Bending blades on the longest of days You've encountered in an ice age Keeping time with an old sun Beating down like it's the last one Oh, aren't you so privileged to witness it fall Your observation makes your twice as small In a day, cut a tall tree in two Build it high in the back by yourself Burn it in the afternoon Oh, aren't you so privileged to witness it fall If you for one minute were moved by it all But if you're not caught in the moment I won't mind I won't set my expectations high where they should be What a slippery slope to climb When I find my feet I would soon retreat To a tower made of ivory Where I'd contemplate the mess I've made And take comfort in the temporary
saw these guys live a few years back in a really small record store in savannah,ga and when they played "sedimentary" I literally thought the walls might not survive the percussion, such a heavy sound..even briefly spoke with the lead singer and shook his hand (I know, cool story bro)
Very cool story, those small record store shows are really special. We had one in my town for a while called 180grams. At the time it was one of only 3 venues that had truly independent bands on tour able to arrive
@shakashaka2833 side note of my previous story, I went with a friend who was more familiar with them than I was..he (Aaron) had just introduced me to Cloakroom (Bending) about 2 weeks prior while we were working which gave me enough time to fall in love and crave more of that sound and let me tell you..dude....SEDIMENTARY!!!!....O..M..G..that main riff and its Black Sabbathy vibe, tone, and power with the heavy distortion on the bass and guitar, all while being crammed into this tiny little store shoulder to shoulder drinking $3 can PBR with a bunch of scene kids that smelled bad and looked worse lol it all combined to an energy that seriously felt almost as if it were slightly lifting the roof each time they slammed those strings..not to mention the drummer beats the drums as hard as anyone I've ever heard personally and I'm no expert but ive seen a handful of shows, at least to know this guy pounds drums like the hammers of Thor!!..I was probably only 6 or 7 bodies back from the stage/amps yet it was a pleasant deafening enchantment..pleasantly loud I'll say, unlike Dino Jr./J. Mascis in Jacksonville, FL now that was def unpleasantly loud, and I was at the very back cause I got there late lol
A couple of praises to be made: Love the direction! (Alex) That house is really gorgeous! That is one sick drum kit, love the warm colors and the transparency! That guitar strap is lovely, the guitar too! And what a peaceful song! Am I right? SHIT!
Can’t believe I was 20y/o when this came out, I still remember thinking how sick that Charles Bronson shirt was since it was a flashback to my freshman year of hs.

I want the lyrics for the song. I wanna know if he actually sings "to a tower made of fabric". Also why don't they have a facebook page, I'd like to like them and spread them etc.

8 years later, still a vibe
10 years later
Bending blades on the longest of days
You've encountered in an ice age
Keeping time with an old sun
Beating down like it's the last one
Oh, aren't you so privileged to witness it fall
Your observation makes your twice as small
In a day, cut a tall tree in two
Build it high in the back by yourself
Burn it in the afternoon
Oh, aren't you so privileged to witness it fall
If you for one minute were moved by it all
But if you're not caught in the moment I won't mind
I won't set my expectations high where they should be
What a slippery slope to climb
When I find my feet I would soon retreat
To a tower made of ivory
Where I'd contemplate the mess I've made
And take comfort in the temporary
This band fucks me up with how good they are.
I love the natural approach they took with this video, very tangible
Josh Weisenberger your thinking to much
I disagree, I think the song is about appreciating nature and it is reflected in the video, as josh says.
Cole Heideman Thank you, I just like how simple the video is, different from most music videos
Josh Weisenberger right, lots of natural light, no real plot, things like that. it's nice.
Cole Heideman Yep, in their natural habitat :P
This song hits on so many levels, and reading the lyrics only makes it hurt so good.
3:14 the moment in the song where it shifts and it becomes this intense feeling inside of my soul😩 LOVE IT
hank from breaking bad on drums
Fuuuuuck why am I so in love with this song.
because it's really fucking good
You know what? You're exactly right.
Meee tooo.. It wont play on spotify anymore (thats why I'm here) is there a such thing as playing a song too many times on spotify?? :(
This one never gets old

