Thursday is criminally underrated. Many have forgotten them. They were above average Emo/Hardcore Metal or Hard Rock, however you want to label them. Worth relistening to.
I remember the day I first even heard of Thursday in 2002 my buddy had a Thursday shirt. I asked about it and he said they are the best. I then bought the album waiting and fell in love that day.
Brady Davis is From a teen in 2003, to an adult in the present, this song has taken on an entirely new meaning revisiting it. I always told myself I’d never let myself become this very thing... but hey, Adulthood happens
thats because Emo bands were the first to realize, through social media and spreading your songs for free, that you gain twice as much revenue from table merch and concert tickets. A lot of other bands on Warped tour held the same sentiment. You can have 1000 people buy a song for $0.99 or have 5000 people show up and buy a $15 t-shirt and a $10 door ticket.
You know what annoys me? People who claim to be Emos but dont know shit about Thursday. These dudes are trailblazers in the genre and have inspired so many bands. Seeing them for the forth time in a couple weeks. They are playing with Many Eyes. Couldn't be more excited!! Love you since '05 Thursday 🤘
I never understood how this band worked. The transitions in the instrumentals are so abrupt and the singer’s voice is so odd, but it sounds so good and I’ve always liked them.
My god I love this band, this album, and this song. I remember getting out of the military and starting a "normal" professional career in NYC in 2003 and everything about War All The Time spoke to me. Saw them perform at Randall's Island, too. "We lie wide awake in our parents' beds / tossing and turning, tomorrow we'll get up / and drive to work (in single file) / with every day (just like the last!)"
Thursday was my favorite band in 2002, only to find out years later none of my friends liked the lead singer's voice, it's a shame cause I met Geoff twice and he was always super nice
I remember when I had just discovered Thursday and fallen completely in love... I went for a drive with my best friend, so excited to show him this new band. I put on Full Collapse, and as soon as Geoff started singing on Understanding, my friend said "Woah, pretty annoying voice, huh?" Needless to say, my heart broke :P
Geoff is a GREAT dude. My ex wife and I were pretty friendly with all the guys for years just due to seeing them at so many shows all over the country. We are both big fans. Tucker on the other hand is a giant douche. Fuck that guy.
I looove his voice and singing in style. He has these soft whispering parts and very distinct pronunciation and can really hit tough notes that takes real singing technique.
This song changed the music projectory single handedly. On July 11th I get to see their drummer and and bassist with the lead guitarist of MCR annnnd ANTHONY GREEN. LS.Dunes!

Nine to five! And we're up to our necks Drowning in the seconds Ingesting the morning commute Lost in a dead subway sleep Now we lie awake in our parents beds Tossing and turning Tomorrow we'll get up Drive to work Single file With everyday Just like the last Waiting for the life to start Is it always just always ahead of the curve Please take these hands Throw them in the river Wash away the things they never held Please take these hands Throw me in the river Don't let me drown before the workday ends Just keep making copies Of copies Of copies When will it end? It'll never end 'Til it gets so bad That the ink fills in our fingerprints And the silhouette of your own face becomes the black cloud of war And even in our dreams we're so Afraid the weight will offset who we are All those breaths that you took have now been cancelled in your lungs Last night my teeth fell out like Ivory typewriter keys And all the monuments and skyscrapers burned down and filled the sea Save our ship The anchor is part of the desk We can't cut free The water is flooding the decks The memos sent through the currents Computers spark like flares I can see them They don't touch me Touch me Please someone Teach me how to swim Please, don't let me drown Please, don't let me drown
I remember meeting Geoff in Winston Salem and he truly is a great, compassionate, kind man. I tripped over my words was in shock. he stayed and talked to people unlike other bands. Years and years ago and I still have my signed cast he really is a gift of a human.
This is the best Thursday album. I love them all but this one has everything and its Geoff's best writing. Steps Ascending just blew me away with its raw emotion. If you dont like them just because some idiot labels them emo then your missing out on a great band. Great music is great music, fuck labels!
