    How can something so calming be made from something so painful? It's like screaming under water.

    I can only listen to this song sometimes. It’s so painful and beautiful, it takes my breath away.

    The acoustic guitar solo at 2:20 is just amazing. The melody and tightness between the two are phenomenal. Makes me wish I'd picked up a guitar instead of the drums.

    • @slothworks7032

      It's not talent. It's determination and practice.

    • @lfcfan1789
      @lfcfan1789 3 роки тому +2

      @@slothworks7032 well...in a sense yes. But I'm talking about talent in relation to natural aptitude. You can practice something and be determined to get good or even great at anything that doesn't mean you will be. For example if I'm a person who is tone deaf and simply not able to sing in tune, with practice and determination i may be able to get better. But some people are naturally talented at certain things and can choose to hone it or not. Its something in the brain. Ever see the movie Good Will Hunting?

    The lights were low enough you guessed
    You swapped your conscience with your father's medication
    Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville
    And on the way wrote out a self made declaration
    And when you got to Pleasant Hill
    You forced the traffic to erase your family demons
    And made a pact with you and god
    If you don't move I swear to you I'm gonna make ya
    Do you need me?
    Do you need me?
    Do you need me?
    Do you need me?
    When the first officer arrived
    It happened to be the high school bully of your brother
    When you finally recognised
    You felt some guilt that you had even let him touch you
    "Can you hear me, what's your name?"
    You could not speak just laid amazed at all the damage
    As the high school's letting out
    All the kids are saying the same thing that they used to
    It's an alien
    It's an alien
    It's an alien
    It's an alien
    The lights are low enough you guessed
    Hospital food, there's never enough medication
    The doctor asked about your ears
    You said your mom said you were made from a revelation
    The revelation never scares
    Your fear came from your drunken dad and a pair of scissors
    "Were you just finally letting go?"
    "Did you mean to take out all those people with you?"
    Didn't mean to
    Didn't mean to
    Didn't mean to
    Didn't mean to
    Oh I didn't mean to
    Oh I didn't mean to
    Oh I didn't mean to
    Oh I didn't mean to
    Time is here to take your last amendments and believe them on your own
    Time is here to take you by the hand, and leave you there alone
    Time has come to take the last commandment and to carve it into stone
    Time has come to take you by the hand, and leave you here alone

      I just stumbled upon these guy a few months ago and found myself buying all of their songs.
      Their songs lyrics plus the vocals plus the atmospheric music has been pulling memories out of me , mostly painful, but good I think.
      I see they resonate with certain people in a big way.
      It's strange, my normal music taste falls into melodic death metal believe it or not
      Great band these guys are.

    This song is beautiful. It reminds us how beauty can surround us, give meaning to what we live and experience, and the music is just perfect. This is so overwhelming. I'm stunned from this almost unbearable beauty.
