I love seeing Caleb so happy. It warms my heart so much. He went through so much inner turmoil the last couple of records before this. I love to see him having fun now.
All three singles from the upcoming album have been great in their own ways I feel. This one being so happy lyrically just makes me really happy for Caleb after all he’s gone through mentally in his life. This song just makes me very happy and I love that he’s in such a good place now!
Whilst I preferred Sunshine over this track this is still an absolute banger of a song and I’m really happy Caleb is in a better place physically and mentally, can’t wait for the new album!
The bands in the US now look for songs that will bang on Sirius XM’s channel Octane. Which is exactly what this song will do! Octane spins = fans and hits. But good on them, I dig this track.
I started listening to Beartooth with Below and I'm super happy that The Surface is the next album for me to listen to, it worked out so perfectly and I'm glad Caleb is in a much better place!
6:52 Johnny I think you just inspired me to make a “Melodic Alterations” playlist, it’s a very specific thing I personally love in songs but I never quite knew how to describe it. I also dig a slowed down but heavier sounding last chorus if you know what I’m talking about, idk if there’s technical terms for this stuff 😂
Finally!! Lol I’m always waiting for y’all’s reactions whenever a new banger drops!! Wanted to add to the convo about maybe going in a radio direction. I think it makes a lot of sense to maybe aim for radio bc this is also a song that talks about something that he wants to spread to the world! That message of “dont give up, you can make it! The change starts with you and taking the first step.” I think his goal with this one was to reach as many people as they could so that people that may need to hear this will! And radio is a great place for a song like that to thrive! But it is Beartooth and I don’t think they’ll ever do a song without “that Beartooth moment!” Much love from Oklahoma, USA! 🫶🏼 ENJOY THAT CONCERT! They’re amazing live!!
I already loved them and got to see them live this week for the first time and OMG Caleb’s energy and presence was AMAZING!! Seeing them live gave me so much more of an appreciation to them and it made me so proud to hear that he is doing so much better and has so far done 19 months off the drink 👏👏👏👏 I didn’t want the night to end!! Since seeing them do this song live and hearing him talk about how it came about changed how I felt about it, I like the song and can appreciate the reason why.
such an amazing song! incredible as always, im debating buying there vinyl and i dont even have a player. I loved the breakdown at the end....a solo might have fit better at the end but this song just showed the variety of what they can do. Calebs change in life reflects in his music but dont get it twisted....they can bring the heavies when they need to. Im stoked for "The Surface" to surface.
This has grown on me, after a few listens - but still prefer Beartooths heavier work. Having said that, I agree with Johnny that I would have preferred a solo (in place or the breakdown). Plus, as others have said, great to see a heavy band promoting positivity and happiness.
yeah it felt like they needed to lean either a bit more or less into the heavyness. They're kinda at an unusual mid point with the short breakdown and chunky riffs, still dig the song but its just in kind of an awkward place soundwise.
I like how Roguenjosh described it in his reaction, the breakdown basically used as a celebration/victory dance. A happy take on something that is usually based around a darker subject/tone.
I kinda agree with you on that. I was expecting a pop riff down. But also I thought if there was going to be a breakdown, I'd want it to be heavier than what I heard on this song. Don't get me wrong, this song hits all the boxes for me when it comes to Beartooth, but I was expecting a heavier breakdown. But what I got did it for me you know? It's kinda hard to explain, but I still enjoyed the song regardless.
When I listened to this track the first time my two thoughts were 1) wow has he ever worked on the vocals, he hit some cool notes there 2) Panic! At The Disco vibes?? I thiught it went pop in a way that they do where it still felt alt and I'm here for it. It's a departure but a growth one and I'm here for it.
Hey guys, just found your channel and think your both brilliant, Perth says g’day mate. Not sure where to put requests so I’ll leave it here for the song “How to be a Ghost” by Brighter Than A Thousand Suns (metal). Hope you lads have a brilliant day aye, have a good one.
I love bear-tooth they are one of my favorite bands of course next to nothing more and shine-down followed by falling in reverse and five finger death punch
Not a fan of the recorded version but this song live is incredible. I saw them live this summer and it is a lot heavier and calebs vocals are amazing. Got goosebumps everywhere
If Caleb is healthy, then I am down with whatever he chooses artistically. He deserves to be able to share how happy he is through his music for a change.
I thought the same thing right away, but honestly this just gets better with every listen. It's definitely a different flavor, but I love to just drift away and get lost in this song. It's got a trippy feel good vibe and I love it. Happy that Caleb's doing better personally as well. I'm really excited for The Surface to debut and push the limits of what Beartooth can achieve.
i dont like it whatsoever but whatever makes them happy! The breakdown just doesn't fit but they're trying to appease the fans like me, who liked their very earliest stuff. Like I said, they evolved and have their own goals and obviously a wide fanbase.
ugh... like I just dont think I like their new stuff the first 2 albums got me through some shit and like im glad he's worked through his stuff and is happy but man his music just doesnt have that grit anymore.. fair weather friend and always dead might be 2 of my favorite songs of all time and there's been nothing on the last album or this song that stirs any kind of emotion in me.. I dunno im all for evolution but they may have evolved away from me.
I think the purpose of the new songs is to inspire others to get through there difficult times you know, get out of the "riptide" , find some "sunshine" and learn to love yourself instead of dwelling on the bad things.
Bro what?!?! Nothing on below got you?? I won’t give it up is very much an early beartooth song below is fantastic hell of it is powerful Disease as a whole album was amazing you genuinely felt nothing listening to clever or manipulation?
@@rowanl3059 so your comment made me go and do a relisten of below.. and ill say. its alot better than I remember but THIS song does literally nothing for me in fact I kinda dislike it..
@@deamonsoul1279 oh shit hell yeah dude lol. Yeah I’m super happy he’s doing better but it just doesn’t feel the same but than again I’ve never been super hype for the singles they release

Beartooth is my "ride or die" band. I love everything they have done, everything they're doing now and will love everything yet to come. 🐻🦷🤘🤘

That song is so infectious and happy, I love it.

