It feels like yesterday, doesn't it? Like just yesterday, we were kids and this was on our iPods, MySpace profiles, on the mixed CD in our friend's car stereos...
In 2003 I was a rowdy little hardcore kid stomping around at a Terror show in Anaheim, Ca. Before they came on, some random ass metal band called BTBAM played and blew my fucking mind. 20 years later, I'm almost 40, and this shit still goes hard. I will always love this band🤘
@@SpacemanXCdamn, I was a 1yo in 2003. Became a huge fan of them a few years ago and really envy those who got to see the boys through their whole journey
I remember buying CDs and getting a free victory records dvd with all kinds of bands ...this and the color of money and that bloodshed song by sinai beach was my best liked songs
brokeskull616 Hell yeah, dude! I have that same disc, it's what got me into these guys...it's scratched as fuck and moldy now lol Sinai Beach was fucking cool too.
Words cannot describe nor nearly justify/articulate what this song and band means to me. BTBAM defined my youth, created a spark to ignite my life's path, and created that preciousness one seeks in life that is worth living for. From my teens and now into my mid-30's, I listen to Silent Circus and Self-Titled like special occasions... like drinking a $1,000 bottle of scotch... once in a special while. Remarkable, astounding, absolutely harrowing... the complexity and spectrum of emotions I feel when I listen to Mordecai. It brings me back to my youth, and I can't help but feel sad yet grateful when I think of how far I've come in my adulthood. BTBAM will always be a part of me... from all the shows I frequented in Toronto and Ontario area, to all the times I made a nasty face bobbing back and forth listening to the nastiness; tearing and sobbing to the softness... BTBAM is the musical equivalent of life's journey. I am privileged and honored to have your creative genius as a defined attribute of my existence. Heart-felt thanks y'all. Carrot cake and conseestent grind forever.
Muse Scratch Thats just BTBAM live, they are one of the most solid live acts playing music today. Going to one of their shows and hearing just how phenomenally and precisely they actually play is awe inspiring...
I know you posted this 6 months ago but if you do see this check out the Glorious fall by a different breed of killer. Even for how good this ending was i think the Glorious fall was better
Listening to this just made me realize that between the buried and me used to be such a huge part of my life. Anybody here from Dallas Texas remember how they used to come through multiple times a year back in the 2005s? I heard Mordecai and wanted to see them live because the guitar solo and outro were just something Soo different musically for me at the time. Then when I saw them and heard aspirations I realized that wasn't just any band and that they were in fact something very unique and special. Their later releases were always pushing boundaries but they have always always done incredible things.
i remember seeing them multiple times that year in dallas, once was with the acacia strain i think at the gypsy tea room. when they played mordecai the place went crazy. great memory. funny how time slips away.
A complete stranger on the Internet in the early 2000's told me to check this song out after insulting my mainstream taste. IDK who you were sir but I'm happy you pointed me in this direction.
@@anthonyjones3835 i have had that dream for years. I want something like after the burial or impending doom to play at my funeral. I want everyone to have to sit there and listen to the whole song because it was my last wish. But i have pictured the reactions going exactly like that. People just looking at each other going “HELL no, how long is this song?”
I've been able to hear this song twice as their encore. Once in 2011 and again in 2015. I travel all over my home state of Texas because they usually hit at least one town on every tour. Been lucky enough to see them 8 times and will make it 9 in September. Words cannot express what their music means to me
kennypwers yea I did the meet and greet about a month ago with them. Super humble guys. Dan was the coolest, you could see how much he appreciates the fans. They all do but I felt Dan had a genuine interest in hearing how big of an influence their music has had on me
I remember in high school going to a Norma Jean Concert not knowing at the time who BTBAM were. BTBAM played right before them and totally stole the show. Amazing band with amazing music for sure.
""Forever I worship. I'll kill love and hate for all of you. Thank you for the best part of my life." I've spent years trying to find these lyrics. To the point that I hear them in my head.
