The more I listen to it the more I like it. I'm crazy to hear it live.
Same here. It has a simple, radio friendly format, but with those clever Band Maid stylings injected throughout.
100% agree, this song is a good introductory song to more listener who doesn't know who they are...
For me it's a perfect blend of Mike's guitar riffs and Band-Maid's musical style. And I think you're spot on with the lyrics and the Maids feelings towards each other.
Hey John! Thank you for reacting to me video! I'm glad that you love that incredible song ❤
The first 3 descending notes from the second line of the chorus hit home very nicely. I bet Saiki loves singing this.
Love the lyrics . Band Maid is love.
Thank you Mike Einzinger for composing this beauty and thank you Band-Maid for providing your musical excellence in this masterpiece of a song. This is a song with completely English lyrics that should get serious airplay on rock radio in the U.S. and Europe. Band Maid never disappoints. Miku's lyrics are so uplifting and (I feel) a tribute to her bandmates. Mohammed Ali once said, "If you don't understand the meaning of friendship, then you understand nothing." Truer words were never spoken. I am now not only a Maidiac, I'm a "Bestie"!!!!!
Its not daydreaming for me, but it is a good song. It is always nice seeing the maids doing a power ballad.
Thank you for the reaction. Yeah, it really sounded like Miku was expressing lyrically the intimacy and care the members of the band feel for each other - probably an overall rare thing among rock bands, esp to the degree of this band. I really loved this song, esp the vocals (their vocal/backing vocal melodies are often insanely beautiful together), sung well in English by Saiki and Miku. I'm sure the members felt thrilled to be working with such an accomplished and talented artist llike Mike Einziger. Hope they do another song together!
バンドメイドは、どんな曲も良いですな〜
The old 'start over' brigade will slate this, but its a great song, appreciate the band for their artistry, songwriting, warmth and emotion that goes into every song.
I don't like this way of trying to minimizing different opinions. Someone could just as easily say, "The old 'Band-Maid can do no wrong' brigade will say this song is great..." and bla bla bla.
For the record I really enjoy the song.
@@tinyhato you've just minimised my opinion, i don't mind 🤣🤘🤘
Yo si soy de la brigada de los 'start over' xD
I think what the issue is people that instead of saying "I don't prefer this" say "this is bad" or other non subjective criticism. It's one song, it's obviously very heartfelt lyrics and they just had some fun making a song with a new friend that respects them enough to want to work with them, fans should be Happy for them whether the song moves one individually or not as the band seems to be happy with it .
This song has been stuck in my head….
I love MISA's playing... and Akane's... and Kanami's... and the recording is good, too! Miku's lyrics are heartfelt. "I can't look into your eyes." Is Saiki her bestie? But Saiki masterfully delivers her lyrics, as always. BTW - The volume of lyrics and nuanced melodies she's committed to memory over the years is simply mind-blowing!
Mikey did good at giving them his direction for the song, and probably helped with the English lyrics -- a good growth for Miku's craft. I don't understand why Kanami said she couldn't have come up with the main riff. Probably just her being super polite, as usual.
I like the groove and feel of the song. I was waiting for, "I don't give a f**k" at the end. But maybe with these particular "Bestie" lyrics, that wouldn't be such a good idea. Even though at first listen it felt on par with Start Over It will undoubtedly do what every Band-Maid song does -- grow on you. Got to break through to the mainstream market with a few cuts, right? Hopefully Bestie helps with that! Thx, Band-Maid! And thanks, John!
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!
🍺🥴
The MISA Akane show, they bring something totally different to this song. Saiki showing that she's a beast with her vocals and Miku adding all the harmonizes and vocal embellishments along with such great lyrics. Kanami, as usual, displays a brilliant restrained performance. An overall great Band-Maid song.
I can feel the incubus vibe...it's like a I MISS YOU song by incubus ....
I have to agree completely with your analysis
A question for the Maidiacs:
Everywhere I’ve looked (thus far) BAND-MAID is always hyphenated and in ALL CAPS.
And on every official release I’ve seen from our MAIDS (so far) “from now on” is always presented in all lower case lettering.
Is there a reason or backstory for these details?
- BAND-MAID newbie as of January 13, 2024.
ps - I like it in the pigeonhole! Po!
I like that you used the lyric video by @Ohrenje And you know I'll be there on May 10th 🤘
5/10 maid day.zepp haneda.I'm going too！
😁
Only Mike Einziger participated in the collaboration as far as I know. He’s credited as the co-writer. I’m thinking he’s also helped with the arrangement of this.
The way Miku progressed in her lyrics writing, I see her soon writing lyrics for other artists as well
FYI. You're missing a whole bunch of videos on your Band Maid playlist
This is basically Mike writing w/ Band Maid.
Its a good song but its not a typical bandmaid song that madiacs is familiar with, i think its safe to say that this is the SIMPLIEST song they ever played.. Just my opinion..
I think it's Miku's song to the other band members it's how she feels about them
Now if band-maid collaborated with Stu MacKenzie i would go absolutely nuts haha, but im pretty sure that'll never happen. This songs not bad, i prefer the more hard classic style rock of theirs tho.
