Your reactions to this song and video have blown our minds. There is no better feeling than when music connects to strangers and we can share it together. We love you all. Stay tuned - MO
So interesting/funny you posted this so recently. I have to mentally prepare myself to listen to this song. I love it deeply, but at times I literally have to avoid it. Today, for some reason, I landed on it.
I know this is lame as fuck but in 08 when I played shake it out for people I knew it was like they weren't hearing the same song I was. I connected to the music though it was a real f uped time for me. If it were possible to be more fucked up in life I dont know how let's just say. But I think what I'm trying to say is your music hits you like a sledge hammer at certain times and that's the power of it. Once it hits you that's it your a lifer. Please keep it up guys cause you help alot of people. Whether you know it or not. Its therapy for many of us. This is coming from a person that lost everything and now 10 years later still love you guys and kicken ass in life.
I'm Robert God made me schizophrenic. My dad died when I was 19 n I started drugs n done a lot I died three different times. I lived destruction lost everything. I finally quit at 35 and I lost my mind seeing n hearing the voice's was so much I would cry out to God. I spent 2 yrs in a mental hospital where I found God I prayed not for myself but for him I said to him I cant imagine what you go through n now the voices stopped. I had to love myself before he'd help me. This song helps it slows everything down. Thank you for this song
When it comes the YAH/"God", the Holy Scriptures is All we have. He came as a Hebrew. This is the first key: 🗝 Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts. Second Key: 🗝 Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteranomy. In Power & Shalom/Peace I boldly approach 20 years.
I have terminal metastatic breast cancer, I'm fighting like a demon though. This song really resonates with me. I see the 'Silence' as the cancer. But I'm not accepting my prognosis. I've already lived 3 years past what my oncologist expected, I plan to stay here a lot longer! The silence can be broken. 💗💗💗💗🤞 Thank you for the strength and complexity of this song. You guys rock!!! Love and light. Xxxxx Edit: Since writing my thanks to Manchester Orchestra for this incredible song, I've received the most beautiful messages of support from truly beautiful people. Thank you so much for taking the time to lift my spirits and making me smile on a daily basis. There are truly beautiful people in the world, thank you for helping this Phoenix rise. 🔥🙏💕 Love and light to you all. X 27/1/2022….5 1/2 years on and still fighting. 🙏🏻 16/8/2024….8 years, I’m so blessed. 🫶🏻✨
Thank you everyone. 💗 Your messages are deeply appreciated. X My heart and soul goes out to others that are fighting too. Stay positive, beat the silence. 🙏💫💫💫 For some reason I'm not able to reply to the messages on here anymore but its now August 2020 and I've just passed the 4 years since my diagnosis. 🥰👍 Thank you to everyone for the recent messages, you all rock! Still my favourite song and always will be. 🌈❤
@Marcus Stromberger. Thank you. You're doing so well, I'm sending you so much positivity and healing vibes. Sometimes we just beat the odds! I truly believe it's positivity and faith in ourselves that helps us. Thinking of you my friend. 😊💗
The first time I heard this song I was on a trip with friends at the beach. It was the night before we all left, everyone was in bed for the night I was taking stuff to my truck because I wanted to get an early start in the morning. This song was playing over a speaker from somewhere next door. Didn't see anyone. Didn't hear anyone. Just me, alone in the dark, with this song. I sat down and listened and it's a moment I will never forget. One of the eeriest and wonderful moments I've ever had.
That would be an awesome experience. It's such an amazing song but to hear it in that situation, alone and being there just at the right time with just the music. Lucky bugger.
This will stay with you forever. Moments like this are so powerful. 1991 I take a roadtrip to cali with the top off my jeep. As I break the top of the hill, first time I am listening to The Cure's Mixed Up album the opening chords of Hot Hot Hot hit. 2024 all I have to hear is the start and I go back. Now anytime in your life when you hear a couple of chords its going to take you back to that place. These moments.....you are a luck one!!!!!
I was in my college dorm room after buying Bjork’s Vespertine. I had 3 roomates so it was rarely quiet in my room. I laid on my bed and put it on for the first time. There were these bugs outside the window. I don’t know if they were some sort of mosquito or gnats, but there were so many of them. They were floating and swirling around each other very slowly and methodically like no other bug I had seen. The beginning of It’s Not Up To You came on and they truly seemed to be dancing to the music, like they were in a trance. I was sleepy and fading into a nap just watching these beautiful bugs fly around to that delicate music box sound and I knew right then I would never forget that moment. It still sticks with me to this day.
I watched my wife take her last breath as the life left her on January 1 of this year. It was a 21 day battle with cancer she couldn't win. I've listened to this song at least a hundred times since that moment. I've found my own meaning and comfort in it. Thank you.
We wanted to create a really special live performance for our fans, seeing as we haven’t been able to be together in quite awhile. So we returned to the place where we recorded A Black Mile To The Surface and played the album in its entirety. We are so excited to share this film, for free, to everybody. This album and your reception to it has exceeded our expectations, and we felt this the best way to thank you all for supporting our music. This feels like the perfect way to close the Black Mile chapter, and I’m excited to say that this is more than just a concert. It’s also the beginning. Manchester Orchestra RUclips. 2/12/21. 8pm est.
I just discovered you guys a few months ago and I must say you absolutely rock! Keep it up, the world needs awesome music, especially during these times! Thank you Manchester Orchestra
I'm so often coming back to this song that I can say it is now a classic for me. I love the energy and the feel you make into your music. I hope to see you one day in France guys. Keep up your amazing work. And it goes perfectly with the snow that it is coming down today. Take care of you guys
I swear when I say this... it is the BEST song ever heard in my opinion. It opens a fucking gateway to my soul, and can easily send a man off the rails into.a beautiful depression (if there is such a thing). It resurfaces dormant memories for me and I had to have a week off work as I went fucking bonkers and couldnt put the bottle down and had this on repeat. This is a magical song that can break a man down but build him up into a stronger person. I just have to say this from my experiences, ex military, PTSD from war... this song is the BEST SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD! end of story!
Well, more like 7 minutes from the "Are we good to go?" (1:07) to "Goodnight yall" (8:22). But still, the effects linger on. I've played this, and then found myself humming or whistling the tune many hours later!
I never realized how long this song was until I read your comment!! I love Tool but their 8 minute + songs seem to last forever. Maybe because this song is from the heart and has a deeper meaning than angst.
To the person reading this, even though we don't know each other and may never meet, I want to wish you all the best in life. Remember to love yourself and never stop doing so. You're a beautiful human being, and the world wouldn't be the samne without you. You mean so much to so many people, Enjoy your journey and keep your head up!
Сегодня у меня появились самые удивительно нежные и трогательные воспоминания под эту песню ❤ Чувствую себя очень счастливой и хочется поделиться с миром этим ❤
I lost my 24yr old youngest son 10 weeks ago, and my passion for life died with him I'm now simply exsisting. This song found me at my worst darkest, saddest day of my life. I listen to it everyday and weep and his voice and its beat, resonates in a messed up way. Somehow It console and comforts me. It makes me wanna scream and and at the sane tme curl up in bed and sleep with the hope of being waken up by him and realising it was just a bad dream. Haven't had a decent nite of sleep since woken up to the news of this tragedy. Missing him so much, Zakk was such a humble amazing loving son. I was his legend, and he was mine. FLY HIGH BOY! THank you MO for such a masterpiece. Can't stop listening to it. xoxo
My heart aches for you!!! 💔😭 My worse nightmare came true 6 years 3 mos ago ! When my only son Thomas passed away. I believe I was in the bathtub 🛀 when I first Heard this song 🎵 and I Bawled my eyes out!!!! This guy is amazing! I have never been moved like that by a song. I am so very sorry for your son's passing I truly feel your pain 💔 Thomas died 4 days after his 31st birthday. I found this song this year. God bless you ❣ 🙏 ❤ 💙✌
Dedicate to my son Cody. 31, just diagnosed with an astrocytoma, brain cancer. Had his demassing surgery 60% removed. Now on chemo and radiation. Your prayers, well wishes, are so desired my global folk.
My prayers are with your son to stay fighting and keep loving the way you love. Stay strong Momabear also take care of urself your in my prayers😢❤🥹🙏🏼😊🙌🏻
Sending you & your son love & strength. How is he recovering ? Is he in a country he can access medical cannabis to help him through the chemo & radiation side effects?
@@MsRedbelly I sent him a care package with several strains. But the biggest hurdel is getting rid of that 40% they couldn't remove surgically. So damned young for such BS.
I’m in recovery from a 15 year long battle with drugs and alcohol this song helped me get sober. Now I’m building a better relationship with god and getting healthy. 15 years of my life I waisted In and out of jail totaled two cars ruined every relationship I’ve ever been in I finally woke up and wanted better for myself before I ended up dead. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, good luck Yung, despite everything on this planet that seems to be working against us, this minute spec of time that we have in this almost unfathomable history, size, time, evolution etc of our universe (still can't imagine how far away Mars is?) Our time here now is a gift only a few have, we have a duty to try and make some sense of our tiny fingerprint we have been blessed with, so that we might leave a legacy that hopefully those that come after us will draw inspiration from to live their best lives?
I call this my "tester" song....for so long, I couldn't listen to it without sobbing uncontrollably....it was part of my healing therapy...so every now and again, I come back and relisten....to check, to see....I'm still on that journey, but I no longer sob...my eyes fill with tears, but I smile...perhaps, one day, I'll come back and simply smile...thank you, Manchester Orchestra, for this beautiful gift of a song!...For you, my Angel, "Let me watch you as close as a memory" ♥
My mom just passed on the July 21st. She was my best friend!!! She loved this song and all their music!!!......I love you mom. I will look for you for the rest of my life. On a crowded street, when I catch my reflection in a window, when I sit alone in the quiet I will listen for you.....I miss you!!
My husband is terminally ill with Alzheimer's. He hardly communicates with us anymore, and doesn't react to any stimuli. Once, I was listening to this song - and on a whim - I put the headphones on his head. Suddenly his expression changed and soon, tears were streaming down his face
Omg tears are streaming down my face for him for you and all those lost in like ghosts in a body no longer working, I hear you I see you, I feel you and I am so sorry for the despair that you’re experiencing 🙌❤️🙏
Does listening to a 40 Hz tone clean up the brain in Alzheimer's patients? They found that exposure to one hour of 40-hertz tones per day, for seven days, dramatically reduced the amount of beta amyloid in the auditory cortex (which processes sound) as well as the hippocampus, a key memory site that is located near the auditory cortex.
Here I am, fighting terminal cancer. This song IS life. I do not remember how I came across it, but from moment one is became a special one for me. Not a day goes by without me listening to it, at times "on repeat". Thank you, Manchester Orchestra. You created a masterpiece....a heartbeat. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@animistde I am here to appreciate the sincere, raw and emotional masterpiece that Manchester Orchestra created. A timeless song that brings us together and takes us through hard times. To me your entry about the Medical Medium is out of context and yes, a 100% scam. If I were you, I would have delete it.
I lost my husband over a week ago - he died suddenly and unexpectedly. Tomorrow is the funeral... I am able to get up every morning since January 12 thanks to this song. It helps me to evacuate the overwhelming grief. Thank you.
I am so sorry to hear that! I wish I could give you some magical fix for your grief, but in truth there is nothing to do but feel the pain and remember the good times you had to sooth it a bit. I wish you all the best and I hope you have people around you that are there for you right now!
I’m 36, married with a 8 year old daughter and a 6 year old daughter. Have been diagnosed with ptsd from the military, major depressive disorder, anxiety. Several times I was going to take my life. Once my 8 year old was born, I’ve still struggled but have mustered the strength to be there and the best version of myself for those angels. If you’re going through something, please don’t give up.
When a song carries such immense emotional tension that it brings you close to tears and feels like there's a stone in your chest… Then that song is a masterpiece. It's absolutely incredible.
Everyone has different reactions to songs. For me, this song drives home the loss of my son. Life is proper cruel, this we have to accept. Loss or loved ones we have to mourn and remember. They say time heals, which is crap, love heals. We need love from people to help us heal. I find that love in music.
Both love wasn't enough to heal all the loss I have had and it took a lot of time a lot of time and honestly I think as people trickled out if my life is when the pain stopped but that could have been a coincidence with time. Everyone is different but the only thing that kept hope in my heart was what I thought was a bs sentiment "time heals"
Beautifully said. I’ve lived through so many losses, including my entire immediate family to tragic and untimely deaths and to me it’s that it takes making new happy memories to offset the grief and horror of the horrible ones and joy to offset the pain, but love is intrinsic to that. Ironically, it can be harder to come by when you need it most and despite where death and loss may seem to bring people together it frequently does the opposite, tears people apart and is very isolating. I felt utterly in what you said, though and that’s one reason I frequently feel survivors are the best people to know, and best people of all.
My 32 year old son Travis passed away February 10, 2024 😭😭💔💔My only child 💔😭 He was a good soul with many struggles and tried so hard to find himself and fit into this world. I love him and miss him so much 😭😭😭💔💔💔
To anyone reading this, whether if you are struggling yourself, whether if you are grieving, whether if you have lost someone or whether if you are fighting something, you are not alone. You matter in this world, you are seen, you are heard and everything you feel or go through is valid. I hope you heal and beat every/any fight you go through. Keep fighting soldier, I hope you find peace and happiness.
@@newalawMy heart aches for you I lost my brother a year ago August 13... he died by suicide. It felt unreal for quite a while. I read your words &. began crying. I'm so very sorry for your loss. It helps to find people you can talk about it with. I'm sending warm hugs.I embrace you my heart. Love 🫶🏼,& Spirit Hugs 🕊️🫂 `Be gentle,,& kind to yourself.🫶🏼🪴
I'm a 40-year-old recovering alcoholic. Tomorrow will be my 11th anniversary without a drink. My daughter was born during my first year of recovery. This song brought back so many emotions in dealing with the terror of fucking up my daughter's life or passing along my learned life behavior to her. My 60-year-old mother introduced me to this and it immediately brought me to tears.
Love from a brother. I just had a daughter and it terrifies me thinking that how I may unknowingly do the same mistakes my father did with me. I ended up hating him and he has passed and there is nothing I can do with how I feel about him.
The craziest thing about voices like his is that his heartbreak brings so much healing to other's. Your voice is healing, even when it sings of pain. True Gift.
Just lost my mother from covid19..i keep listening to this masterpiece all day and all night..it's so painfull, my heart aches, feels like i can't breath.. i love you mama..you'll always be with me..please forgive me for not being next to you these last days of your life..we'll meet again someday..rest in peace..
It's 2 am. All alone listening to this masterpiece. My brother died in a freak road accident in November of 2011 just 3 days before I was supposed to get married. All his memories are in my head and I will keep cherishing them as long as I am alive. "There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection" So close yet so far. Stay safe everyone!
That line stays with me. My 31 year old son and only child died May 21 2022. I will survive, but I'll never be the same. I'm 61 trying to live a life he would be proud of, but if God took me tomorrow I'd be OK with that. It's not just losing him, it's losing all the plans we had to do things together, all the future I hoped for gone with the end of my family name, all the calls and texts I can no longer make to share something funny. ...I don't just listen to this song, I FEEL it. I miss you Hunter and can't wait to see you again😔
My son passed 2:28 away from an overdose at my house. After they removed his body for the last time, I went to put a favorite song that we shared and this song for no reason was on RUclips when I put RUclips on. It's become a tribute to my son. I play this song several times a day. I absolutely love it and I love and miss my son
One for the ages. A timeless classic. Little girl you were cursed by my ancestry. So much to be learnt from those eight words. I close my eyes and listen. Before me I see my sisters, my mother, my grand mother. They stand alone, but never at rest.
At the ripe age of 65, I'm still impressed with how these young bands have kept music worthy of a listen. Thank you for helping me reminisce about the past.
2018 was the hardest year of my life - Our daughter Candice passed away due to complications in removing a tumour on her kidney. She was 35 and has two little one's, Rachie (4) and Abigail (20 months). She was an amazing mother, wife, freedom fighter, daughter and most importantly, friend. I can't express how much we miss her. Andy and team , this song is legend, I listen to it all the time. All i can can say is this. Let's appreciate our kids for the gift they are; they are not ours, they are entrusted to us by God. We have a huge responsibility> Thank you
My girlfriend is 35 and has cervical cancer and now she has leukemia and a failing liver from all the chemo. Very hard to watch someone you love go through something like this and you feel powerless to stop it. We have a 10 yr old daughter who idolizes her mother and it breaks my heart to see her watch her mother getting closer and closer to death. Im sorry for your loss Paul.....i truly understand what you are going through.