Dillinger Escape plan did it first. Then came these guys. These guys are so good. We played a show with them in Cleveland. They are very cocky but they are totally allowed to be. Much respect.
"Forever i worship I'll kill, love, and hate for all of you Thank you for the best part of my life." , me and this song have been through so much , thank you between the buried and me for helping me through rough moments and making happy moments the most exciting of times
Mordecai [Day one] Asleep mid-sentence- the words fell apart. No one is listening anyway. This day will soon turn black and my "wants and needs" will spill on my burning ashes. I learned to be selfish today... I learned to be alive. These things I care for are for my personal gain and my person happiness only. Why should I sit in your chairs and satisfy your standards. I've done it all before and I've confused myself a thousand times. The tragic day that I call morality just doesn't do it for me anymore. The day will turn black and I will have either lived or died. Asleep mid-sentence- my words fall to the ground. Swept into this dreamland. Economic satisfaction, never succeed. But happiness has its place. Justice will not lie in your corner. [Day two] Throw myself in the corner; I have nothing to complain about here. A tragic day seems too peaceful to most, spoiled ambitious turned my heart to black. Living dreams, loving dreams, awakening to what I've always dreamt of. The familiar sound of the lovely laugh from the love of my life will keep the notes coming. From the reciting of the show, From the plip and the shevanel, From the grind that annoys, and the sarcasm, they all hate...
No, my best friend showed me this song when we were both on a 10 strip of LSD, it was one of the most amazing, emotional, beautiful, and intense things I had ever experienced. Now whenever I listen to this song it brings me back to that night, with all the same feelings and emotions attached, it's like i'm high on acid again. But yeah, start tearing up at the end almost every time I hear this now. This and when the sun sleeps intro by Underoath, beautiful.
This song is amazing. I had a dream of me meeting guy with a single rose in his hands but I couldnt see his face, this song playingin the background, but in the dream there were a lot of people around at the same time so it was hard to focus. A couple months later I transfered schools and I met my husband. My second month of school I saw him with a rose waiting for me on valentines day. He said he had the same dream but he saw my face. Just didnt know who I was until I saw him at a show.
This song is still not old. I love the whole album. Someone told this album sounded all the same. But if you really listen it is not. It's very orchestrated and planned out. From the singing to the brutal switches to the interludes the silent circus is a Nasterpiece. Yesss Nasterpiece!!
i love how everyone says blake plays it better and the fill and blasts are sloppy. im sitting here thinking "dude blake didnt even come into the picture till like 2 albums later." this is how its supposed to sound
Best BTBAM song ever. It's what got me into them. This will always be a classic. Wish they still did songs like this but I still love the later material.
36 going on 37..The first time I heard this song was 15 or 16.... Loved it then and still love it now, This song remains my favorite in the genre. I can't quite explain how important it is to me. You all know the feeling I'm sure. Absolute beautiful piece of music.
I used to hang out with this guy that learned this solo 10 years ago, claimed he wrote it and I swore he was metal Jesus for years before i found out this is where it came from. Good times.
The lyrics describes my Monday thru Friday working thru COVID and possibly seeing end to it by turning off the news and get back to living..

But happiness has its place. Justice will not lie in your corner. New day towards death Only compassion for my own needs Make my need necessary Throw myself in the corner I have nothing to complain about here.

12 years and not even 1m views! One of the most dynamically diverse pieces of metal. To somehow get from the psychotic, intricately unhinged brutality of the 1st section, to the sweeping and transcendent beauty of the 2nd (especially at 4:30 onwards) without it sounding like a mess...........damn. I remember I was a HUGE fan of SikTh when I found the Alaska album. I thought that as far as fusion of jazz and metal, that SikTh were the peak. I still think that SikTh (particularly Trees) were the best that Europe produced in the style, though
I will never forget this song. The first time i heard it was about a year ago when i was 19 and it was the same week i broke up with my girlfriend and every night i would get in my car and just blast the last three minutes of the song on repeat and now every time i listen to the song its kinda depressing but beautiful at the same time.