When you gonna react to wintersun?
This can break into mainstream music. I’m betting Miku knows this
About time Band-Maid did a slower song so that we can fully appreciate the shear quality in everything they do. Fast and loud is not always best. Great song. More please Band-Maid. Oh yes, and all cred to Saiki for singing in English- way to go for the rest of the world.
About time? Two of their last 3 official releases have been slow songs. Memorable, and this with only Shambles in between.
2024 IU WORLD TOUR
CONCERT IN SEOUL LOVE WİNS ALL REACTION PLEASE
John, you should link to the official audio on UA-cam, instead of the unofficial one. The band deserves the views: ua-cam.com/video/OvoR_Xt8mzM/v-deo.html
I’m still not sold on it. It doesn’t feel like a step forward for BM. Looking forward now to the next release.
I hate to say it but even though it's nice it's totally ordinary. Musically it's a step backwards to my ears. I've listened a number of times and haven't changed my mind. I actually feel bad about my reaction.
As an opinion, it is as valid as any other opinion. Sometimes, all of us do need to take a step back and chill I guess. This song is not about the technicality, it's about the sentiment.
As you said, it's a nice song, even if it's ordinary.
People have to realize that this is a one-off creative adventure they wanted to do with an American artist. It would be a different story if they did a whole album like this. I doubt if this will actually be on the new album. Listen to it and if you like it, that's cool... if you don't like it, that's cool too. This is a way to expand their fan base. I wouldn't be surprised if we see another stand-alone single with The Warning released close to their concert together. Thanks to Ohrenje for the lyric video but remember to go listen to Band-Maid's official release.
Yep and I think it was fun for them, they like learning from other artist and I get the impression this was not so much written to try desperately to enter the mainstream as much as just trying different things.
People are gonna hate me for saying this, but I think Incubus is just using Band Maid's popularity to gain today's generation of rockers to rekindle interest in them. I mean, when did they have their last hit?
I just hate saiki singing English its kinda cringe to me 😂
To be fair, the #1 comment people make when the question is asked “How can B-M become bigger?” is ALWAYS “They should sing in English.” And yet when they do, they get slagged for it (see “Dragon Cries”). So they’re damned if they do, damned if they don’t. I love them in any language.
Dragons cries is better than this but I just think they shouldn't be trying to sing in English ti suit people if they clearly can't
I dunno, their English sounds fine to me on both songs. Unusual accents, yes, but fine. Glad to find another fan of “Dragon Cries”!
Gidday JR, one of the many things I adore about B-M is that they have always continued to be BAND-MAID doing BAND -MAID things, refusing to recycle needlessly and continuously challenging themselves and us in the process, when your livelihood depends on your musical popularity that's takes courage. Like a number of B-M songs this tune didn't grab me right away but as I learnt with eg Black Hole, Memorable, Influencer the more you listen to a B-M song the more you get and the same applies here to what is a gorgeous tune. Cheers 👍🍻
Well put, Bruno.
It's the same with my comments...The more you read them...The more you get out of them...and the drunker you get...wondering...why am I reading his comments over and over...yeah, I totally get it...maybe...🥃🍻
@@frankandre4385 😄👍👍🍻🍻🥃🥃😂
@@brunobryant4846 The faerieland rumor mill says that the new Band Maid song is a 1991 Incubus reject song about a friendly buxom lady. Einziger called it " Breastie " .
He cleaned it up a bit and offered it to the Maids !... possibly. 🍻
@@frankandre4385 😂🤣 glad the Maids were able to make something decent of it then otherwise he'd be as we say in Oz a complete tit 👍🍻
This song has a very late 1990s rock vibe.
Some great comments John! Your outlook on music fits the vibe of this song so well too, feeling the joy and entertaining. Hope to see you in Tokyo!
This song is about the friendships the band has for each other.
Exactly! An Incubus song and classic Mike sound with Band-Maid overlayed over it. I was totally expecting Brandon Boyd to sing, but then it was Saiki instead, BUT SINGING BRANDON BOYD STYLE! I was like 🤯. As a huge Incubus AND Band-Maid fan (about equally tbh) this to me feels like Band-Maid and Incubus are brother and sister sounds. They go together like glove and hand, like peanut butter and jelly, like Swiss cheese and mushrooms, like maple syrup and pancakes. They were made for each other.
Theory: Miku wrote this for Saiki. "I remember a lot of things since I met you that day, and all of the memories won’t go away" and then the bridge with "I think I'm glad I met you now" and "So, let’s face ups and downs together. Years from now I’ll still be doing this with you."
It's very sweet.
A Japanese fan mentioned that the opening line may be a little joke as Saiki has said she brings bad weather with her😂
Miku is a god at writing good lyrics.
Awesome song😊❤
Mike from Incubus wrote the music. Miku wrote the lyrics. It says it right there in the corner!😂😂😂
Actually, Mike and Kanami/B-M co-wrote the music.
Almost
@@ApexRadiusyep and you can hear both. Kanami's solo is 99 percent her.