@@sleuth2077 Hey Sleuth, I went cold reading your message. I am so sorry you have to walk this road. It's hard, very hard and few truly understand what you are going through. One feels so helpless. I don't know you but know this, I genuinely feel your pain. Music has always been my refuge, more so the last four months. Stay strong Sleuth for your partner and that little girl.
I'm a father of two girls 9 and 5 years old, I have been their provider and protector since birth and I will remain that until death. I can not know your pain, only you know the weight of that crown. May your pain be healed and peace let in your heart.
Paul, I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your daughter. We aren't supposed to lose our children before us and it leaves an empty space filled with nothing but the hopes that in time the Lord will fill that with His love and peace. I lost my twins and I struggle to make it through each day. I have my daughter and she is the only reason I can even stay here. Trying to be a good parent when you are sick has taken all my strength but His strength and grace keep my head just above water. I understand your pain and I hold you and your wife and grandchildren in my prayers. Christ Jesus bless and be with you and your family.
As a man who has only in the last year finally healed from an agonising childhood. One of my greatest struggles is the fight to keep my children free of the trauma and agony. This song feels like an acknowledgment of the pain a parent feels in their efforts to protect their children from the darkness we can bring into their world. It brings me to tears every time.
As a parent of two and uncle to two, i just came across this song and idk why it felt so bitter sweet that it made me tear up, all I can say is, this song makes me realized whatever childhood and adolescent trauma I have, I want my kids and nephews to never be affected or see my pain, I want to shelter them from the dark side of life..I believe things happen for this very reason
As another of childhood trauma I'm so utterly touched by the comments here. The dear sweet acknowledgement of the suffering we endured. I realy feel humbled to be amongst you x
I'm in my late 40's sitting here with tears in my eyes... This song is nothing but a masterpiece... The music, the voice, the lyric, every second of this song is pure perfection.
I've contemplated suicide a lot throughout my life. I heard this song and started to think about the pain I'll transfer to my loved ones if I go. I'm still here facing my fears a day at a time. "Suicide doesn't take the pain away, it transfers it to someone else".
One day at a time my friend. You don't have to get through the rest of the decade, nor this year, not this month, not even the rest of the week, just today! Well done for making it through another day 🙂
Listening to this song is either an intense epiphany, a spiritual awakening or a mental breakdown, maybe all three at once. I'm so thankful that I can experience something so beautiful ❤️
So sorry to hear of the "pure hell" of your childhood sweetie! As with all things, good or bad, we learn, and hopefully take something away, and use it in a positive way, later in life! Hope all is well for you now!!!!
@@ballardfrogman um bc she wanted to. This song obviously hit a soft spot and reminds her of what she went thru. Have you ever listened to a song that just meant something? If not i feel sorry for you
je découvre à l'instant.. Je n'ai pas de mots si je n'ai que je trouve sublime cette musique qui me pénêtre et mes yeux se chargent de larmes, ma mémoire fait tilt et un come back dans un passé déja lointain...victime d'un accident de moto...avec 3 semaines de coma.. 4 mois d'hopital/rééducation et retour à la vie, alors parisienne !... J'arrête d'écrire mais continue d'écouter ! ❤❤❤
God works in mysterious ways, didn't think he did it thru RUclips! I discovered this song a few days ago and I can't stop crying. I'm 73 and am having a hard time coping with things I have no control over. This song is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I'm learning the guitar and as a beginner it can be difficult at times. This song has taught me to continue to work thru my obstacles and never, ever quit. God bless you, your family, the band, and the wonderful music you all make together. Early in the clip you show the keyboard player with his hands on the book of chords. Most of them are clear enough to copy down. Did you do this purposely? If so, thankyou so much for doing that. If not, then I guess God was being extra mysterious on that day. Thank you from Canada and I hope that some day you will be in the Toronto area. Seeing you live is on the top of my bucket list
May God bless you. If you haven’t listened to Manchester Orchestra’s The Valley Of Vision EP yet, I have a feeling it may resonate with you. Sending you love and light on your journey. 🤍
Seems I have been here before and gave the video a thumbs up. My past me had a good taste. Note to future me: Yes, you have been here. Twice. Or maybe even more often. Tell future-future-us to come back from time to time. We love this song. And it's timeless.
Lyrics Why do I deserve the science To feel better about you? At a loss I lost my cool I denied that I found you I tried to be a basket case I did not surprise you I'm trying to find a signal fire Let me know when I should move But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the science Anatomically proved that you don't need me Why do I desire the space? I was mourning after you I was lost and lost my shape There was nothing I could do I don't want to waste away It was all I gave to you Take me back and take my place I will rise right up for you But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the science Anatomically proved that you don't need me All the while you waste away, you're asking "Did I really need another one to take me down?" Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling Nobody's gonna tear you down now There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection There was nothing but quiet retractions And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet There's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there" That was something your father had burned in me Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity You can go anywhere but you are where you came from Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry There is nothing but darkness and agony I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking Let me watch you as close as a memory Let me hold you above all the misery Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
"The Silence" by Manchester Orchestra is a song about feelings of isolation, fear, and the search for meaning in life. The lyrics narrate the struggles of the protagonist as they grapple with their own existence and the overwhelming pressure of society. The song delves into the themes of mortality, hopelessness, and the constant battle to break free from the silence and find genuine connection with others. Overall, it is a poignant reflection on the human condition and the yearning for authenticity in a world that often feels cold and detached.
I hear the dichotomy between the protagonist as you say and the antagonist.....an identity crises that teeters on the precipice of insanity....times tide is mothering and smothering.
I don’t really know the authors official meaning of the song but I interpret it like a conversation between a mourning father and god. He is trying to grasp the pain and void he feels after loosing his daughter. I would love to read more interpretations of this beautiful and amazing song.
This is what music is about. I've on and off dealt with depression for over a decade since my teens and it's music like this that has always got me through it. Thank you so much guys.
@@indylar there is something about music. It just has this calming effect. I just hope more people can come across this masterpiece and feel like fighting a little more.
Can't believe I just discovered this band and track. This song, the singer's voice... it freakin hits like no other. Slams my soul and emotions all at once. Amazing.
This is one of the greatest bands ever, I hope you find some of their other songs and albums to be just as amazing cause they have so many other amazing tracks
Keep listening 😌 this has been my favorite band for 14 years and it has been a thrilling ride. Once you discover Andy Hull, you discover so much more than just Manchester Orchestra. He has endless side projects as well and his voice knows no bounds. His music is invaluable to me and has quite literally saved my life more than once. The thought of living without it is unimaginable to me at this point. Enjoy the ride ♡
All the hugs brother. You've got this! Remission since late '18 myself. The fight gets really hard...really hard, especially near the end... but the joy when you finish that last treatment is worth it.
Hey, Mike, be strong. You can fight it and win over cancer. But only if you believe you can and have the will to beat it. Only in the west, the word C is not to be spoken. In Asia you Co exist as they rarely do surgery and chemo is not advisable. Let me k ow if I can help, I'm not for big pharma prescribed drugs. I believe in Holistic approach. Love you bro ❤
I wrote a good friend's eulogy listening to this song a few years back after he took his own life. 15 years of active duty weighted to heavily upon his mind and he is still missed to this day. RIP Tani
@Snoozebutton I av stood on that chair in my flat with a noose around my neck the reason I'm still here is my son would of been the first to find me , if I'd been in the park at that time I would of jumped .every day sueside comes into my mind.
Wow! Wow! Wow! This song gets to my soul. I am a 62 year old black grandma that is totally in love with you guys. This song is awesome! I luv it, luv it, luv it. I sure would love to see you guys in concert. Let me know when you'll be in Texas.
Just brilliant. I’m in my mid sixties, and I’ve been music-obsessed for most of those years. And I’m genuinely obsessed with Manchester Orchestra! So well written, so tightly delivered, and Andy’s voice is one of the most compelling I’ve ever heard!
I cannot begin to tell you what this album (and this song in particular) means to me. I’m a grown woman with children... when I first heard this song, it reminded me of our own journey into parenthood. The tiny moments of seeing the baby on the ultrasound, the big moments of anxiety, the constant questioning, especially by my husband, like did they get the best parts of us or the worst? Are we doing everything right? I was heavy into listening to this album on repeat when one of my best friends, whom I was in a crib with when we were newborn babies 37 years ago, was losing her life to cancer this past summer. This song turned from reminding me of my emotions associated with my own children to experiencing immense empathy for her mother as she lost her only daughter, and I cried for entirely different reasons as I experienced it in a whole new way. I actually listened to it on the way to say goodbye to her while she was still lucid and knew she had only days left. I also think about my own dad, whom I lost 20 years ago, and how he must have felt leaving this world with his wife and children behind. One of the last things he said to me was, “Who is going to take care of you?” before he went to the hospital and never came home again. I’m sure none of the band members will ever read this, but if you do, I want you to know how much your music means to me. It hits so many raw nerves at the same time for different reasons and I am grateful it takes me to all those different spaces of reflection every time I listen to it. Thank you. ❤️
@@melissaharville81 He's a miserable shit, pay him no mind. Here's hoping they see it. If nothing else, hot damn, that's a reason to love this song. Sorry for all your loss.
I lost my dad 2 years ago and this song was the emotional release I needed. It was incredibly painful to listen to this most of the time, but I kept coming back, somehow it was important to feel through the pain and this song helped me connect to that pain. It still hurts to listen to this, but there's lightness mixed into the heaviness now, a lightness of joy in having known my dad and everything he meant to me. To those going through loss and grief, just know that you're not alone. You are loved, and while the pain never fully goes away, it transforms eventually into strength, love and appreciation xx
the strength it requires to allow ourselves to truly experience the pain that comes with an experience as final and shattering as the loss of someone so engrained in our very being, is in and of itself, a very respectable thing. i’ve felt a lifetimes worth of feelings in the past two years. so trust me, i empathize with you. this song did the same thing for me. it broke down the walls. his voice transmits the emotion with so much energy it’s palpable.
I lost my dad this last July 5th. Since then, I just feel like a pinball, bouncing off walls & barriers & places I don't belong. The worst part is that I never had one real convo with him about how I really felt, what I truly believed, things I wanted to do, what hurt me... I knew most of his story, but why do we get scared of showing what we're really made up of? I wish I could've shared that with him.
This song brings me to tears. I’m a grown ass man 34 and it’s hard to compose myself hearing this. Just amazed, makes me realize I can still feel after so much and becoming numb and cold.
Yea life can feel pointless when you hit a certain level of numbness and coldness inside. Like the anchor keeping you grounded has run off and left you to fly off into the void
Recently lost my wife. We saw MO at the Leeds festival in 2009. Loved them from the first moment I saw em. But this song has saved me, and I don't know why. It just stirs me. It's just beautiful
I'am sorry for your lost! I can't imagine how it is! Lots of love from Holland! I am greatfull for this music....and if listening to this song: know that me and my boyfriend are also listening...❤
I don't now if I can express how I feel about this song, it has every moved me so much. 23 years in a horrible abusive marriage, in all ways and extremely emotional. I listen to this now ironically in a brand new cruiser at the end of my street, sunset point and tears pour. But now they're cleansing tears, thankful tears, tears of hope and joy. I'm in so many worlds. A paradise, a hell, hope, endurance, confusion, rage, dare I live another moment.
Live life and love yourself. Life's goes on , make your story a happy one. I recently thought I'd lost it all through bad choices but amazingly it's worked out fingers crossed. Live every moment you've got. X
This song takes me far away from the agony and pain. Transported to another realm. Somewhere im seen felt heard and understood. In the midst of the suffering, awaiting the release.
Right. Society is messed up. A lot of people don't like emotional music because it makes you "weak" and these days usually the most empty and selfish music is heard the most.
Oh, 50 likes and 2 comments. See, this is what I'm saying. I'm feeling so much better this evening seeing that people saw my comment, felt it, and liked it. Much love!
My name is Christopher Jon; I'm a musician and photographer. I lost my first born daughter August 23rd 2021; her name was Sophia Grace Smaragdas; she was 5 years old. This song helped me get past the most difficult times of my life. I owe you guys more than you know!
Even through the darkest moments with our autistic beautiful daughter 14, who struggles with anxiety, and who is chronic suicidal, As a mother i find comfort in this incredible art piece , His voice is hugging my soul. There are so many times we almost lost her. As a parent you do everything. But you can't choose for another person to stay in life or not. we have no control. Life is hard, but also beautiful, we all have our struggles. Be kind. always. thank you for your music, it goes on a deeper level. Tina
Have you had her vitamin D levels checked? I think for me improving that helped my mood. The official recommended level is too low too. Sunlight may also help as it provides more than vitamin d and circadian rhythms but protects the mitochondria. We didn't evolve to spend so much time indoors. Also NAC has been shown to improve autism as autistics have higher oxidative stress in the brain (something sunlight may help with.)
No way, this could have been the story of my life. I just wondered if I had written this comment, but my name is not Tina. Be sure, you're both are not alone. I am the mother, my daughter will soon turn 17. She was hardly depressed at the age of 12/13. She suffers very quiet, but there were seldom moments, when she cried. She desperatley asked me:"Mom, what is wrong with me? Why do I feel, as if anything I am is wrong? And I can not be anybody else than me, even if I try to be a normal kid. I am mess. Everywhere I go, people hate me. I can't stand this no more...!" And I always repeated: "You're more than normal, not less. You are special, you are gifted. I ordered a little unicorn, now I got two little unicorns, you and your sister. And I love you both the same way though you're totally different. And I wouldn't have it any other way." Sometimes she is so rude to me, unfriendly and cold as ice at the north pole. And then one day she came to me and said:"I like you, mom! You are my Safe Place!" 💓 I hope you can feel the meaning of it... This will stand on my gravestone "Safeplace of two" Or I put it on my instagram-bio... ✌️
I lost my son at a year and 3 months. This song has always carried me through my downward spirals. I hope this band knows how much they truly help people going through life in all colors.
Feel your pain sister. 20 months ago same faith knocked on my door and took my youngest. Life is tough but if we're still here and this is our journey we can't waste a day. We have to live our fullest as that's what our sons would be doing if they were still here with us. They want to see us happy as we would want to see them happy if it was the other way round. ❤️ u
This was my little brother's anthem. We listened to it daily for the last few months. We spent so much time together and had been through so much with only each other for support. He took his own life 3 days ago and all I can hear is him promising me he wouldn't leave me here. I just realized I'm not ready to hear this song yet.
I‘m so sorry for you loss William! Wish you all the Love and healing your Soul and Heart needs Right now. Take your Time to grief! You and your Brother Are Never apart, his Soul will actually Never Leave you, he hears and sees everything you Go through - maybe This Song Can & will always remind you of that you actually are never alone .. Much Love from Germany
My heart breaks with you. It's ok to cry!! You have to continue on and feel it all. I want you to know you are not alone in this world. We could never make sense of life, it's meaning, the good, beauty, hurt, grief, pain, joy, love, sorrow. The definitions are endless and at the end of the day we have no other choice but to continue. I have a hard time even writing these words bc I don't know that I even believe them. But we are going through life wether it feels real or not. I just want you to know you are not alone even though your brother is gone. He's still around you, it's not forever, it's only till next time!! I'll be sending you lots of love and strength to help you during such a hard time. ❤
But if it kept him alive then...it does now. Now live out what you aspire yourself to be like he was ...how he smiled, made ppl laugh, was kindred...etc...and then your living ,he's living, and the song is living...energy never dies . It can only transfer,transfer,or best of all transform darling beloved live it all out.dont fall victim...become warrior in this moment on. Live your life ❤️
My mom died on april this year, my brother told me about this song, its exactly, or at least 90% of our history, she's in peace now. 🙏🏻 god bless you all people. Mom, love you and miss you like I never imagined.

