink bleach.
ItzAmufn agreed
ItzAmufn Have you ever tried writing a song? It isn't easy. Sure the message may be a little over used, but it's still not a reason to bitch about it. Just look for new bands that carry different meanings in their songs.
We are allowed to be critics.
I never said you cant be
I'm so excited to see these guys in February. :)
I'm seeing them in February too!
Sweet! Which place?
Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln!
Ok well have fun. It's gonna be a great show!
Are you seeing them in Spokane Washington? I might see them at the Bing Crosby theater.
How did 1,699 people dislike this!? This is fucking art!
I've never been a fan of OM&M, but I have to say that I dig this song a lot, it's pretty unique compared to their older stuff.
Lol? other way around there buddy.
Metsky Diver Personally, I think the new Of Mice & Men is way better than the old. And this is coming from a die-hard fan.
Metsky Diver
What do you mean?
Joseph Emanuele I don't know about the rest of you but Of Mice & Men's other stuff was way more unique in my opinion. That's why I loved it so much cause Shayley's voices was epic, Austins screams weren't the best but pretty dam good and different, and the bass/guitar/drums sounded a hell of a lot better. This (aside from Austin) sounds like every mediocre rock band you hear on the radio.
Metsky Diver Agree with Metsky!
Don't let the screams and double bass drum fool you. This is a pop song.
I never thought I would hear Of Mice & Men or any Rise core band on the radio, but I did today on 95 WIIL Rock in Chicago area and I like this song.
This is freakin Awesome! I love the new album!
i just got it *o*
clover smith It's a shame you can't do the * o * anymore xC
It´s funny I met Of Mice & Men because I was looking for the movie from the novel for literature and I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE BAND!
sooooo excited for the tour yay
i cANT BELIEVE I DIDNT GET INTO THIS BAND SOONER THEY'RE SO AMAZING I WISH I WAS MORE INTO THEM LIKE A YEAR AGO WHEN I WAS SUICIDAL DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS WOULD'VE HELPED?! im mad at myself now -.-
+Hey Moon you found them now at least lol welcome to the party
Daniel Pothier i was trying to get into them a while ago when i was going to go the concert but the lead singer of lincoln park broke his foot
+Hey Moon same!!!
+Hey Moon OMG I REMEMBER THAT AS WELL I LITERALLY CRIED WHEN CHESTER BROKE HIS LEG :'( I tried to get tickets as well ;-;
+Hey Moon sexy you photo
I'm not too crazy about his screams but his cleans are outstanding
different dude does cleans.
nope aaron does.
Aaron Pauley does all the vocals besides Austin's screams
The screams and cleans are done by different people
Nice Lyrics "Strength In Numbers"
- Strength In Numbers
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
this is a good song. i think the new sound will be a little better. can actually understand whats being said. The album will probably be badass
Of Mice & Men just earned a new fan!
Here come all of the people judging a band's changes on one fucking song. This song is lyrically beautiful, it may not be the best song of theirs, but it's something new and different. Quit being so ignorant to a band's interests and talent.
People don't like the new style. Everyone has the right to post their criticism about the new direction the band is going towards. Quit being ignorant over other opinions.
These lyrics are fucking generic
***** Go fack yourself
Like sumSOTY said, everybody is entitled to their opinion, it's ignorant for you to expect people to forget about their own personal tastes and opinions just because a band is trying something new. People are allowed to not like a new style that a band is doing. Just look at Load and Reload...
*****
so spreading a positive message in a song is generic wow you're so cool
This sounds awesome! I already pre-ordered the album a while ago. Can't wait!
Great song. Melody was well build, and I loved the lyrics. Perfect.
I'm 21 years old, went through my high school years listening to bands like korn, Thursday, Rise Against and Billy Talent, I looked to them as guidance. Never would have looked to a screamo band as a way to get out of the real world, simply because you don't look for lyrics in this genre. I'm in University to be a secondary teacher, I rely on these bands, such as Of Mice and Men, to shape an individual just as much as I do.. And I'll still be giving the shoulder to my future students in the pits
So this song's based on self esteems and depression, good we need songs like that. I live in a negative environment and we needs songs that have outstanding life saving lyrics like this. Because I need them really badly (reason: unwanted thoughts of suicide)
i love when this song comes on during mid-set in my workout. this shit hypes me up @ the chorus
This will probably be a fantastic album. They're to young of a band to have changed their style much. I remember when Korn released Never Never and I thought that album would be awful because of it. Then the album came out and I was seriously impressed. I feel this is the single song that was meant to be released to appeal to as many people as possible. I'm sure it will make a nice bridge song in-between having our faces pummelled by the heavy stuff.
OH MY GOD I FINALLY FOUND THIS AFTER SO LONG I USED TO LISTEN TO THIS ALL THE TIME O-o
Wow they've changed a lot! I like them now!
hey. you. yes you reading this. you are beautiful. you are not alone
2017 has barely started and I already miss Austin so much. I'm just glad I had the chance to see them live over the summer. Of Mice & Men is one of my favorite bands, but I don't think it will ever be the same.
This song and "when you can't sleep at night" seriously helped me. Of mice and men saved my life by their lyrics. It's sad how much people hate on their music, if you don't like them, then don't even bother commenting. It's that simple👌
