This band is so amazing! Still here in 2023
I'm glad the drummer stayed.
He has such a unique sound
I still think the thing that gives this record such insane energy is damn near entirely due to his playing. Love it.
I’m 34 and have a terminal illness and am playing a song from this album at my funeral and hope my Daughter appreciates their whole career as I raised her on our “Christian” music and this fit right in… I saw them live in San Francisco when I was 15 with Blindside headlining and if ANYONE has any pics or vids from then it’d make my days! This album was magic. So was their subsequent ones….
It was at The Pound in San Francisco September 17th 2004 !
Dont have any pics but praying for you in 2024. May the Lord bless you and have a healing hand over you and your family.
"God became the glass, and all things left were emptiness."
Are you still hanging in man? I hope so.
Honestly, this is the best band EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER - I cannot describe the extent to which this band impresses me
After about 15 years, and 20 something shows, and all the music...i just want to thank you guys again for the greatest gift strangers could give, and for helping countless folks get through the good times and the bad. I told aaron in philly in 2009 at first unitarian, that whatever may happen in our lives, know that the music saved at least one person. Here i am in 2021 married, expecting, and still listening-to the music and to the lord. Thank you and god bless
-the guy from starland
They saved me, as well, that makes 2. I feel like I owe them so much more than I know or am able to give.
Seeing them tomorrow in Miami, and for their final show in Philly in August. God bless mewithoutYou and may their music live on well beyond us today.
@@claudiatoddwebb nice, ill be at the last show as well, super excited for it
Silencer. Got me through some rough shit, I’m sure I’m not alone.
@@davidcmahone Carousels for me.
This makes me so happy and so sad!!! What should I be more sorry for?
Being sad
This era of Mewithoutyou was one of the Big elements that INSPIRED me want to pursue a life of music . Congrats all and thanks for the years of amazing art and music
I just want to say I love EVERY MF HERE who is listening to this. I don't believe in GOD, but I believe in the feeling behind this music and I'm sickened to see less than 1k likes on something that moulded me on such a raw, emotional level growing up. I'm 34 and this shit still SLAPS and it's a go-to 🖤
This live mix has such a different feel from the album and I love it! Listening to this, I feel like I’m 20 again.
2017 feels so far away! 😭 Oh the nostalgia.
Can’t wait to watch this fully!! ❤️
If you think 2017 feels far... Imagine seeing them right after this record was released at cornerstone festival like 2004 I think 😭😭😭
God I’m so mad at myself for missing this tour. This album meant so much to me. One of the first albums I bought as a kid. It opened my eyes to what music could be. I’m glad I at least got to see mwY on the Pale Horse album cycle. You will be so dearly missed, but your rest is so well deserved, with an undying legacy to look back on & listen to.
If we ever merge into oneness I want to sit next to Aaron. inshaAllah
40:25
The cure for pain is in the pain,
So it's there that you'll find me.
Until again I forget,
And again he reminds me,
Hear my voice in your head,
And think of me kindly.
Let me be, let me be.
Lowered down like a casket
And buried just below her chest.
Whatever I was searching for,
It was never you, she says.
The record ended long ago,
We go on dancing nonetheless.
I opened like a locket,
If you're ever cold, I wrote,
There's warmth inside me.
I'm the pocket of an old winter coat.
But where she used to say I need you.
Now... I don't.
You'd only make the softest sound,
Like sugar pouring into tea.
Darling let your Self pour down
And dissolve into the Love
Who revealed himself there quietly to me..
I only listened to rap music and hip hop and my first gf gave me a mix cd that had MwY,Blindside, and others… I went to a Concert headlined by mewithoutYou AND Blindside in San Francisco and I wish I could thank her each and every day for the gift she gave me!!!! Live/Good music is the BEST and this album plus all subsequent are LEGENDARY!!!
Btw…that tour was 2006…I’m 34 now…lol
“I’m not the boy I once was…but I’m not the Man I’ll be!”
Do you have pictures from it? Someone else who has a terminal illness was asking for pics from that show here in the comments.
favorite band and it's not even close
this is a serve, these songs do. not. get old, I will never stop talking about it 🫡
One of the best records of all time.
This audio was live! It sounds so amazing.
This is the album that honestly I come back to every other week. I could say so much about it, but it's all just leaves of grass.
man this album was released just before i was born but this band and basically everything about it is so so fascinating
Incredible show, your music means so much to me. Wish I could be there!