As a man with a 5 month old daughter; the last verse of this song had me literally in tears. I pray she has all of my good and none of the curses of my ancestry. Powerful beyond words.
As a single father who raised my daughter until her recent 18th birthday, I prayed for this to, all my life. Unfortunately it has caught up with her. I sent this song to her to show it's my fault, not hers. Love her tightly mate, there is nothing like the love of a daughter for their father.
This song creates such a profound experience with great speakers, balance, and the space to experience it!! Can be stimulating or peaceful depending on the situation... it's called ambience ... I could listen and just breathe... better with Manchester Orchestra than any Yoga or Kickbox class... just sayin'!!!

This song sends me to another place. I have found myself leaving work on stressful days needing to listen to this song so I can walk into my house in a better mindset.
I've lost my entire family through natural death and irreconcilable differences and felt so terribly along and it's with these kind of songs that I hang on and find connections again. Keep writing songs like this and saving lost souls like mine. Love you guys!!
I'm sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine how hard this must be for you right now. I hope your days get better and you are able to move forward in your life. I hope you are okay. Many blessings your way and a hug! 🌼
I can so relate to you I'll be 40 in Oct and by the age of 30 I had lost my mother my sister my dad and my little brother plus my grandparents each death unexpected ranging from house fire from smoking in bed to a brain aneurysm to liver cancer and a freak automobile accident as they labeled it in the local newspaper so trust me when I say I can relate. with you
So I've listened to this song about 40 times in the last week. Not even in a bad place or anything, just loving the energy and emotion out of this performance.
I've been listening to this song almost daily; read the comments too. Provides me daily strength and perspective in the low moments. This song is a masterpiece. Thank you Manchester Orchestra.
I agree. It strikes a chord within my soul and I can feel the pain dissipate into a comfortable silence only my higher power can understand. Stunning music 😇
@@TheJwmcleod Haha, thanks :-) you know their legendary concert at pinkpop? Where he jumps in the crowd ? That was just insane !! :-) first time for them to perform such a great crowd. And they totally crashed it. Im watching it now again. Oh my God!! Like every second of this show is just mesmerizing. Thank you very much in reminding me! And it was here in Holland. Hihiii :-) Me prowd of my country now too !! Peace
I absolutely NEEDED this song today. I have been struggling with the abuse my ex put me through, and it's so hard some days. This song helped me today. Thank you.
I Came across your song this drunkin night, missing my wife of 17 years who lost her battle with cancer 10 months ago. I don't even know what this songs true meaning is but it struck a chord & reminded me how broken I was & am again but also how she never cared about such things. Like we were tailor made. She never needed or deserved someone like me but she loved me anyway. She gave me purpose and responsibility. It's quiet all the time now and even though I know she is gone I still catch myself searching for her to save me again which led me to this song.
It was very emotional and touching confession! May God help you find the sense of your life again and strength to continue your life without your beloved one.
You bought tears to my eyes reading your story.this song also takes me to a very sad time in the loss of my nephew. My bother son.whitch was like my own son .Dylan and Derek were 6 months apart in age 30 and 31 yrs old .Dylan being the oldest.and the 1st grandchild.i miss him so much
@@michaelmccormick3204 The little things you notice now that you never did before & the things people say are some of the hardest aren't they? That and the nights..... " I am sorry for your loss" Is irritating to hear at the least, It's not peoples fault, they mean well but don't know what else to say. Everything reminds you of them, a smell an object even sounds. There is no rest from your thoughts. I feel for you man and my thoughts are with you. It's not always taking it one day at a time, sometimes it's minutes.......

