TWY is one of those bands that never fails to give me goosebumps. I wish the sincerest happiness upon all who listen, and each of the musicians that make this music happen.
I remember when I first heard of TWY. I was a high school kid, scared of other students and his own two feet. My future seemed unclear and hazy, as I was known for not being the best student. One day on a late night video binge, I saw this song called "Local Man Ruins Everything". I clicked the link, and felt something real. The passion, love, and anger from.the lead singer got me invested in the band. So much so I quoted Suburbia as my senior quote. Now as a 20 year old college kid, I still listen to them, and look forward to new albums (Sister Cities already ordered). I have yet to see them live or meet them, but I hope I do so I can tell them how much they mean to me.
Was the same to me with 'Came Out Swinging', and it spoke to me on a whole different level. Since then, their music was a reason not to give up for me. There's never more than 2 or 3 days of my life not listening to their music. Three years of being an alcoholic and two years of being homeless later, I finally got to see them live. It was such a relatable experience in a small German venue, picking up a vinyl from their merch table and smoking a cig outside with Trash Boat. Now, a year later, my deluxe copy of Sister Cities is preordered and gives me a reason to carry on throughout this month. Pyramids of Salt came right in time to show me they still relate to me on a different level.
For Andy, missing you brother. To me, this will always be the song that connects me to you. I can still hear you yelling it in the kitchen. Miss you buddy, rest well ❤️🩹
We wiped out all the Buffalo Around the turn of the last century, And so it's factories and sawgrass, Wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me. The Midwest feels like a hollow place That we filled with love and industry. And we're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits, Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy. Well I wanted to see just a little bit of everything. Let me be. Two blackbirds on a highway sign Are laughing at me at four in the morning. They played the war drum out of time So I'm not sure where I've been marching. I wanna be strong, but it's not easy anymore. I'm hoping I'm wrong. It's sixteen hours straight to home From the heart of North Missouri, And so I searched through my great-grandpop's memoirs For the devil in my bloodstream. Depression grabbed his throat And choked the life out of him slowly. I've got the same blood coursing through my veins And it'll come for me eventually. I bet I'd be a fucking coward. I bet I'd never have the guts for war, 'Cause I can't spend another month away from here. These frantic rest stop phone calls don't get answered anymore. But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home. So let me know. Two blackbirds on a highway sign Are laughing at me at four in the morning. They played the war drum out of time So I'm not sure where I've been marching. I wanna be strong, but it's not easy anymore. I'm hoping I'm wrong. I'm hoping I'm wrong. I know how it feels to be At war with a world That never loved me.

The Wonder Years are one of the best live experiences you could be apart of.

I loved hearing this always find something to hold on to. Gotta say this is a pretty solid band to cling to
Seeing them again on Tuesday, the record helped me through the year and I can't wait to hear those bangers live!
Are you hyped for The Hum Goes On Forever?

This is the only man I know who can sing a song for a 10,000th time like he's just hearing it for the first.
Matts voice sounds really good
Every time I listen to this song it makes me feel like I never want it to end
I keep coming back here, this version of this song is just so good. Laura's voice fits so well and the strings add so much depth.
I love this band, and especially this song. This version gave me actual goosebumps, and watery eyes. God damn.
Wish they would do a live cd/DVD combo with this, love it so much
On their FB page is the full video of this show
The sheer beauty of this song ❣️
I'm still crying to this song. I haven't stopped
since TGG came out. Feels good man.
Dude! I'm pretty sure that music doesn't get much better than this. Let's support TWY so they keep making great music for generations to come
oh man this chokes me up. I think I saw Josh Martin crying a little bit
Such an emotional song
Oh the things I would do to see them live😩
Try your hardest to, one of the best times I’ve ever had
rad as all sh*t
We wiped out all the Buffalo
Around the turn of the last century,
And so it's factories and sawgrass,
Wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me.
The Midwest feels like a hollow place
That we filled with love and industry.
And we're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits,
Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy.
Well I wanted to see just a little bit of everything.
Let me be.
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Are laughing at me at four in the morning.
They played the war drum out of time
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
I wanna be strong, but it's not easy anymore.
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
It's sixteen hours straight to home
From the heart of North Missouri,
And so I searched through my great-grandpop's memoirs
For the devil in my bloodstream.
Depression grabbed his throat
And choked the life out of him slowly.
I've got the same blood coursing through my veins
And it'll come for me eventually.
I bet I'd be a fucking coward.
I bet I'd never have the guts for war,
'Cause I can't spend another month away from here.
These frantic rest stop phone calls don't get answered anymore.
But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home.
So let me know.
Two blackbirds on a highway sign

I wanna be strong, but it's not easy anymore.
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
I know how it feels to be
At war with a world
That never loved me.
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Are laughing at me at four in the morning
They played the war drum out of time
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
I wanna be strong.
I wanna be strong, but it's not easy anymore.
And for 4 minutes and 15 seconds, everything was well...
is the sheet music for this song anywhere I’d love to play this🤞
How do I get it on UA-cam Music
:((((((
