    Probably the most underrated and underappreciated band in existence if you ask me. Their latest album "Million Masks Of God" is my favorite album by anyone period. Definitely reccomend diving into more when you find the time

      Have you explored Nightwish? Great songs for them are romanticide, while your lips are still red, Ghost Love Score , sleeping sun, and The Islander (Truly so many amazing songs but these are my favorites) Or really got into Rammstein, especially with their music videos. Best songs for UA-cam I’d say Mein Hertz Brent acoustic, Zeit, Seeman, Ohne Dich.

      MO is pure gold. Seen them a few times in concert and saw Andy Hull on his solo tour. One of the best bands around and 100% underrated. They should be blown up, but I kinda like that they aren't since we get to see them at smaller venues, which is the best experience.

      It was the album that turned me into a major Manchester Orchestra fan. That was when producer Catherine Marks worked with them, and their sound went from really good, to amazing.

    This song is off their 5th album A Black Mile to The Surface. The whole album is gold (pun intended for MO fans) and I highly recommend you checkout the album as well as their earlier works as each album is different.
    They aren't a religious band, but carry over their experiences and upbringings into their music. Manchester Orchestra I feel like is one of the "best kept secrets" in indie rock bands for the last 18+ years
    I remember reading somewhere the lead singer, Andy Hull, wrote the song from different points of view.
    As a prayer to god, god talking to him, god talking to his daughter, and then a prayer for his daughter.
    The song has this weight that just bookends the album so well

    Andy Hall regarding today’s song: “The last track is called ‘The Silence.’ This song is one of the songs I wrote - popped out of bed at one in the morning - it felt like I kinda had to get this thing down, and really, it’s a prayer to God. It’s God talking to me, God talking to my daughter, and then ultimately at the end, the finale is me praying over my daughter.“

There are also parts about the frontman being a dad, which is what that last repeating verse was about. Bullying, mass shootings, it’s a crazy album and the music videos are must watch. They did a whole live performance front to back as well in an old church.

    So this song is actually about a man talking to god and talking to his adopted daughter. The adopted daughter is the daughter of the man's brother who struggled with alcoholism (along with their father, previously noted in other songs on this album). The brother ended up killing his wife while she was pregnant, the little girl survived and this culminates in the man explaining her nature and why she feels the way she does. The line "Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry" I think speaks to so many fathers watching their children struggle with sorrow and angst. This whole album is a concept and tells a very dark story. Much like many of their albums and side projects. See: Right Away Great Captain! Another band that the lead singer has meticulously worked on and crafted a beautiful story around.

    This is from the band itself what the song means. "The last track is called “The Silence.” This song is one of the songs I wrote - popped out of bed at one in the morning - it felt like I kinda had to get this thing down, and really, it’s a prayer to God. It’s God talking to me, God talking to my daughter, and then ultimately at the end, the finale is me praying over my daughter.
    That song was there, but without that last minute and a half, two minutes of the song, it doesn’t hold the same weight as it would. Catherine just continued to kind of say, “I don’t feel it yet.” She couldn’t ever give us specifics about what “it” was, but she was just basically like, “I’m not jumping up and down yet,” which was so wildly frustrating, but she forced us to just keep going and I’m so happy she did, because we ended up getting this crazy outro that then led to this ability for me to have space where I could write this kind of last, final prayer/poem for my daughter to close out the record, and it was sort of this perfect circle to begin the record and end the record with this conversation. It was really great. By the end, by the time it hits you - hopefully it does what we were intending, which was, ya know, it knocks you, knocks your face off."

    The lead singer’s father and grandfather were pastors, but the band is not a religious band. There is another with a kind of similar theme about dying and the video is amazing.

    I had NOT considered your slant. I'd always made the song about a love.
    And I'm a fkn atheist.
    ;)
    Your version fits WAY better.

    I feel like he’s looking in a mirror. Like you said, reflecting on life. At one point it feels like they break the mirror. Realizing that his life doesn’t have to be be his kids life.

    I am a massive fan of this track and I found it interesting that you took the religious route… I view this from a love relationship where someone loves the person from the heart there singing about… I can see the religious connection but there is also the love interpretation…
