  • 'Boiled Frogs' from the album Crisis.
    ---
    Crisis is Alexisonfire's third studio album, and the follow-up to Watch Out!. The album was released on August 22, 2006. The album debuted at #1 on the Canadian Album Charts, selling over 20,000 copies in its first week. Crisis was certified Platinum in Canada in May 2007. It was also the first Alexisonfire album to feature a title track and first album featuring drummer Jordan Hastings.
    ---
    Hailing from St. Catharines, Alexisonfire rose up out of the Southern Ontario underground in late 2001, to become one of the most successful indie bands in Canada. The band’s success also reached far beyond Canada’s borders. AOF released four hugely successful studio albums, Alexisonfire (2002), Watch Out (2004), Crisis (2006), and Old Crows / Young Cardinals (2009). Crisis debuted at #1 on the Top 200 Soundscan chart (Canada), and Old Crows / Young Cardinals debuted at #2, and charted at #9 on the US Billboard Independent Album chart. Watch Out helped earn the band New Group of the Year at the 2004 JUNO Awards. Their first 3 albums achieved Platinum certification in Canada while Old Crows / Young Cardinals reached Gold certification. The band also topped charts and graced several notable music magazine covers internationally (Kerrang, Blunt, Big Cheese, Canadian Musician, Exclaim! ). AOF’s sold-out 10th Year Anniversary Farewell tour in December 2012 touched down on four continents in 24 days, illustrating how meaningful the band still is to their legion of fans around the world.

    My brother and I are very nerdy when it comes to music videos and film in general... and I can confidently say that "Boiled Frogs" and "This Could Be Anywhere" are some of the best music videos ever. The ideas behind them and the way they were executed are just phenomenal. This shit stands the test of time. Truly the only band ever.

    Trying to work out the video
    George - trapped in a dead end job, eventually finds a way out but then ends up back at work
    Wade- trapped in a prison of his own design and the moment he’s about to free himself he stays there
    Chris - lost at sea and trying to move closer to the light, but then finds himself moving further and further away
    Dallas - tries to work out a problem but eventually does, finds the gold watch
    Jordan - also feels traps then eventually pulls apart his floor then pulls himself out of his own hell.

    This is probably a dumb question.... But is it "Alex is on fire" or "Alexis on fire"?

    • @foodmarketingtv
      @foodmarketingtv 8 років тому +3

      If I recall the time I asked this same question, I believe it is "Alexis on fire". The lead singer is Dallas Green and he started City and Colour - absolutely amazing material, albeit a start contrast in genre. Shows how versatile he is as a musician.

    George:] A man sits at his desk
    One year from retirement,
    And he's up for review
    Not quite sure what to do.
    Each passing year
    The workload grows.
    [Dallas:] I'm always wishing, I'm always wishing too late
    For things to go my way
    It always ends up the same
    (Count your blessings)
    I must be missing, I must be missing the point
    Your signal fades away and all I'm left with is noise
    (Count your blessings on one hand)
    So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight.
    There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life
    [George:] Poor little tin man, still swinging his axe,
    Even though his joints are clogged with rust.
    [Wade:] My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away.
    Safe in monotony, (so safe), day after day
    (Count your blessings)
    My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away.
    Cold wind blows off the lake, and I know for sure that it's too late
    (Count your blessings on one hand)
    [Dallas:] So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
    There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life.
    Can't help but feel betrayed, punch the clock every single day
    There's no loyalty and no remorse.
    Youth sold for a pension cheque
    And it makes him fucking sick
    He's heating up, he can't say no
    (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)
    So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight,
    There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life.
    (So wait up)
    So wait up I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
    Between the light and shallow waves is where I'm going to die
    Wait up for me
    Wait up for me
    Wait up for me