Ur comment is 4 years ago, and I first heard Steps Ascending about 10 years ago.. But it truly gives me the chills just like the first time I ever heard. Thursday is something out of this world
Steps Ascending is one of my favorites. But nobody ever mentions the Asleep in the Chapel.. Falling Bomb.. Steps Ascending trio. I ALWAYS need to listen to those 3 songs in order, it's like one magical piece.
Saw Thursday live 2/18/11 with Animals As Leaders and Underoath in MA. I’ll never forget. And I will always come back to this album. I’m 27 now, In high school this prevented me from worse self afflictions. Thank you. Just.. thank you.
I'm forever indebted to my Texas Tech-dorm lunch hall for playing college radio and "Signals Over The Air" 2003-4. My genesis. Then Every Time I Die & Glassjaw. Good shit man.
I remember when this album was released. They did a show at HOB Orland opening for AFI. Unfortunately, AFI canceled, but Thursday put on one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Amazing band. Been listening to them for over 20 years. I'm looking forward to the show in February here in FLORIDA.
I didn't really "get" this song when I was a kid but now that I'm in my early 20's trying to fit into the "white collar" world, this song IS my life. This is the existential crisis I talk to my therapist about. Smdh.
I hear that. Now how about seeing the song in the context of war costs draining public provisions which could otherwise make the endless toil tolerable? That's the part I didn't get in my youth, but see so clearly 15 years later with a mind on history, both recent and ancient.
Increasing skills always pays off, but not always as soon as we think. Also keep friendships strong. Opportunities come from people who know you more than anything else. Be kind and read as many of the great books as you can. Do your best at everything. I wish you the best. 🙏🙏🙏
Where tf has this band been all my life? This is everything I love about emo, but it’s so hard to find bands like this nowadays. As most of them are more pop-punk.
Released 2 years after 9/11 and still had the balls to put the first line in there. I know they didn't write this song about 9/11 but the parallels are crazy.
This music is just so good. no way to describe it, i hope they somehow receive an award for this album, this is probs one of the best albums in rock history.
I used to work at SFO san francisco international airport.One day i was getting off when I spotted a lot of police and an ambulance.I asked what was happening to one of the bystanders he answered"Someone hung himself in the bathroom he has a suit and a briefcase older dude i wonder what happened".I started formulating theories in my head i imagined him being a businessman that lost his job and seeing no other possible outcome than to commit suicide.I hear it happens a lot people shouldn't be married to they're jobs its sad.Then this song came to mind because this album always brought those images for me i used to love thursday and at the drive in
I remember getting to see them on the War all the Time tour in Manchester. Right at the front. Screaming every word of this tune. One of my favourite album openings ever.
im one of probably 8 people who have seen this band 4 times, hung out with them, and got their dove logo tattooed on me...... this song is amazing and they opened with it everytime
God Damn Thursday, the most underrated band in this genre even in their hayday in 07' they didn't get the respect and sales that they deserved. they put everything into their music, and its contagious. And this is my favorite thurday song by far, followed by cross out the eyes and war all the time. fucking great band yet I've never met anyone else who's even heard of Thursday. shame.
man he never failed to bring a crowd to life i remember seeing them in like 06 07 BMTH opened for them so most the people left afterwards and he came out like fuck this shit start screaming in mic playing 4 encores like no one had a bed time and gave it his all, the dove always flies high ill never get all the years of joy Thursday has brought to me been listening since waiting and ill never stop.
It's not really capitalism, but corporatism. In a true, free market capitalist system, there is no central banking system and big businesses wouldn't get bailed out on taxpayer money, while small businesses are left to fail. This is 100% Corporatism.
This was filmed at Northern Lights, in my hometown of Clifton Park, NY....Where they are returning this April!!!!!!! Cannot wait. Been praying for a Thursday reunion for years.
i remember people hating this song when it first came out because everyone was so used to their sound from full collapse. I really respect how they evolved from album to album.

Real music real artists talking about the reality of the people who actually work for trying to make a living in this country. Not selling drugs and killing people.
Here I am, December 22nd, 2022... on a nostalgia trip listening to old bands. I hope you enjoyed When We Were Young... I hope to go to another show again someday. Happy Holidays.