Your reactions to this song and video have blown our minds. There is no better feeling than when music connects to strangers and we can share it together. We love you all. Stay tuned - MO
Amazing music makes feels!
So interesting/funny you posted this so recently. I have to mentally prepare myself to listen to this song. I love it deeply, but at times I literally have to avoid it. Today, for some reason, I landed on it.
I know this is lame as fuck but in 08 when I played shake it out for people I knew it was like they weren't hearing the same song I was. I connected to the music though it was a real f uped time for me. If it were possible to be more fucked up in life I dont know how let's just say. But I think what I'm trying to say is your music hits you like a sledge hammer at certain times and that's the power of it. Once it hits you that's it your a lifer. Please keep it up guys cause you help alot of people. Whether you know it or not. Its therapy for many of us. This is coming from a person that lost everything and now 10 years later still love you guys and kicken ass in life.
I listen to this song every single day. My wife died five years ago and music has been the glue that has held me together. Yours more than most.
Manchester Orchestra ♥️thank you guys
I'm Robert God made me schizophrenic. My dad died when I was 19 n I started drugs n done a lot I died three different times. I lived destruction lost everything. I finally quit at 35 and I lost my mind seeing n hearing the voice's was so much I would cry out to God. I spent 2 yrs in a mental hospital where I found God I prayed not for myself but for him I said to him I cant imagine what you go through n now the voices stopped. I had to love myself before he'd help me. This song helps it slows everything down. Thank you for this song
We are here with you man. Can't imagine what you're going through. Take care.

I have terminal metastatic breast cancer, I'm fighting like a demon though. This song really resonates with me. I see the 'Silence' as the cancer. But I'm not accepting my prognosis.

