"Can anybody out there tell me something true? Preferably something that no one can dispute." In 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon.
It's crazy how different they are. Same words, same context, but the message is so different. Never been on any meds, but both songs speak to me. This one tho, has a bleakness that's so unique.
For some reason this is the one that resonates with me most. I first heard it lying in my boyfriend's student bedroom with the rain on the window and that kind of soft light you get from lamps at night. Since then I've started on anti-depressants and I think I get what this song means. Not that the pills don't work, but that unless you want to change they'll do nothing for you. Fucking love this whole album.
I absolutely love how the Toh Kay and Streetlight version switch up which parts are the chorus and outro lines. Also, I just noticed that this chorus sings the first line (backup in the Streetlight version) and ends with the last word of the main vocals ( 2nd line)
I think most people resonating with this song have distraught lives. Maybe the guys who disliked it aren't trying to find their way through an abyss like some of us others :)
You're relative! No. You're everything! No, you're nothing! All true depending on how you look at it. The only truth is what you see when you don't think about what you see. Or maybe not.
Laaaame :C No problem, it's one of my favourites too c: I plan on adding the rest of the album, too, since people seem to like these videos. Hopefully they're not taken down.
Out of the songs I've listened to so far from this album (admittedly only The Three Of Us and Toe to Toe) this one is by far the best. Not that the others aren't amazing: this one is just HOLYOMGROFLMAOWTFBBQ amazing.
Fuck Victory forever. I was actually surprised this album lasted as long on spotify as it did. There was an odd period where it wasn't visible from under Toh Kay's album, but could still be searched for and played.
Where has the toh kay version of this been all my life!? I didnt even know that toh kay did anything more than streetlight lullabies that are on spotify. I wonder if he has this on spotify too, oh i do really hope.
Are you high? SLM is furious with Victory and finally fulfilled their contract and quit the label. If you want to support SLM or Toh Kay, buy it from the RISC store.
the download link is also in the description; however, downloading it from piratebay or mediafire won't make the physical copies that were supposed to arrive w/ pre-order bundles come any sooner.
Yeah, I know. I'm hoping they somehow work through those issues so I can have both cds.. I'm sure it was him or any one of the band members. It looked like it was leaked on reddit & tumblr right after the announcement was made on the streetlight website.
Yes; but the things we were supposed to get in the bundle that Victory took away were the CDs. I ordered my bundle from the RISC store, and I received that bundle; however, because of Victory, I don't have the CDs yet. But, I don't think Caroline was hinting at buying the bundle/cds from Victory, per se.
I know how you feel. :c I ordered back in october, and I'm a bit upset that I may only get one cd. To be honest; I'll be happy to just receive my bundle, if that happens. And Hell, I paid for two albums to be released on the 30th; I planned on listening to them both then. Just hoped I wouldn't have to pirate them, lol. I actually got it off reddit on the 30th; someone said they've been disabled, though. Maybe I should provide a download link in the descriptions? x:
I still don't have my bundle :/ I must admit, "The Hand that Thieves" may be the better of the two versions. I love the subtle nature of Tomas' acoustic sessions. Lyrically superior as well. This album NEEDS to see the light of day and to be put into that paying hands that demand it.
I don't think she means to buy from victory, but instead to rally together to get everything that was already preordered that Victory Records won't send.
Hahaha. They already took the album down from Spotify. Fuckers. Thank you for the post, this is my favorite song on the album. Keep on keeping on =^_^=
I got the hoodie and a poster, but RISC didn't send me either C.D I am considering it as theft an taking legal action against them,which we all should do artists make covers of other artists songs and it's okay but the artist who made his own music can't re make it on another C.D? THat's bullshit and victory is taking out it's frustration on the people while taking their money and not giving anything in return, I payed 80 bucks for two C.D;s and got neither.
Seeing as how my Streetlight Manifesto pre-order has yet to arrive (and I pre-ordered this nearly 6 months ago when it was announced), I am skeptical that I may ever receive the sup posed companion Toh Kay album. This saddens me deeply. :^( As I do pay for Spotify, I have no regrets listening to Streetlight's 'The Hands that Thieve' on there even if I don't have my hard copy. ~However. I must ask though, where may I download Toh Kay's acoustic, "The Hand That Thieves?" Thank you.
Are VR holding back items from people who have paid for them? Isn't that illegal? You people should be able to cancel your order then and get your cash back (which is better than getting the stuff and supporting vampire, i mean, victory records?)

Did they really? Where you there yo see it or something? How do I know you're not lying to me?
4 touchdowns, in one game, not the whole season, one game
LOL, did not expect this here.
Listening to this and the streetlight manifesto version are so different one of my favorite songs ever how can a man do this he is just so talented

No worries, I'm keeping a close eye on these.
Thanks. I found it again
This song has helped me save my life many times. I am extremely grateful to my fellow jersey boys. Much love. 🙏🏻✌🏻
Whoever disliked this, must have a very distraught life
they probably work for victory records
I think most people resonating with this song have distraught lives. Maybe the guys who disliked it aren't trying to find their way through an abyss like some of us others :)
nah they work at victory records
You're relative! No. You're everything! No, you're nothing!

Why why why why why why why is this not on spotify
because this album was never released.
Where has the toh kay version of this been all my life!? I didnt even know that toh kay did anything more than streetlight lullabies that are on spotify. I wonder if he has this on spotify too, oh i do really hope.
This album never got released because fuck victory records
If you like the tempo of the Streetlight version, then 1.5x speed works
All Streetlight Manifestoians....I believe we should unite to get our bundle and everything from Victory records.
deffinatly the best song on the album, on both versions!
Yes, let's do this. I've got the SM album off google play, I want this one too now.
Are you high? SLM is furious with Victory and finally fulfilled their contract and quit the label. If you want to support SLM or Toh Kay, buy it from the RISC store.

If i don't end up getting this disk with my preorder I'll be pissed. Victory records is the hand that thieves.
Yes; but the things we were supposed to get in the bundle that Victory took away were the CDs.

Brilliant
so true
This is great. I hate Victory. You are awesome for putting these amazing pieces of work on here.
Why can't I find this song on Spotify? :(
Yea a good lawyer and not against the RISC because well, they only ship out the cd's I think
I got the hoodie and a poster, but RISC didn't send me either C.D I am considering it as theft an taking legal action against them,which we all should do artists make covers of other artists songs and it's okay but the artist who made his own music can't re make it on another C.D?