You’re welcome! And I love that term. Link me to the playlist when you make it!

ENJOY THAT CONCERT! They’re amazing live!!
even when im not watching a sleep token video i still see sleep token merch lmao
As much as I love their earlier work, this song is next level - I rock to it so damn much! 🤘🏻
Riptide is on the new album and was the first of Beartooths new happier vibes. Might Love Myself is amazing, been blasting it everyday.
Always look forward to when you guys drop your reaction video! Might have to grab that shirt 😄
You should!
Love this song!
Good reaction boys I can’t wait for y’all to interview dayseeker I love them.

this song is so beautiful
love u guys. u make the experience of listening to the music and being apart of the community so much better. much love
🥹🙏🏽
His vocals are excellent here. Love this new, happier, more confident Caleb. Also, I need that shirt. Where can I get that?
This is absolutely fantastic 🥰
“Alright I’ll take
A riff”. I’ll second that!!
such an amazing song! incredible as always, im debating buying there vinyl and i dont even have a player. I loved the breakdown at the end....a solo might have fit better at the end but this song just showed the variety of what they can do. Calebs change in life reflects in his music but dont get it twisted....they can bring the heavies when they need to. Im stoked for "The Surface" to surface.
I definitely pre-ordered the vinyl and I don’t have a player either. Now I have an excuse to get one 😂
This one reminded me a lot of Bilmuri. Solid track!
I need a bilmuri beartooth tour asap
Hot damn!! 👀 I love this song! I listened to it a second time and was jumping around.
This song gives me hands like houses vibes
This has grown on me, after a few listens - but still prefer Beartooths heavier work. Having said that, I agree with Johnny that I would have preferred a solo (in place or the breakdown). Plus, as others have said, great to see a heavy band promoting positivity and happiness.
My only gripe with this song is that I feel like it didn't need the breakdown. I love seeing Caleb happy after everything he's been through.
yeah it felt like they needed to lean either a bit more or less into the heavyness. They're kinda at an unusual mid point with the short breakdown and chunky riffs, still dig the song but its just in kind of an awkward place soundwise.

Somethig tells me we will still get a much hevaier track or two on the album
Hawthorne Heights released their heaviest song ever the other day "The Storm" you guys should check it out.
Hey guys, just found your channel and think your both brilliant, Perth says g’day mate.
Not sure where to put requests so I’ll leave it here for the song “How to be a Ghost” by Brighter Than A Thousand Suns (metal).
Hope you lads have a brilliant day aye, have a good one.
I love bear-tooth they are one of my favorite bands of course next to nothing more and shine-down followed by falling in reverse and five finger death punch
So jealous that you guys get to see Beartooth, it will be an amazing show. They are better live in my opinion!
the jokes are amazing lmao.
Saw them in Adelaide and it was amazing
Not a fan of the recorded version but this song live is incredible. I saw them live this summer and it is a lot heavier and calebs vocals are amazing. Got goosebumps everywhere
This is my favorite Beartooth song since something off Aggressive
0:24 no THAT'S what she said
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If Caleb is healthy, then I am down with whatever he chooses artistically. He deserves to be able to share how happy he is through his music for a change.
Bearseeker.
So did yall run into RoguenJosh at the concert?
He’s not in NSW
@@nathandjohnny ah I see he went to the Adelaide show, assuming yall hit up the Melbourne show?
@@sithil nah we’re Sydney based!
I'd have left too, Nathan...
LIES
Johnny wears WAY too many hats to hide that hairline!!! (from a bald mans)
Love seeing Caleb in an optimistic place for sure, but personally this track ain't too much my vibe, compared to the first two
I thought the same thing right away, but honestly this just gets better with every listen.
It's definitely a different flavor, but I love to just drift away and get lost in this song. It's got a trippy feel good vibe and I love it.
Happy that Caleb's doing better personally as well. I'm really excited for The Surface to debut and push the limits of what Beartooth can achieve.
@@tmenke88 ye I heard it a couple times, maybe it'll grow on me!
Not saying this song is bad, but I think it is weakest of the singles for me. Maybe that is just because I loved Riptide and Sunshine so much
i dont like it whatsoever but whatever makes them happy! The breakdown just doesn't fit but they're trying to appease the fans like me, who liked their very earliest stuff. Like I said, they evolved and have their own goals and obviously a wide fanbase.

I dunno im all for evolution but they may have evolved away from me.
That’s fair, maybe our chat with him may give you some perspective on where he’s coming from though! Maybe you’ll find a new reason to listen to them.
I think the purpose of the new songs is to inspire others to get through there difficult times you know, get out of the "riptide" , find some "sunshine" and learn to love yourself instead of dwelling on the bad things.