Thank you for the strength and complexity of this song. You guys rock!!! Love and light. Xxxxx

The first time I heard this song I was on a trip with friends at the beach. It was the night before we all left, everyone was in bed for the night I was taking stuff to my truck because I wanted to get an early start in the morning. This song was playing over a speaker from somewhere next door. Didn't see anyone. Didn't hear anyone. Just me, alone in the dark, with this song. I sat down and listened and it's a moment I will never forget. One of the eeriest and wonderful moments I've ever had.
That would be an awesome experience. It's such an amazing song but to hear it in that situation, alone and being there just at the right time with just the music. Lucky bugger.
This will stay with you forever. Moments like this are so powerful. 1991 I take a roadtrip to cali with the top off my jeep. As I break the top of the hill, first time I am listening to The Cure's Mixed Up album the opening chords of Hot Hot Hot hit. 2024 all I have to hear is the start and I go back.
Now anytime in your life when you hear a couple of chords its going to take you back to that place. These moments.....you are a luck one!!!!!
Hebt das EGO, durch das LEID !!! 😏✌️❤️😎
That’s an incredible memory, it sounds so surreal. Thanks for sharing that with us! ❤
I was in my college dorm room after buying Bjork’s Vespertine. I had 3 roomates so it was rarely quiet in my room. I laid on my bed and put it on for the first time. There were these bugs outside the window. I don’t know if they were some sort of mosquito or gnats, but there were so many of them. They were floating and swirling around each other very slowly and methodically like no other bug I had seen. The beginning of It’s Not Up To You came on and they truly seemed to be dancing to the music, like they were in a trance. I was sleepy and fading into a nap just watching these beautiful bugs fly around to that delicate music box sound and I knew right then I would never forget that moment. It still sticks with me to this day.
I watched my wife take her last breath as the life left her on January 1 of this year. It was a 21 day battle with cancer she couldn't win. I've listened to this song at least a hundred times since that moment. I've found my own meaning and comfort in it. Thank you.
Big hug ❤
I pray that you find Peace and even more, that you see her again. Shalom, Mr. Johnstun.

We wanted to create a really special live performance for our fans, seeing as we haven’t been able to be together in quite awhile. So we returned to the place where we recorded A Black Mile To The Surface and played the album in its entirety. We are so excited to share this film, for free, to everybody. This album and your reception to it has exceeded our expectations, and we felt this the best way to thank you all for supporting our music. This feels like the perfect way to close the Black Mile chapter, and I’m excited to say that this is more than just a concert. It’s also the beginning. Manchester Orchestra RUclips. 2/12/21. 8pm est.

I swear when I say this... it is the BEST song ever heard in my opinion. It opens a fucking gateway to my soul, and can easily send a man off the rails into.a beautiful depression (if there is such a thing). It resurfaces dormant memories for me and I had to have a week off work as I went fucking bonkers and couldnt put the bottle down and had this on repeat. This is a magical song that can break a man down but build him up into a stronger person. I just have to say this from my experiences, ex military, PTSD from war... this song is the BEST SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD! end of story!
This song is a hit...I don't know how many times I hv played it.
Many years from now it will still be a classic. Who agrees with me
I do I'm 63 and it's one of my favorite songs
When an 8 minute song feels like it's too short, you know you did something right. Wow.
I read your comment and had to check if this was really 8min long....felt much shorter...really ....wow❤️
Well, more like 7 minutes from the "Are we good to go?" (1:07) to "Goodnight yall" (8:22). But still, the effects linger on. I've played this, and then found myself humming or whistling the tune many hours later!

I never realized how long this song was until I read your comment!! I love Tool but their 8 minute + songs seem to last forever. Maybe because this song is from the heart and has a deeper meaning than angst.

Чувствую себя очень счастливой и хочется поделиться с миром этим ❤
I lost my 24yr old youngest son 10 weeks ago, and my passion for life died with him I'm now simply exsisting. This song found me at my worst darkest, saddest day of my life. I listen to it everyday and weep and his voice and its beat, resonates in a messed up way. Somehow It console and comforts me. It makes me wanna scream and and at the sane tme curl up in bed and sleep with the hope of being waken up by him and realising it was just a bad dream. Haven't had a decent nite of sleep since woken up to the news of this tragedy. Missing him so much, Zakk was such a humble amazing loving son. I was his legend, and he was mine. FLY HIGH BOY! THank you MO for such a masterpiece. Can't stop listening to it. xoxo

My husband is terminally ill with Alzheimer's.
He hardly communicates with us anymore, and doesn't react to any stimuli.
Once, I was listening to this song - and on a whim - I put the headphones on his head.
Suddenly his expression changed and soon, tears were streaming down his face
Omg tears are streaming down my face for him for you and all those lost in like ghosts in a body no longer working, I hear you I see you, I feel you and I am so sorry for the despair that you’re experiencing 🙌❤️🙏
@@pinchebruha405 Thanks for your kind words and empathy
Does listening to a 40 Hz tone clean up the brain in Alzheimer's patients?
They found that exposure to one hour of 40-hertz tones per day, for seven days, dramatically reduced the amount of beta amyloid in the auditory cortex (which processes sound) as well as the hippocampus, a key memory site that is located near the auditory cortex.
It touches the inner most cords of my vulnerability. I am on cancer treatment and this song/ his voice brings me to the hear and now of my being 😊
Music is the best therapy. I bet if you played music he grew up on, you would see him smile and maybe sing along.
Here I am, fighting terminal cancer. This song IS life. I do not remember how I came across it, but from moment one is became a special one for me. Not a day goes by without me listening to it, at times "on repeat". Thank you, Manchester Orchestra. You created a masterpiece....a heartbeat. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’m 36, married with a 8 year old daughter and a 6 year old daughter. Have been diagnosed with ptsd from the military, major depressive disorder, anxiety. Several times I was going to take my life. Once my 8 year old was born, I’ve still struggled but have mustered the strength to be there and the best version of myself for those angels. If you’re going through something, please don’t give up.
Glad you are still here ❤
Yes, so glad you’re still here!
Thank you for your service! You‘ll get through it and over it, we believe in you and your family 🙏🏼!
Keep hanging in there my brother, you got this.
The most noble cause there is, we do it for our kids. Mad respect for you, brother. I wish you and your family long and prosperous life. God bless
When a song carries such immense emotional tension that it brings you close to tears and feels like there's a stone in your chest… Then that song is a masterpiece. It's absolutely incredible.
Everyone has different reactions to songs. For me, this song drives home the loss of my son. Life is proper cruel, this we have to accept. Loss or loved ones we have to mourn and remember. They say time heals, which is crap, love heals. We need love from people to help us heal. I find that love in music.
So sorry for your loss. Cannot imagine the pain but can send the love. Man hugs to you sir. Keep on.
🫶🏼
Both love wasn't enough to heal all the loss I have had and it took a lot of time a lot of time and honestly I think as people trickled out if my life is when the pain stopped but that could have been a coincidence with time. Everyone is different but the only thing that kept hope in my heart was what I thought was a bs sentiment "time heals"

Beautifully said. I’ve lived through so many losses, including my entire immediate family to tragic and untimely deaths and to me it’s that it takes making new happy memories to offset the grief and horror of the horrible ones and joy to offset the pain, but love is intrinsic to that. Ironically, it can be harder to come by when you need it most and despite where death and loss may seem to bring people together it frequently does the opposite, tears people apart and is very isolating. I felt utterly in what you said, though and that’s one reason I frequently feel survivors are the best people to know, and best people of all.
My 32 year old son Travis passed away February 10, 2024 😭😭💔💔My only child 💔😭 He was a good soul with many struggles and tried so hard to find himself and fit into this world. I love him and miss him so much 😭😭😭💔💔💔