Thursday is criminally underrated. Many have forgotten them. They were above average Emo/Hardcore Metal or Hard Rock, however you want to label them. Worth relistening to.
Above average? That's lowkey disrespectful to one of the biggest pioneers of the post-hardcore scene in the early 2000's.
@@andrewguvetis6941 Just my opinion.
I still remember the day that I hit play on my cd player in 2003...
Thank you Thursday for what you did to me.
Me too, used to listen to them every day on the bus. I think it was the first CD I ever bought, having no clue who they were before I bought it.
I remember the day I first even heard of Thursday in 2002 my buddy had a Thursday shirt. I asked about it and he said they are the best. I then bought the album waiting and fell in love that day.
me tooo!!! dying in new burnswick was the first song
I wish I could relate. My first cd ever was a Hanson cd. Middle of Nowhere! Love.
Criminally underrated. But you know it, already.
allrain yeah, we know. nothing short of fucking stellar. this is Thursday
Covid on monday, covid on thursday.
Absolutely, this is my adolescence.
That's wattup 🖤
Especially this album. Lyrics were meaningful and not just Hawthorne Heights esque. They must’ve been highly inspired by At The Drive-In.
Almost 20 years and still hits hard!
Hey it's 2023 now you can listen to it again it is already 20 years right now.😎😎😎😎😎
TimeFlys..!!❤😅❤
Damn son we getting old lol 😢
@@dangercat9188 Yes, we are! No joke, either!
BUMP
30 years old still rocking to this amazing piece of art this album truly is. Cheers to 1999-2005 Screamo ❤
Those were some good years with some bada$$ music. I'm 33 and still can't find music that tops that era of music.
It's still so god damn good
I'm 28 and same. I refuse to see it as a "phase" lol.
This song is always in my head on the way to work..
Phillip Witt Hope you got anothet job. Lol
And when i have to make copies for students i hear "KEEP MAKING COPIES OF COPIES OF COPIES WHEN WILL IT END"
@@johnwrath3612 😂😂
Brady Davis is
From a teen in 2003, to an adult in the present, this song has taken on an entirely new meaning revisiting it. I always told myself I’d never let myself become this very thing... but hey, Adulthood happens
It'll never end....
Being upfront 2006 warped tour . Having Geoff telling us that he didn't ducking care about us illegally downloading their music! Muah
thats because Emo bands were the first to realize, through social media and spreading your songs for free, that you gain twice as much revenue from table merch and concert tickets. A lot of other bands on Warped tour held the same sentiment. You can have 1000 people buy a song for $0.99 or have 5000 people show up and buy a $15 t-shirt and a $10 door ticket.
I remember that
Wish I counted or kept all my stubs from every single show I saw them at. So so many. New years eve in Jersey. Man take me backkkk
12 years later and I still remember the words perfectly.
like every song on Full Collapse and War All The Time. Lyrically Genius
I heard this song for the first time this year so glad I did
Same I still have the original warranty all the time cd 💿 lol
It’s 2022 and I never forgot….any of this album. Geoff has amazing lyrics and a great band behind him
I think I recite this song every Monday as I clock in
You know what annoys me? People who claim to be Emos but dont know shit about Thursday. These dudes are trailblazers in the genre and have inspired so many bands. Seeing them for the forth time in a couple weeks. They are playing with Many Eyes. Couldn't be more excited!! Love you since '05 Thursday 🤘
I hate posers
Thursday is one of the few only actual emo bands from the third wave
See this imo is a real post-hardcore band. Which is emo that's good. At the drive in, Thursday, cursive.. maybe thrice? Idk end of list.
Its like emo but with musicianship, and no radio play might as well be a prereq lol...
I never understood how this band worked. The transitions in the instrumentals are so abrupt and the singer’s voice is so odd, but it sounds so good and I’ve always liked them.
that's probably exactly why it works. Their style is really unique.
I listened to this song and hated it the first time, felt so odd, and you described exactly what I felt, but now I can't stop listening.