I was there in 2002...best show of my life
You mean the world to lil old me - thanks for everything you did - without your songs at night in the military it would have been much much harder - tyty
I've had a very difficult life. Growing up, i realized things that happened to me wasn't right.. and never was my fault. But as an adult, the wrong, some my fault, some not... I've come to accept these wrongs. I have to in order to move on... got to keep moving on. This album has been my go to when i find my self in that all too "familiar ill".
Got to keep moving forward. Thank you God, for another day of moving forward.
Thank you mewithoutYou. Thank you for the songs, the shows, the fellowship, and the passion. Thank you for giving people a soundtrack to grow by. I know I am not alone in saying thanks for being there. God Bless
When I first heard this album my mind was blown. I couldn’t take my eyes off you guys live
why am I crying
It’s unreal how good this was!
Y'all gave it your all on this tour, it was beautiful. I was blessed to be at the Indy show. 💕
What a lovely surprise ♥️
It's amazing how their music evolution made this album revisit have a much more mature vibe to it. It's such an amazing feeling from this album
One of my all time favorite albums of ALL TIME!!!!
Thanks for making this free!
If the word was ever need to be used it’s for this album which made me fall deeply in love with this band.
The word is “Kino” and no other word should be used.
Saw them at Cornerstone Music festival summer of 2002. My favorite performers of the entire festival!
Amazing
HOLY SHIT!!! Yes!!!!!! Love you guys so much!!!
36:40
Don't waste your lips on words I've heard before
Kiss my tired head.
And each letter written wastes your hand, young man
Come and lead me to your bed
You gave me hope that I'd not lost her
And then thought it rather strange to see me smile-
As I don't do too much smiling these days.
She put on happiness like a loose dress
Over pain I'll never know
"So the peace you had, " she said,
"I must confess, I'm glad to see it go."
We're two white roses lying frozen just outside his door
I've made you so happy and so sad,
But which should I be more sorry for?
Come kiss my face goodbye,
That space below my eye and above my cheek
Cause I'm faint and fading fast, I see a darkness
And I shall be released.
I'll pass like a fever from this body,
And softly slip into his hands
I tried to love you and I failed,
But I have another plan.
How long, My Lord, how long to sing this song?
And my Lord, how much more of this pretending to be strong?
When she stands before your throne
Dressed in beauty not her own
All soft and small, you'll hear her call,
"You brought me here, now take me home."
Thank you thank you thank you for posting this. I love it.
I love this band. Thank you for this!
yea!!!!! thank you!
I've been listening to this album on repeat for the last several days. I love you guys!
I always wished you guys would play more of these songs at your earlier shows so this tour made me really happy ❤️
Thank you for everything you have created for us 💕
Thanks for everything, you guys. Can't wait to catch you next year!!
Never actually watched anything from this and I LOVE that he brough the zilbel back out. Idk why its always such a cool/fun thing for me, but I feel like most times I see bands revisit old work where the drummer used one its just not there and its such a specific sound, and it's always missed for me when it's not there. The opening notes for the album on drums have been cemented in my brain since before I even hit puberty. Seeing that dang that on it's own cymbal stand rocks.
YEAH !!! welcome back!!
From the moment my church buddy popped this album in his cd player I was completely mesmerized and inspired INSTANTLY by the track that started playing (bullet to binary). Since that day I've seen them live 6 times in 3 different states. Unfortunately when I eventually became an Atheist it was difficult at first to listen to them just bc how silly the God concept is to me now. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to take them seriously. Of course I was nieve to think that because no matter what the lyrical content may reference the music is a forever time stamp of my youth. Thank you guys for always being so kind and giving it your all at every show.
The God concept can be anything you want it to be. My God concept is a higher power. Whether that is some cosmic energy or just the idea that something out there is bigger than me and that I should always strive to learn more about the questions we all have. What am I? Who am I? Where am I? Why am I? How am I? We aren't just some NPC in the world. Something happened on a cosmic scale for us to even have this conversation. Do not let other's loose morals and self-righteousness deter you from the ultimate goal. To understand the nature of our sgared reality and to find out who you are. Be well and may blessings come to you and your loved ones
Thanks for putting this out dudes. I was at the south Florida show. Love watching a pro shot of this. Mix sounds awesome.
Well done!
your music is so great, youre still my absolut favourite band with this kind of extra thats hard to find. thank you for all the years of hard work and making your extraordinary kind of music! im very sad that your ending tour is not in europe. me and a few other people here would travel miles to hear you!