I'm so very sorry for your loss. It helps to find people you can talk about it with.
I'm sending warm hugs.I embrace you my heart. Love 🫶🏼,& Spirit Hugs 🕊️🫂 `Be gentle,,& kind to yourself.🫶🏼🪴
Amazing song chilling yet comforting
I'm a 40-year-old recovering alcoholic. Tomorrow will be my 11th anniversary without a drink. My daughter was born during my first year of recovery. This song brought back so many emotions in dealing with the terror of fucking up my daughter's life or passing along my learned life behavior to her. My 60-year-old mother introduced me to this and it immediately brought me to tears.
Congratulations for your strength!Keep going ,you are strong!
♥
Love from a brother. I just had a daughter and it terrifies me thinking that how I may unknowingly do the same mistakes my father did with me. I ended up hating him and he has passed and there is nothing I can do with how I feel about him.
Well done... I was in a bad way when my princess was born too. Music and a mirror turned me into a man that day...... Keep kicking ass Drew......
The good news is, you haven’t fucked up, keep smiling.
The moment when you hear the first tones of a song and you exactly know you like it.
yesssssss
I feel the same
Word
Same
Yeah, sure. No doubt
The craziest thing about voices like his is that his heartbreak brings so much healing to other's. Your voice is healing, even when it sings of pain. True Gift.
Love the lyrics the song and everything about you yours faithfully miss nelson
That'd exact Rickey m
His voice gives me hope.....the music inspires me so much!!!!
I have listened to this over and over
Just lost my mother from covid19..i keep listening to this masterpiece all day and all night..it's so painfull, my heart aches, feels like i can't breath.. i love you mama..you'll always be with me..please forgive me for not being next to you these last days of your life..we'll meet again someday..rest in peace..
I am sorry....may peace be with you.
@@anneshadasgupta1594 thank you so much..
... I'm sorry - I am listening to this song with you "together" to keep your company.
Sorry for you. May peace be with you and your family
sorry for your loss. There's hope for the living
It's 2 am. All alone listening to this masterpiece. My brother died in a freak road accident in November of 2011 just 3 days before I was supposed to get married. All his memories are in my head and I will keep cherishing them as long as I am alive. "There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection"
So close yet so far. Stay safe everyone!
❤
That line stays with me. My 31 year old son and only child died May 21 2022. I will survive, but I'll never be the same. I'm 61 trying to live a life he would be proud of, but if God took me tomorrow I'd be OK with that. It's not just losing him, it's losing all the plans we had to do things together, all the future I hoped for gone with the end of my family name, all the calls and texts I can no longer make to share something funny. ...I don't just listen to this song, I FEEL it. I miss you Hunter and can't wait to see you again😔
My son passed 2:28 away from an overdose at my house. After they removed his body for the last time, I went to put a favorite song that we shared and this song for no reason was on RUclips when I put RUclips on. It's become a tribute to my son. I play this song several times a day. I absolutely love it and I love and miss my son
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope he rests in peace, and I wish you much strength.
😢
@@tiredofit4761 I am tremendously sadden by your life at this time. I will pray for you and your son
🖤🙌🏻
I am so so sorry for your loss. Sending lots of love❤
One for the ages. A timeless classic. Little girl you were cursed by my ancestry. So much to be learnt from those eight words. I close my eyes and listen. Before me I see my sisters, my mother, my grand mother. They stand alone, but never at rest.
At the ripe age of 65, I'm still impressed with how these young bands have kept music worthy of a listen. Thank you for helping me reminisce about the past.
Well put
It's just a number.
What a wholesome comment, may you have a long, healthy and happy life!
I’m with you, Frank.
Me too I love this kind of music
2018 was the hardest year of my life - Our daughter Candice passed away due to complications in removing a tumour on her kidney. She was 35 and has two little one's, Rachie (4) and Abigail (20 months). She was an amazing mother, wife, freedom fighter, daughter and most importantly, friend. I can't express how much we miss her. Andy and team , this song is legend, I listen to it all the time. All i can can say is this. Let's appreciate our kids for the gift they are; they are not ours, they are entrusted to us by God. We have a huge responsibility> Thank you
My girlfriend is 35 and has cervical cancer and now she has leukemia and a failing liver from all the chemo. Very hard to watch someone you love go through something like this and you feel powerless to stop it. We have a 10 yr old daughter who idolizes her mother and it breaks my heart to see her watch her mother getting closer and closer to death. Im sorry for your loss Paul.....i truly understand what you are going through.
@@sleuth2077 Hey Sleuth, I went cold reading your message. I am so sorry you have to walk this road. It's hard, very hard and few truly understand what you are going through. One feels so helpless. I don't know you but know this, I genuinely feel your pain. Music has always been my refuge, more so the last four months. Stay strong Sleuth for your partner and that little girl.
I lost a child also!
I'm a father of two girls 9 and 5 years old, I have been their provider and protector since birth and I will remain that until death.
I can not know your pain, only you know the weight of that crown.
May your pain be healed and peace let in your heart.
Paul, I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your daughter. We aren't supposed to lose our children before us and it leaves an empty space filled with nothing but the hopes that in time the Lord will fill that with His love and peace. I lost my twins and I struggle to make it through each day. I have my daughter and she is the only reason I can even stay here. Trying to be a good parent when you are sick has taken all my strength but His strength and grace keep my head just above water. I understand your pain and I hold you and your wife and grandchildren in my prayers. Christ Jesus bless and be with you and your family.
As a man who has only in the last year finally healed from an agonising childhood. One of my greatest struggles is the fight to keep my children free of the trauma and agony. This song feels like an acknowledgment of the pain a parent feels in their efforts to protect their children from the darkness we can bring into their world. It brings me to tears every time.
As a parent of two and uncle to two, i just came across this song and idk why it felt so bitter sweet that it made me tear up, all I can say is, this song makes me realized whatever childhood and adolescent trauma I have, I want my kids and nephews to never be affected or see my pain, I want to shelter them from the dark side of life..I believe things happen for this very reason
As another of childhood trauma I'm so utterly touched by the comments here. The dear sweet acknowledgement of the suffering we endured. I realy feel humbled to be amongst you x
thank you for sharing 🫂