The end solo is my alarm on my phone. It's nice to wake up to a sound like that. Oh so very melodic. Also, they have grown so much musically from this album to Colors, The Great Misdirect and now Parallax 2. Kick ass band! \m/
Blew off my anniversary one year because these guys were playing in my city, and I couldn’t miss the show; it’s not like they come around every year, so I was weighing out my options. Needless to say, I’m no longer married to that woman. However, that show will live in my heart forever. 🤔😬
i remember this was on an old victory sampler i got at like...taste of chaos or something. i totally dug em. to this day this is one of the only bands from back then that i still really listen to. plus it's totally fuckin badass.
+thrashcase Man i remember those, the Victory samplers were great. Got the one with this song on it somewhere i was too wasted to remember, and then another one that came with my old Atreyu - The Curse album that had Alaska from BTBAM on it too; the samplers always had good stuff surprisingly.
I didn't get sent to high school, but I did get sent to my early childhood. My mom would have this band playing all the time and it's all very nostalgic to me
I remember going grocery shopping with my mom when I was in middle school (I'm 27 now!! So 2005) and making my mom listen to this and she loved the ending/2nd part so much! I haven't listened to this song in well over 10 years, hard to imagine... but it still is TRULY a beautiful piece of art!
Between the Buried and Me is progressive. Progressive as it gets, really. Have you ever listened to Colors? The Great Misdirect? I've never heard a deathcore band have bluegrass in any of their songs before.
deathly derkness SoaD is just invincibile. They'll NEVER be as technical as BTBAM or any other "Math" band, but the dynamism of their songs is simply incomparable. Yep, BTBAM can go from Death Metal to Mathcore to Jazz in a single song, but every SoaD song is full of details that are placed ad hoc to get the best out of the song's simple structure. Still no one dares to refer to SoaD as a Prog Metal band. Maybe because they're too mainstream lol
Just picking up my guitar after not playing for MONTHS and for some reason this is the song I chose to knock the rust off with. Woof, I forgot how damn emotional this song gets.

Wow…..this song is 18 years old and it’s still a masterpiece.
The end of this song always makes me cry.
yeaaaah in yo face
Your profile picture made me laugh.
Dude the character of your picture's name is Mordecai. Woah.. i just smoked weed so this blew my mind.
it's so amazing to have a band as heavy as they are that can make music that makes grown men cry
wife beater
From the reciting of our shows, from the Plip & the Shevanel, from the grind that annoys and the sarcasm they all hate.
Still listening in 2018.
My neighbors love this music so much they started drumming on the walls
My neighbours loved this song so _fucking_ much they called the police to come listen!
My neighbors loved this so much they moved away to go tell more people about it.
My neighbors loved this so much they started screaming through the wall like in the song.
My neighbor like this so much he downloaded shazzam and looked it up to comment a corny joke ab neighbors listening to your music.
My neighbours love this song so much that they threw a brick through my window so that the whole street could listen too
Imagine a re-recording of this album.

Mordecai
[Day one]
Asleep mid-sentence- the words fell apart.
No one is listening anyway.
This day will soon turn black and my "wants and needs" will spill on my burning ashes.
I learned to be selfish today...
I learned to be alive.
These things I care for are for my personal gain and my person happiness only.
Why should I sit in your chairs and satisfy your standards.
I've done it all before and I've confused myself a thousand times.
The tragic day that I call morality just doesn't do it for me anymore.
The day will turn black and I will have either lived or died.
Asleep mid-sentence- my words fall to the ground.
Swept into this dreamland.
Economic satisfaction, never succeed.
But happiness has its place.
Justice will not lie in your corner.
[Day two]
Throw myself in the corner; I have nothing to complain about here.
A tragic day seems too peaceful to most, spoiled ambitious turned my heart to black.
Living dreams, loving dreams, awakening to what I've always dreamt of.