one incredible band, glad I've been able to catch them live
great song to think about the meaning of life. Cloakroom is cool
I can't believe it's been 4 years since I discovered these guys... that's like the entire duration of high school.
ApotheosiZ real talk like for real
I just discovered them 2 months ago and they made my trip to various UK art galleries/museums wayyyyyyy better.
I can't believe it's been like 9 years now... I'd give anything to be in my 20s again 😔
@@ApotheosiZ me too buddy
Lol. Ive been out of high school for 22 years
The Charles Branson Shirt is awesome.
I still love this song
arent these guys like factory workers in indiana?
fucking amazing song and artist. and the video is beyond perfection
Like every video Alex Henery does is amazing lol
Sifting the web for good music, found some. Great vibe.
this band has a strong influence of hum
+Diego Fernández de Souza Well the lead singer of hum did guest star on the track dream warden after all.
A couple of praises to be made:
Love the direction! (Alex)
That house is really gorgeous!
That is one sick drum kit, love the warm colors and the transparency!
That guitar strap is lovely, the guitar too!
And what a peaceful song! Am I right? SHIT!
Bands carried on with the Hum vibe? Where have I been?
So beautiful song...
I really like this. I'll definitely be keeping up with these guys.
I don't know what the hell "Stoner Emo" is, but if this is what it sounds like then I like it.
its shoegaze..
shoegaze is like white privileged, I threaten girls who don't fuck me, "my mom bought my honda" shit music.
Lets just call it Stoner Emo....
Mark Ritchie Oh yeah? maybe the new shoegaze bands but not MBV or Slowdive.
Okay I agree with u
i though they were mixing emo music with kyuss, which i don't know why people haven't done that yet
My fav❤❤❤
what kind of music would this be? like genre? I LOVE it
Gena Pullia I believe shoegaze listen to Whirr
dat solo at the end tho
+08bourquem he gets his weezer on for a second
Can’t believe I was 20y/o when this came out, I still remember thinking how sick that Charles Bronson shirt was since it was a flashback to my freshman year of hs.
This band must LOVE True Widow.

bending blades on the longest of days
you've encountered in an ice age

beating down like its the last one
aren't you so privileged to witness it fall
your observation makes you twice as small,
in a day, cut a tall tree in two
build it high in the back of yourself
burn in the afternoon
aren't you so privileged to see it fall
if you were for one moment moved by it all
but if you're caught in the moment i won't mind
i won't set my expectations high where they should be
"if you're not coming home"
Marvelous.
So good

This is really good
one of the best record labels in the circuit right now
Wooooooooooooaahhhh.
Dude I've been having some women problems. This song makes me smile. At least cloakroom is my friend. Thanks fellas.

Hells yeah
You guys have some really nice bands
Apparently stoner metal, experimental rock with influences from punk and emo. whatever it is i'm loving this song.
+M Path Shoegaze
Band rules! Video Rules! Alex does such a good job with these videos.
I just wish I knew more bands like this. Seriously loving the whole shoegaze/indie sound
Dope

5 punk rock points go to Cloakroom for the Charles Bronson t-shirt.

Such a cool video
I want the lyrics for the song. I wanna know if he actually sings "to a tower made of fabric".

Anyone know what the pedal the bassist is using? I see a fulltone Bass Drive but thats not what he is turning off at 1:26. Anyone?
this video has red winged blackbirds in it! best bird ever!
your observation makes you twice as smol.
Sm o l l l l l l l l l
Cool video, song, dog, band shirts like Charles Bronson.
Is that the lead singer of Native on bass?

does anybody know what effect they use on the vocals?! (is it a pedal? live you can see a pedal affixed to the mic stand)
Does anybody know where I can find the gif of when the camera moves through the trees like that?!
In Utero drums
Found these guys cause one of their kids was in a comment section. Not disappointed
I never realized the singer was wearing a Charles Bronson shirt. That's dope.
Charles Bronson shirt, respect.
@Gena Pullia
Id consider it Shoegaze musiccc
What kind of guitar amp is he using? I can't tell
***** Thanks dude, I did a little research and I'm pretty sure it's an Earth G1000, which unfortunately appears to be out of production. I really dig the tone and look of it though.
+Corn Paws craigslist 8^)
Earth Sound Research, right?