Wow🤍Beautiful🤍me as well🕊️
I'm in my late 40's sitting here with tears in my eyes... This song is nothing but a masterpiece... The music, the voice, the lyric, every second of this song is pure perfection.
That's true
A revolutionary
Agreed
Well said
I agree me too
The most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard. An anthem. Life. Forever this song will be stuck to my heart and bones. Thank you ❤
I've contemplated suicide a lot throughout my life. I heard this song and started to think about the pain I'll transfer to my loved ones if I go. I'm still here facing my fears a day at a time.
"Suicide doesn't take the pain away, it transfers it to someone else".
keep on fighting! I know it's hard, but keep on pushing. Something beautiful will come out of the struggle. It must. Just don't give up
Just keep on believing the best. Always try and be positive. You’ll get there. Good luck.😉
One day at a time my friend. You don't have to get through the rest of the decade, nor this year, not this month, not even the rest of the week, just today! Well done for making it through another day 🙂
I'm glad your still here with us
stay with us. Lets defy the odds and make it work. You're awesome. Find your awesome and lets celebrate your awesome xx Please dont leave. xx
I'm 75 years old, music is my all...this is the all time favorite bar none...blows me away every time...WOW !!!🎼🎶❤️👍
Same here. It is Amazing 😻 ❤️❤️❤️
Can you give us a little bit of wise or advice thank u🙏 ☺️
I’m 44 and I feel the same mate. Music is everything.
Listening to this song is either an intense epiphany, a spiritual awakening or a mental breakdown, maybe all three at once. I'm so thankful that I can experience something so beautiful ❤️
exactly
I have the same reaction(s) every single time I listen to this song.
Yup, you can listen to this song over and over and each time you do, you feel something different every time. Powerful song.
YES!!
Oh...my...God ❤ so beautiful, straight to my heart. Love this 🙏 Thank you.
This made me tear up mate it tugs on that string and speaks to my soul.. beautiful song performed perfectly..
One of the most amazing songs I've ever heard, and I didn't know this band existed until about nine minutes ago.
Xeno Zombie you’re in for a ride.
omg you’re missing out!!
@@lexiloo77 Not anymore, at least. ;)
Listen to 'I can feel a hot one'. That was their only song i listened to before this.
The same
As someone who's childhood was pure hell - now a mother I struggle daily. What a beautiful reminder to keep going - and cherish those babes.
So sorry to hear of the "pure hell" of your childhood sweetie! As with all things, good or bad, we learn, and hopefully take something away, and use it in a positive way, later in life! Hope all is well for you now!!!!
I feel this to my core
Sounds to me you grow to a strong Woman, believe in yourself and make your kid(s) the world to Heaven!
Why did you say this on RUclips
@@ballardfrogman um bc she wanted to. This song obviously hit a soft spot and reminds her of what she went thru. Have you ever listened to a song that just meant something? If not i feel sorry for you
If you're watching this in 2021, I love you and you're not alone.
🙏🙏👍👍 thanks
Thank you . I hope you are safe . We’re all in this together. ❤️🇨🇦
Love ya
Love you too... and no! We're not alone. There's always someone.
Same... So much... Keep keepin' on brothers and sisters... Keep on...
je découvre à l'instant.. Je n'ai pas de mots si je n'ai que je trouve sublime cette musique qui me pénêtre et mes yeux se chargent de larmes, ma mémoire fait tilt et un come back dans un passé déja lointain...victime d'un accident de moto...avec 3 semaines de coma.. 4 mois d'hopital/rééducation et retour à la vie, alors parisienne !... J'arrête d'écrire mais continue d'écouter ! ❤❤❤
اینجا ایران اینجا رامسر اینجا دریا پشته... خدا بزرگتر از آن است که وصف شود آیا میشنوید ❤
God works in mysterious ways, didn't think he did it thru RUclips! I discovered this song a few days ago and I can't stop crying. I'm 73 and am having a hard time coping with things I have no control over. This song is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I'm learning the guitar and as a beginner it can be difficult at times. This song has taught me to continue to work thru my obstacles and never, ever quit.
God bless you, your family, the band, and the wonderful music you all make together.
Early in the clip you show the keyboard player with his hands on the book of chords. Most of them are clear enough to copy down. Did you do this purposely? If so, thankyou so much for doing that. If not, then I guess God was being extra mysterious on that day.
Thank you from Canada and I hope that some day you will be in the Toronto area. Seeing you live is on the top of my bucket list
Hugs ❤
May your days get brighter. I love this song as well. It’s been a blessing to me in a very hard time. ❤ Love and peace! Spread it!
Hugs to you 🤗
Much Love to you, God bless
May God bless you. If you haven’t listened to Manchester Orchestra’s The Valley Of Vision EP yet, I have a feeling it may resonate with you. Sending you love and light on your journey. 🤍
"There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection" has to be some of the best lines I've ever listened to. So strong
I don't have any tattoos and I've REALLY considered that line as my induction to ink... It's a mantra for me now
Nothing goes to the grave with you but you. We all experience death alone and empty handed.
Seems I have been here before and gave the video a thumbs up. My past me had a good taste. Note to future me: Yes, you have been here. Twice. Or maybe even more often. Tell future-future-us to come back from time to time. We love this song. And it's timeless.
Lyrics
Why do I deserve the science
To feel better about you?
At a loss I lost my cool
I denied that I found you
I tried to be a basket case
I did not surprise you
I'm trying to find a signal fire
Let me know when I should move
But you, amplified in the silence
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Magnified in the science
Anatomically proved that you don't need me
Why do I desire the space?
I was mourning after you
I was lost and lost my shape
There was nothing I could do
I don't want to waste away
It was all I gave to you
Take me back and take my place
I will rise right up for you
But you, amplified in the silence
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Magnified in the science
Anatomically proved that you don't need me
All the while you waste away, you're asking
"Did I really need another one to take me down?"
Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling
Nobody's gonna tear you down now
There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection
There was nothing but quiet retractions
And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet
There's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there"
That was something your father had burned in me
Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity
You can go anywhere but you are where you came from
Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry
There is nothing but darkness and agony
I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking
Let me watch you as close as a memory
Let me hold you above all the misery
Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
Thank you so much
Appreciate it
Thank you, English is not my first language so it is highly appreciated.
Linnnnnnnnda ♥️♥️
Wow. Makes me think of my mother who just passed away.
How the hell am I just now discovering this band? I'm getting tired of hitting the replay button, never tired of this song...its an epic masterpiece.
Welcome.
Dont you love finding new music here?
Hahaha...same here, replaying the third time now before your comment.
Same
Agreed
"The Silence" by Manchester Orchestra is a song about feelings of isolation, fear, and the search for meaning in life. The lyrics narrate the struggles of the protagonist as they grapple with their own existence and the overwhelming pressure of society. The song delves into the themes of mortality, hopelessness, and the constant battle to break free from the silence and find genuine connection with others. Overall, it is a poignant reflection on the human condition and the yearning for authenticity in a world that often feels cold and detached.
What a glorious analysis of this song. I loved this song before I understood the lyrics, which I definitely relate to my own existence. Thank you!
I hear the dichotomy between the protagonist as you say and the antagonist.....an identity crises that teeters on the precipice of insanity....times tide is mothering and smothering.
I don’t really know the authors official meaning of the song but I interpret it like a conversation between a mourning father and god. He is trying to grasp the pain and void he feels after loosing his daughter. I would love to read more interpretations of this beautiful and amazing song.
Merci
Merci
5 years later and still one of the greatest songs out there!
This is what music is about. I've on and off dealt with depression for over a decade since my teens and it's music like this that has always got me through it. Thank you so much guys.
I can say the same but I’m now 53. Find what sustains you and fight. For me it has always been music as well.
❤
@@indylar there is something about music. It just has this calming effect. I just hope more people can come across this masterpiece and feel like fighting a little more.
Sending you light and love.
❤❤ your a warrior❤
Can't believe I just discovered this band and track. This song, the singer's voice... it freakin hits like no other. Slams my soul and emotions all at once. Amazing.
This is one of the greatest bands ever, I hope you find some of their other songs and albums to be just as amazing cause they have so many other amazing tracks
Totally agree with you. I felt like I was living under a rock when stumbled on this band just now.... the song cuts deep....1000 cuts....
Keep listening 😌 this has been my favorite band for 14 years and it has been a thrilling ride. Once you discover Andy Hull, you discover so much more than just Manchester Orchestra. He has endless side projects as well and his voice knows no bounds. His music is invaluable to me and has quite literally saved my life more than once. The thought of living without it is unimaginable to me at this point.
Enjoy the ride ♡
Look up "Where Have You Been" by these guys. It's one of my favs
I just found it too.
I’ve been fighting cancer for two months, and I been able to keep my head high, but I finally let myself break down with this song… and it felt good…
All the hugs brother. You've got this! Remission since late '18 myself. The fight gets really hard...really hard, especially near the end... but the joy when you finish that last treatment is worth it.
sometimes music is the best medicine.
Mike, Sending You Hug’s 💟&☮️ and Bestest day’s Ever, Forever!! Peace&Respect, Shelley
From one Mike to another you’ve got this brother. I just lost half my left kidney to cancer. 2 weeks ago. Now cancer free. Praying for you my friend.
Hey, Mike, be strong. You can fight it and win over cancer. But only if you believe you can and have the will to beat it. Only in the west, the word C is not to be spoken. In Asia you Co exist as they rarely do surgery and chemo is not advisable. Let me k ow if I can help, I'm not for big pharma prescribed drugs. I believe in Holistic approach. Love you bro ❤
January 2025, it's the first time I hear this song. It hits me straight in the heart, it's pure vibration. Powerful!
❤
I’ve only known it one year and it hits my soul every time beautiful hey ☮️☮️☮️☮️☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️
I wrote a good friend's eulogy listening to this song a few years back after he took his own life. 15 years of active duty weighted to heavily upon his mind and he is still missed to this day. RIP Tani
RIP Tani, thank you for your service.
Until Valhalla dear sister
Til Valhal bro
@Snoozebutton I av stood on that chair in my flat with a noose around my neck the reason I'm still here is my son would of been the first to find me , if I'd been in the park at that time I would of jumped .every day sueside comes into my mind.
Wow! Wow! Wow! This song gets to my soul.
I am a 62 year old black grandma that is totally in love with you guys.
This song is awesome! I luv it, luv it, luv it.
I sure would love to see you guys in concert. Let me know when you'll be in Texas.
Hey Grandma, 78y old Grandpa here, feel the same about this music. Ain't RUclips great!
upo Smile, your comment made my day. thank you
Listening on Christmas day 2020. Wow what a song. Best song ever. I can't get enough. What a powerful song.
Me too. :)
Me to, I discovered this group about 2 months ago, plus this track. I can't get enuf ov it. His voice is mezmorizing
Agree...
I know how that feels.. enjoy the feeling
Yeah, me too
Perfect song ♥️
Just brilliant. I’m in my mid sixties, and I’ve been music-obsessed for most of those years. And I’m genuinely obsessed with Manchester Orchestra! So well written, so tightly delivered, and Andy’s voice is one of the most compelling I’ve ever heard!
I cannot begin to tell you what this album (and this song in particular) means to me. I’m a grown woman with children... when I first heard this song, it reminded me of our own journey into parenthood. The tiny moments of seeing the baby on the ultrasound, the big moments of anxiety, the constant questioning, especially by my husband, like did they get the best parts of us or the worst? Are we doing everything right? I was heavy into listening to this album on repeat when one of my best friends, whom I was in a crib with when we were newborn babies 37 years ago, was losing her life to cancer this past summer. This song turned from reminding me of my emotions associated with my own children to experiencing immense empathy for her mother as she lost her only daughter, and I cried for entirely different reasons as I experienced it in a whole new way. I actually listened to it on the way to say goodbye to her while she was still lucid and knew she had only days left. I also think about my own dad, whom I lost 20 years ago, and how he must have felt leaving this world with his wife and children behind. One of the last things he said to me was, “Who is going to take care of you?” before he went to the hospital and never came home again. I’m sure none of the band members will ever read this, but if you do, I want you to know how much your music means to me. It hits so many raw nerves at the same time for different reasons and I am grateful it takes me to all those different spaces of reflection every time I listen to it. Thank you. ❤️
I do hope they read it, thank you for sharing.
Steve Traschetti thanks. What a nice thing to say!
Big brother's watching - & I'm in awe
@@melissaharville81 He's a miserable shit, pay him no mind. Here's hoping they see it. If nothing else, hot damn, that's a reason to love this song. Sorry for all your loss.
Mobitron thank you so much
I lost my dad 2 years ago and this song was the emotional release I needed. It was incredibly painful to listen to this most of the time, but I kept coming back, somehow it was important to feel through the pain and this song helped me connect to that pain. It still hurts to listen to this, but there's lightness mixed into the heaviness now, a lightness of joy in having known my dad and everything he meant to me. To those going through loss and grief, just know that you're not alone. You are loved, and while the pain never fully goes away, it transforms eventually into strength, love and appreciation xx
the strength it requires to allow ourselves to truly experience the pain that comes with an experience as final and shattering as the loss of someone so engrained in our very being, is in and of itself, a very respectable thing. i’ve felt a lifetimes worth of feelings in the past two years. so trust me, i empathize with you. this song did the same thing for me. it broke down the walls. his voice transmits the emotion with so much energy it’s palpable.
Hugs-◇♡
He rest in peace and I'm pretty sure he is so proud of you, you will continue with his love
Hugs from Brazil, buddy
I lost my dad this last July 5th. Since then, I just feel like a pinball, bouncing off walls & barriers & places I don't belong. The worst part is that I never had one real convo with him about how I really felt, what I truly believed, things I wanted to do, what hurt me... I knew most of his story, but why do we get scared of showing what we're really made up of? I wish I could've shared that with him.
This song brings me to tears. I’m a grown ass man 34 and it’s hard to compose myself hearing this. Just amazed, makes me realize I can still feel after so much and becoming numb and cold.
Yea life can feel pointless when you hit a certain level of numbness and coldness inside. Like the anchor keeping you grounded has run off and left you to fly off into the void
Feeling is living my friend
Feeling is living my friend
Took the words right out of my mouth man. 35 here. This song just hits me in my core. . . Keeps it real man. Cheers!
goose bumps
Recently lost my wife. We saw MO at the Leeds festival in 2009. Loved them from the first moment I saw em. But this song has saved me, and I don't know why. It just stirs me. It's just beautiful
I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife❤
I am so sorry for your loss❤️
I'am sorry for your lost! I can't imagine how it is! Lots of love from Holland! I am greatfull for this music....and if listening to this song: know that me and my boyfriend are also listening...❤
Si la amas no la has perdido, yo te la devuelvo
Y tú luchas conmigo, trato? Seguro q si....😊
I don't now if I can express how I feel about this song, it has every moved me so much. 23 years in a horrible abusive marriage, in all ways and extremely emotional. I listen to this now ironically in a brand new cruiser at the end of my street, sunset point and tears pour. But now they're cleansing tears, thankful tears, tears of hope and joy. I'm in so many worlds. A paradise, a hell, hope, endurance, confusion, rage, dare I live another moment.
God bless you everything is going to be ok leav it god s hands
Only one thing to do now...... LIVE.... Take your new soul for a ride it's never dreamed of.💪
Sorry sweetie! In time these emotions will fade! I only wish I could help speed the process you know!
All the best to you Michelle, take care an keep believing in yourself and in the better fate you deserve.
Live life and love yourself. Life's goes on , make your story a happy one. I recently thought I'd lost it all through bad choices but amazingly it's worked out fingers crossed. Live every moment you've got. X
Not many songs have the ability to move me to tears, but this is one of them. Powerful.
This song takes me far away from the agony and pain. Transported to another realm. Somewhere im seen felt heard and understood. In the midst of the suffering, awaiting the release.
I love when people make real music. It's this magnificent feeling of connection to know that there are people out there like you. Thank you!
Right. Society is messed up. A lot of people don't like emotional music because it makes you "weak" and these days usually the most empty and selfish music is heard the most.