My god I love this band, this album, and this song. I remember getting out of the military and starting a "normal" professional career in NYC in 2003 and everything about War All The Time spoke to me. Saw them perform at Randall's Island, too. "We lie wide awake in our parents' beds / tossing and turning, tomorrow we'll get up / and drive to work (in single file) / with every day (just like the last!)"
war all the time solidified this band as AMAZING for me. not just another emo band they are an amazing punk/rock act.
Thursday was my favorite band in 2002, only to find out years later none of my friends liked the lead singer's voice, it's a shame cause I met Geoff twice and he was always super nice

Lyrics:
Falling from the top floor your lungs
Fill like parachutes
The windows go rushing by
The people inside they're
Dressed for the funeral in black and white
These ties strangle our necks, hanging in the closet
Filed in the cubicle
Without a name, just numbers
On the resume stored in the mainframe, marked for delete
Please take these hands
Throw them in the river
Wash away the things they never held
Please take these hands
Throw me in the river
Don't let me drown before the workday ends
Nine to five! Nine to five!
And we're up to our necks
Drowning in the seconds
Ingesting the morning commute
Lost in a dead subway sleep
Now we lie awake in our parents beds
Tossing and turning
Tomorrow we'll get up
Drive to work
Single file
With everyday
Just like the last
Waiting for the life to start
Is it always just always ahead of the curve
Please take these hands
Throw them in the river
Wash away the things they never held
Please take these hands
Throw me in the river
Don't let me drown before the workday ends
Just keep making copies
Of copies
Of copies
When will it end?
It'll never end
'Til it gets so bad
That the ink fills in our fingerprints
And the silhouette of your own face becomes the black cloud of war
And even in our dreams we're so
Afraid the weight will offset who we are
All those breaths that you took have now been cancelled in your lungs
Last night my teeth fell out like
Ivory typewriter keys
And all the monuments and skyscrapers burned down and filled the sea
Save our ship
The anchor is part of the desk
We can't cut free
The water is flooding the decks
The memos sent through the currents
Computers spark like flares
I can see them
They don't touch me
Touch me
Please someone
Teach me how to swim
Please, don't let me drown
Please, don't let me drown
thx
I'm still here.

Thursday, Thrice, The Used, Finch, Funeral For a Friend.. these were my whole life back in 2003 :)
Yep, 2:30 still hits hard. Love this band!
Can't believe these guys are playing Outbreak fest this summer, can't wait to finally see them after listening for like 17 years
I'm forever indebted to my Texas Tech-dorm lunch hall for playing college radio and "Signals Over The Air" 2003-4. My genesis. Then Every Time I Die & Glassjaw. Good shit man.
Zach Rollins good shit
That is fucking pretty cool actually. 👍
I'm convinced we know mutual peeps based off this comment alone.

So honored to have been in the crowd when they filmed this!
where was this?
I believe it was either at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence RI or Avalon in Boston.
DeathByBlunderbuss
ah okay
DeathByBlunderbuss Negative. This was filmed at Northern Lights in Clifton Park, NY
Jeffrey Werther couldn't be I've spotted myself in the crowd in this video it was The Palladium in Worcester MA. Never been to the one you mentioned.
Jesus... I almost forgot about this band. Walk down memory lane. How could i have forgotten this!?!?!
going to see them live in Chicago! they’re playing this album in its entirety!
Enjoy you lucky bastard.👍🏻
Just saw them yesterday. Geoff still sounds this good
I didn't really "get" this song when I was a kid but now that I'm in my early 20's trying to fit into the "white collar" world, this song IS my life. This is the existential crisis I talk to my therapist about. Smdh.
Emily King best way out is to build a business, you can do it.
I hear that. Now how about seeing the song in the context of war costs draining public provisions which could otherwise make the endless toil tolerable? That's the part I didn't get in my youth, but see so clearly 15 years later with a mind on history, both recent and ancient.
Plenty songs on the subject , telepopmusic breath, zero 7 waiting , Joni Hendrix if 6 was 9, and plenty punk rock
26 and living paycheck to paycheck wondering when it will get better.😢
Increasing skills always pays off, but not always as soon as we think. Also keep friendships strong. Opportunities come from people who know you more than anything else. Be kind and read as many of the great books as you can. Do your best at everything.
