    What is going on my mates
    Today we're going to talk The Hotelier, a rock band from Worcester, Massachusetts. In 2014 they released an album called Home Like NoPlace Is There that rocked the world of music, extending far beyond the scene of its origins.
    I titled this video ' How The Hotelier Expresses Grief ' because Home Like NoPlace Is There is just that, one big ball of grief. On Home Like NoPlace Is There, The Hotelier explore topics like hopelessness, loss, depression, and much, much more to convey grief in a way that no band before them has been able to accomplish.
    Christian Holden and friends play a mix of emo, pop punk, and indie rock, extracting the best parts of those styles of discarding the rest. While Home Like NoPlace Is There is definitely a blend of emo, pop punk, and indie rock, at its core, it's just a great, sad rock album.
    Albums like this come along once in a lifetime, and I'm lucky to be able to say that I was around and conscious during the time of its release.
    Hope you have a great week.
    The Hotelier forever.
    Best,
    Nate
    And now.. it's time for the feature presentation you've been waiting for: How The Hotelier Expresses Grief

      this album IS perfect.
      but aye, I talked to Christian at a show in Ohio, no joke, Housebroken isn't about domestic abuse, it's a big allegory or metaphor for how abusive and controlling police officers are lol, but everyone misunderstands it. And apparently, in his own words, "I'm uhhh.. just not the best at writing songs I guess ahah"
      Even though, I'd disagree, he's fantastic. But yeh I don't think they play that song live anymore because of it

    • @NateTheMateForever
      @NateTheMateForever  4 года назад +4

      Jacob Leitch very interesting, Christian was on a podcast called “The E Word Podcast” a month or two ago and said something that wasn’t too far off from that, but not exact. Gave kind of a different reason for not playing it, you should really check it out. They do a REALLY in-depth track by track.
      Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, Jacob that means the world to me. I hope you have an outstanding week.

      Tbh you're probably right, he might've just given a quick answer because a few of us kind of swarmed him after the show and I could tell he wanted to retreat. But such a kind guy, and I got to smoke out the rest of the band (Christian is Sober) and they're all sweethearts, and heads up: if ya like Snowing, check out John Galm's current project, Bad Heaven Ltd., as well as if ur still reading, another more unknown podcast is "I might go to the beach" and a wonderful Galm podcast is up.
      John might be a good video topic 😉

    I’m in a longterm relationship with grief. My ex boyfriend overdosed & passed away last year - October 23rd. He is just one of the many people that I loved & lost to drug addiction. The most recent was my best friend in August. The worst was my current boyfriend’s sister October 19, 2015. Grief doesn’t make the best partner, but you get pretty tolerant to the pain as time passes by. If anyone cares to listen, I’ve got a few videos about grief & death on my channel.
    Anyway, my ex loved Hotelier. He was still making me mixed cd’s in 2014 before we split, and he included a bunch of their songs on the last one he gave me. Thank you so much for this. 💔

Seeing them live and having 300 sweaty 20 somethings crowd a small stage and scream An Introduction To The Album" the top of our lungs was pure catharsis and I cant thank The Hotelier enough for the raw emotion and healing that album provided for so many people.

    I am so glad someone decided to do an analysis on this album. it's one of the most underrated masterpieces of our generation. I am also very glad this channel exists. I feel emo and punk has been getting alotta flak from the general public so I am glad someone is doing a bang-up job showing people that art is genre-blind, and that it doesnt matter how one expresses said art, as long as it comes from somewhere real and true. I believe The Hotelier exemplifies that sentiment.