This masterpiece just broke my soul...and thus healed it 💔🙏💔
Even through the darkest moments with our autistic beautiful daughter 14, who struggles with anxiety, and who is chronic suicidal, As a mother i find comfort in this incredible art piece , His voice is hugging my soul. There are so many times we almost lost her. As a parent you do everything. But you can't choose for another person to stay in life or not. we have no control. Life is hard, but also beautiful, we all have our struggles. Be kind. always. thank you for your music, it goes on a deeper level. Tina
Have you had her vitamin D levels checked? I think for me improving that helped my mood. The official recommended level is too low too. Sunlight may also help as it provides more than vitamin d and circadian rhythms but protects the mitochondria. We didn't evolve to spend so much time indoors. Also NAC has been shown to improve autism as autistics have higher oxidative stress in the brain (something sunlight may help with.)
No way, this could have been the story of my life. I just wondered if I had written this comment, but my name is not Tina.
Be sure, you're both are not alone. I am the mother, my daughter will soon turn 17. She was hardly depressed at the age of 12/13. She suffers very quiet, but there were seldom moments, when she cried. She desperatley asked me:"Mom, what is wrong with me? Why do I feel, as if anything I am is wrong? And I can not be anybody else than me, even if I try to be a normal kid. I am mess. Everywhere I go, people hate me. I can't stand this no more...!"
And I always repeated: "You're more than normal, not less. You are special, you are gifted. I ordered a little unicorn, now I got two little unicorns, you and your sister. And I love you both the same way though you're totally different. And I wouldn't have it any other way."
Sometimes she is so rude to me, unfriendly and cold as ice at the north pole. And then one day she came to me and said:"I like you, mom! You are my Safe Place!" 💓
I hope you can feel the meaning of it...
This will stand on my gravestone "Safeplace of two" Or I put it on my instagram-bio... ✌️
I lost my son at a year and 3 months. This song has always carried me through my downward spirals. I hope this band knows how much they truly help people going through life in all colors.
Jesus, Kaitlyn. I'm so damn sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine that kind of pain. My heart cries for you.
@@irish7460 you have no idea how appreciative that is. Thank you for your comment. 💙
@@irish7460 id love to be pen pals if your up for it!! Thanks again for your comment!
Feel your pain sister. 20 months ago same faith knocked on my door and took my youngest. Life is tough but if we're still here and this is our journey we can't waste a day. We have to live our fullest as that's what our sons would be doing if they were still here with us. They want to see us happy as we would want to see them happy if it was the other way round. ❤️ u

This was my little brother's anthem. We listened to it daily for the last few months. We spent so much time together and had been through so much with only each other for support. He took his own life 3 days ago and all I can hear is him promising me he wouldn't leave me here. I just realized I'm not ready to hear this song yet.
I‘m so sorry for you loss William! Wish you all the Love and healing your Soul and Heart needs Right now. Take your Time to grief! You and your Brother Are Never apart, his Soul will actually Never Leave you, he hears and sees everything you Go through - maybe This Song Can & will always remind you of that you actually are never alone .. Much Love from Germany
sorry to hear rhat.. love from india
My heart breaks with you. It's ok to cry!! You have to continue on and feel it all. I want you to know you are not alone in this world. We could never make sense of life, it's meaning, the good, beauty, hurt, grief, pain, joy, love, sorrow. The definitions are endless and at the end of the day we have no other choice but to continue. I have a hard time even writing these words bc I don't know that I even believe them. But we are going through life wether it feels real or not. I just want you to know you are not alone even though your brother is gone. He's still around you, it's not forever, it's only till next time!! I'll be sending you lots of love and strength to help you during such a hard time. ❤
But if it kept him alive then...it does now. Now live out what you aspire yourself to be like he was ...how he smiled, made ppl laugh, was kindred...etc...and then your living ,he's living, and the song is living...energy never dies . It can only transfer,transfer,or best of all transform darling beloved live it all out.dont fall victim...become warrior in this moment on. Live your life ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sending you hugs, positive vibes; I can’t feel your pain but I remember the pain of losing my brother.
How lucky are we to exist in the same timeline as Manchester Orchestra?
My mom died on april this year, my brother told me about this song, its exactly, or at least 90% of our history, she's in peace now. 🙏🏻 god bless you all people. Mom, love you and miss you like I never imagined.
God bless
❤❤❤

Most underrated music ever. This is a masterpiece.
40+ million views: loads of us are going thru some shit right now and we dont under-rate it. Think maybe this is a niche that not everyone needs all the time.
Actually it's a ripoff of this song

@@sergiogonzalez6239 Are you ok mate? Try listening again. Or googling the words you wanna use, just to make sure you are using them right, huh?
@@sergiogonzalez6239 it's not, but thanks for the link, that's also a good number. I like these ambient sounds, do you know this album ruclips.net/video/xL3MBMim36E/видео.html .
totally agreed but shit like rolling stones is still more popular, music is such a fucked up industry
As a man with a 5 month old daughter; the last verse of this song had me literally in tears. I pray she has all of my good and none of the curses of my ancestry. Powerful beyond words.
As a single father who raised my daughter until her recent 18th birthday, I prayed for this to, all my life. Unfortunately it has caught up with her. I sent this song to her to show it's my fault, not hers. Love her tightly mate, there is nothing like the love of a daughter for their father.
Absolutely gorgeous poetry...
This song is going to be one of the only few masterpieces that touches the soul and soothes the pain. You guys are geniuses!
Agree with you bro... Can you send me like this songs?
This song creates such a profound experience with great speakers, balance, and the space to experience it!! Can be stimulating or peaceful depending on the situation... it's called ambience ... I could listen and just breathe... better with Manchester Orchestra than any Yoga or Kickbox class... just sayin'!!!

Yeah man
I suffer from a serious illness that has robbed me of so much. I listen to this song when I need the power to carry on. Thank you.
This song sends me to another place. I have found myself leaving work on stressful days needing to listen to this song so I can walk into my house in a better mindset.
First time I heard this song I knew it was an instant classic. Brilliant
I've lost my entire family through natural death and irreconcilable differences and felt so terribly along and it's with these kind of songs that I hang on and find connections again. Keep writing songs like this and saving lost souls like mine. Love you guys!!
I'm sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine how hard this must be for you right now. I hope your days get better and you are able to move forward in your life. I hope you are okay. Many blessings your way and a hug! 🌼
stay strong ! all my support for you
I can so relate to you I'll be 40 in Oct and by the age of 30 I had lost my mother my sister my dad and my little brother plus my grandparents each death unexpected ranging from house fire from smoking in bed to a brain aneurysm to liver cancer and a freak automobile accident as they labeled it in the local newspaper so trust me when I say I can relate. with you
Stay strong❤
I was lost,I lost my shape,there was nothing I could do.I don't want to waste away,it was all I gave 2U
So I've listened to this song about 40 times in the last week. Not even in a bad place or anything, just loving the energy and emotion out of this performance.
People here who are new to Manchester Orchestra I implore you to listen to the full album it is absolutely amazing!
That'd be my remaining heroin shots (metaphor lol)
Doing it now
Will follow this advice. These guys are really amazing.
Fabuloso
Will do, thank you.
Questa canzone è meravigliosa ❤️
I've been listening to this song almost daily; read the comments too. Provides me daily strength and perspective in the low moments. This song is a masterpiece. Thank you Manchester Orchestra.

I agree. It strikes a chord within my soul and I can feel the pain dissipate into a comfortable silence only my higher power can understand. Stunning music 😇
Indeed
No its not

@@TheJwmcleod Haha, thanks :-) you know their legendary concert at pinkpop? Where he jumps in the crowd ? That was just insane !! :-) first time for them to perform such a great crowd. And they totally crashed it.
Im watching it now again. Oh my God!! Like every second of this show is just mesmerizing.
Thank you very much in reminding me!
And it was here in Holland. Hihiii :-)
Me prowd of my country now too !!
Peace
I absolutely NEEDED this song today. I have been struggling with the abuse my ex put me through, and it's so hard some days. This song helped me today. Thank you.
I Came across your song this drunkin night, missing my wife of 17 years who lost her battle with cancer 10 months ago. I don't even know what this songs true meaning is but it struck a chord & reminded me how broken I was & am again but also how she never cared about such things. Like we were tailor made. She never needed or deserved someone like me but she loved me anyway. She gave me purpose and responsibility. It's quiet all the time now and even though I know she is gone I still catch myself searching for her to save me again which led me to this song.
It was very emotional and touching confession!
May God help you find the sense of your life again and strength to continue your life without your beloved one.
You bought tears to my eyes reading your story.this song also takes me to a very sad time in the loss of my nephew. My bother son.whitch was like my own son .Dylan and Derek were 6 months apart in age 30 and 31 yrs old .Dylan being the oldest.and the 1st grandchild.i miss him so much
@@midspan28
You are welcome.
Stay strong and keep the faith!
I know exactly how you feel. I lost my wife this past November in an accident and I'm lost everyday.
@@michaelmccormick3204 The little things you notice now that you never did before & the things people say are some of the hardest aren't they? That and the nights..... " I am sorry for your loss" Is irritating to hear at the least, It's not peoples fault, they mean well but don't know what else to say. Everything reminds you of them, a smell an object even sounds. There is no rest from your thoughts. I feel for you man and my thoughts are with you. It's not always taking it one day at a time, sometimes it's minutes.......