I wish you the best. 🙏🙏🙏
this has been one of my top 5 favorite songs since i first heard it in 2004. still the best and most widely relatable/relevant emo song ever made
One of the best pieces from that genres entire era.
Oh, the days when this "genre" didn't suck.
no matter how many bands I claim to be my favorite, NONE of them compare to the emotion and intensity of this band.
I was tryna figure out a way to say how much this fucking band means to me. And you took the words from my mouth, well said.
amazing song! true post-hardcore.
Some people would call this emo, but they are wrong, and you are right. This is just post-hardcore at its finest.
East coast EMO in affect! Triple OG’s!
Im 39 now and this is the driving force of my late teens and twenties. How does life escape us?
Please don't let me drown💔💔💔
Where tf has this band been all my life? This is everything I love about emo, but it’s so hard to find bands like this nowadays. As most of them are more pop-punk.
This album changed my life.
Song blew me away when it came out
2017 and I'm going to see Thursday tonight in Buffalo, NY. I remember listening to this when I was 13
Released 2 years after 9/11 and still had the balls to put the first line in there.
I know they didn't write this song about 9/11 but the parallels are crazy.
Still drowning in 2019 🤘
I get to see them perform this in two days I’m so excited 😭
I always wanted to see them live
I got out of the rat trap 15 years ago and never looked back, that was one year after this was released. Life changing... thank you Thursday.
What do you do now??
Seconded. What do you do now??
How do I get out?
Learned how to code and started a business
@@drucifer6Did you really escape the trap? Or are you just the one setting them now?
Years later and I still get chills everytime I listen to this song
Still one of my all time favorite songs.
The lyrics are so depressing, but poetic. Incredible song.
Now that I can't find work I'd gladly drown in a cubicle 🥀
This music is just so good.
no way to describe it, i hope they somehow receive an award for this album, this is probs one of the best albums in rock history.
Still recovering from the things Thursday made me feel.
Like I said, Every Thursday of this band needs a little Gym Class. 🤟🏾🤪🤟🏾
I used to work at SFO san francisco international airport.One day i was getting off when I spotted a lot of police and an ambulance.I asked what was happening to one of the bystanders he answered"Someone hung himself in the bathroom he has a suit and a briefcase older dude i wonder what happened".I started formulating theories in my head i imagined him being a businessman that lost his job and seeing no other possible outcome than to commit suicide.I hear it happens a lot people shouldn't be married to they're jobs its sad.Then this song came to mind because this album always brought those images for me i used to love thursday and at the drive in
John Olmos it is hi
I just vividly dreamt of my teeth falling out last night. Now im listening to this omw to work.
fun fact: Thursday was Robert Smith's favorite band in 2003.
I remember getting to see them on the War all the Time tour in Manchester. Right at the front. Screaming every word of this tune. One of my favourite album openings ever.
I'll listen to this band's albums for the rest of my life.
im one of probably 8 people who have seen this band 4 times, hung out with them, and got their dove logo tattooed on me...... this song is amazing and they opened with it everytime
You are a LEGEND!
Now I know what I want to get for my next piece.
2024 😂❤ thursday has everything
If this ain’t 2020 idk what is
Awh, one of my favourites about 7 years ago.
Needs more views. Such a good song 🎵
God Damn Thursday, the most underrated band in this genre even in their hayday in 07' they didn't get the respect and sales that they deserved. they put everything into their music, and its contagious. And this is my favorite thurday song by far, followed by cross out the eyes and war all the time. fucking great band yet I've never met anyone else who's even heard of Thursday. shame.
well said bro. they def didn't get the recognition they deserved. so talented and we're so awesome live. miss these days!