Greetings and blessings from germany
OMG I just realized that there is only 1.7k subscribers to mwY's UA-cam! What! Just FYI my first time listening to mwY was at a Family Christian store and buying [A--->B] CD after hearing the first song. Been here from the beginning all 18 years or so when I first heard it.
Love you guys! uswithoutYou 😥
man this was so cool
I’m so grateful I got to make it to one of these shows from this tour. I’m originally from PA, and moved out Missouri for 2 years when they announced this tour. I made it to a show in St Louis, I’m upset the energy of the crowd wasn’t the same (seemed like most of the crowd came for circa survive) I was the only one there singing and dancing throughout their entire set. (Maybe some others but I didn’t notice!) I feel a little selfish for not shoving myself to the front to be visible to them someone was having the time of their lives!
So for the band, if you ever read this and remember the St. Louis show of this tour, you put on an amazing performance, and I couldn’t be more thankful for your years of music and performing.
Blessings to everyone ♥️ what an incredible journey.
Aww thank you guys.
I read your username as "Allah Allah Allah."
@@dogsareawesome9554 I love that
Oh I so wish I were there. I've been listening to you guys since 2003 or so, I was in my teens, about 12-13 when I discovered you. Managed to get the vinyl record before it disappears from the face of the Earth. and I've actually booked next Saturday to have a tattoo done inspired from this album. Wish you all the best with your lives !
At 28:42 I love this
Save my skin, I need a medic
Hold me down, I'm only sewn down.
Save my teeth, show me you meant it
Catch my death, I'm only sewn together.
My eyelids are heavy, and the night's wearing on
Your story's familiar, and your innocence is gone
We'd burn like the morning then break like your heart
Fall in love without warning just to fall back apart
All fevered and blistered, with nothing at stake
I feel the warmth of her whisper, and the cold of my mistakes
Her soul in the balance, my heart in her hands
I made her a widow, she made me a man.
How are you gonna just drop this on me at midnight?! Guess I'm calling off tomorrow. 😅
I meant to say... THANK YOU.
This album is amazing. Some of their best lyrics too in my opinion.
Epic
Saw this tour in Austin
32:50
You might sleep, but you'll never dream
Onward! Progress! Or so it seems.
You might laugh, but you'll never smile.
Come on in and waste away awhile.
When dreams of rings of flowers fade and blur
Giving way to that familiar ill
Come over and part your soft white curtains
Where I'm waiting for you still
If you'd unlatch the window,
If you'd let me lay there on your floor
If you'd give me another chance,
If you'd forget the pain I caused before
No use in saying how I'm sorry
So I'm trying not to speak
I'll sing in silence, lay beside you
With my face there on your cheek
My stomach swears there's comfort there
In the warmth of the blankets on your bed
My stomach's always been a liar-
I'll believe it's lies again.
I wish there was a high quality live version of messes of men online. That is lyrically the best song I have ever heard. You could remove the song and turn it to a poem and it would be a classic. And the delivery is top notch too.
Gonna have to keep an eye on their tour, and I'll make sure to show up if they come within 100 miles.
Just noticed the longer I See A Darkness part in Silencer! BPB is great.
come back to idaho please
I've known this album since I was like a freshman in high school and it was new and still can't remember some of the songs titles, but the track starting at 25: 50 is it think then they start to REALLY get the fuck into it. Straight in the middle lol.
how he kept that mic without Chino-taping it is beyond me
I'm going to be both heartbroken and in a thrall at the florida show.
Just saw them in Santa Fe. It was magical. I'm sad to see them go.
ugh i hate thinking about the fact that they'll never play another show 💔
You are All exactly where at least ¥π I needed you to be=€
Why no screaming on Silencer?
Noice
La Dispute before La Dispute.
Yeah, La Dispute REALLY stole their sound! I refuse to listen to them because of it. If Aaron/mwY sounds like another band before them, I’m not aware of it. La Dispute is a carbon copy, paint by the numbers version of mewithoutYou.
@@FaithFallRepentGraceRepeat I think that's a little extreme, I still love LD myself! It's just the lyrical themes are so similar they both even have multiple sayings of "Darling!" in a handful of their songs!
@@woobiehastelly Go back & listen to La Dispute’s Vancouver from 2006 and tell me it doesn’t sound exactly like A->B Life & the ‘I Never Said That I Was Brave’ Ep.
where greg
He was absent from the band in 2017
this is my gfs UA-cam I love infesting it with mewithoutYou content
Horrible guitar tone