+Jason Bell Fucking great
No one is Thursday
These fucking guys were my obsession in high school in like 2005-2006ish. Still love them!
goof because if they did get famous they would most likely sell out like every other band out there
God, this makes me miss middle school.
man he never failed to bring a crowd to life i remember seeing them in like 06 07 BMTH opened for them so most the people left afterwards and he came out like fuck this shit start screaming in mic playing 4 encores like no one had a bed time and gave it his all, the dove always flies high ill never get all the years of joy Thursday has brought to me been listening since waiting and ill never stop.
Epic album.
Their best song definitely
Did he work in an office while writing this or something? Now that I'm older I can't believe how accurate this song is lmao.
I don't think this song will ever fail to give me goosebumps.
Just saw them at Riot Fest Chicago... Absolutely amazing. Please tour next year.
aaaaaand now you feel old
Me: -wonders what steered me towards hating capitalism-
Also me: -was going to Thursday shows at 14-
It's not really capitalism, but corporatism. In a true, free market capitalist system, there is no central banking system and big businesses wouldn't get bailed out on taxpayer money, while small businesses are left to fail. This is 100% Corporatism.
ha thursday looked so great performing this. Much love to these guys...i'm on a thursday binge right now.
This was filmed at Northern Lights, in my hometown of Clifton Park, NY....Where they are returning this April!!!!!!! Cannot wait. Been praying for a Thursday reunion for years.
I just noticed this grew up in Scotia and lived at northern lights
i remember people hating this song when it first came out because everyone was so used to their sound from full collapse. I really respect how they evolved from album to album.
This song has more bite today.
Favorite Thursday song ever. Their best album too.
Cant wait to finally see ya Thursday haha
Falling from the top floor your lungs
Fill like parachutes
Windows go rushing by.
People inside,
Dressed for the funeral in black and white.
These ties strangle our necks, hanging in the closet,
Found in the cubicle;
Without a name, just numbers, on the resume stored in the mainframe, marked for delete.
Please take these hands
Throw them in the river,
Wash away the things they never held
Please take these hands,
Throw me in the river,
Don't let me drown before the workday ends.
9 to 5! 9 to 5!
And we're up to our necks,
Drowning in the seconds,
Ingesting the morning commute
Lost in a dead subway sleep
Now we lie wide awake in our parents beds,
Tossing and turning.
Tomorrow we'll get up
Drive to work,
Single file
With everyday
It's like the last.
Waiting for the life to start, is it always just always ahead of the curve?
Please take these hands
Throw them in the river,
Wash away the things they never held
Please take these hands,
Throw me in the river,
Don't let me drown before the workday ends.
Just keep making copies
Of copies
Of copies
When will it end?
It'll never end,
'til it gets so bad
That the ink fills in our fingerprints
And the silhouette of your own face becomes the black cloud of war
And even in our dreams we're so afraid the weight will offset who we are
All those breaths that you took have now been canceled in your lungs.
Last night my teeth fell out like ivory typewriter keys
And all the monuments and skyscrapers burned down and filled the sea.
Save our ship
The anchor is part of the desk
We can't cut free,
The water is flooding the decks
The memo's sent through the currents
Computers spark like flares
I can see them.
They don't touch me,
Touch me.
Please someone,
Teach me how to swim.
Please, don't let me drown,
Please, don't let me drown.
this song resonates in my soul right now
I have that The Cure shirt! Wow
I'll always love Thursday. Got to hang out with Geoff once. Sweetest guy
Listening to this at 4:30a.m. as I sit in the parking lot waiting to involuntarily drown for the workforce.
Real music real artists talking about the reality of the people who actually work for trying to make a living in this country. Not selling drugs and killing people.
Oh wow...so all my favorite post-hardcore bands in 2008 were just trying to sound like this...
I'm in highschool now and I listen to this. So yeah.
How's life now?
@@Muzikrazy213 unfortunately still emo

I feel the same.....Except the Save Our Ship part at the end is what gets me every time......Amazing band....

This band has helped me through a lot of times. Belting them out!!! Always will be a great memories for me...

One of the many bands from my youth I forgot about.. so many memories and so glad I found this again
I was there... Feeling very nostalgic right now.
That’s crazy. Cooler than everything I’ve experienced in my life.
Take me back to this time and drop me the hell off!!!