The familiar sound of the lovely laugh from the love of my life will keep the notes coming.
From the reciting of the show,
From the plip and the shevanel,
From the grind that annoys, and the sarcasm, they all hate...

Why should I sit in your chairs and satisfy your standards.
I've done it all before and I've confused my self
A thousand times.
The tragic day that I call morality
Just doesn't do it for me anymore.
No more choices, just standing in the cold.
The day will turn black and I will have either lived or died.
Asleep mid-sentence- my words fall to the ground.
Swept into this dreamland.
Economic satisfaction, never succeed.
But happiness has its place.
Justice will not lie in your corner.
New day towards death
Only compassion for my own needs
Make my need necessary
Throw myself in the corner
I have nothing to complain about here.
A tragic day seems too peaceful to most,
Spoiled ambitions turned my heart to black.
Living dreams, loving dreams,
Awakening to what I've always dreamt of.
Living dreams, loving dreams,
Awakening to what I've always dreamt of.
The familiar sound, the familiar sound of
The lovely love from the love of my life
Will keep the notes coming.
From the reciting of the show,
From the plip and the shevanel,
From the grind that annoys,
And the sarcasm they all hate
Who else will forever listen to BTBAM?
Named my dog Mordecai. He was a 115lb blue pit bull. Best dog ever. Miss that guy
This album turns 15 this october.
Crazy,I remember when this was fairly new and was awaiting Alaska
Casey Leemon same
Damn I got old quick
12 years and not even 1m views!
One of the most dynamically diverse pieces of metal. To somehow get from the psychotic, intricately unhinged brutality of the 1st section, to the sweeping and transcendent beauty of the 2nd (especially at 4:30 onwards) without it sounding like a mess...........damn.
I remember I was a HUGE fan of SikTh when I found the Alaska album. I thought that as far as fusion of jazz and metal, that SikTh were the peak.
I still think that SikTh (particularly Trees) were the best that Europe produced in the style, though
I will never forget this song. The first time i heard it was about a year ago when i was 19 and it was the same week i broke up with my girlfriend and every night i would get in my car and just blast the last three minutes of the song on repeat and now every time i listen to the song its kinda depressing but beautiful at the same time.
This should at least have a million views, classic fucking song. This song got me into progressive metal back in the early 2000s.
03:55 to 04:16 is one of the best pieces ever written for alternative/rock music.
The end solo is my alarm on my phone. It's nice to wake up to a sound like that. Oh so very melodic.
Also, they have grown so much musically from this album to Colors, The Great Misdirect and now Parallax 2. Kick ass band! \m/
So beautiful....even after all these years. Stay strong.
Jesus this song is so hard. I can’t believe this is what I was listening to in high school. BTBAM is unmatched in this genre.
The ending off this song has been giving me goosebumps since I was about 13
It’s been so long. I’ve grown out of this music, but I always find myself coming back to this ending..
The last 3 minutes are so beautiful
The end of this song is pure beauty. I feel bad for anyone who can't appreciate it.
Blew off my anniversary one year because these guys were playing in my city, and I couldn’t miss the show; it’s not like they come around every year, so I was weighing out my options. Needless to say, I’m no longer married to that woman. However, that show will live in my heart forever. 🤔😬
i remember this was on an old victory sampler i got at like...taste of chaos or something. i totally dug em. to this day this is one of the only bands from back then that i still really listen to. plus it's totally fuckin badass.
That is EXACLTY where I heard it too. I got it free at a Soilwork concert I went to
+thrashcase Man i remember those, the Victory samplers were great. Got the one with this song on it somewhere i was too wasted to remember, and then another one that came with my old Atreyu - The Curse album that had Alaska from BTBAM on it too; the samplers always had good stuff surprisingly.
Yes! Same! Changed lives forever... 🤘🏼
I too, first heard this on a Victory Records sampler. This song changed the way I listen to music.
Duuuude i am 100% i have it too
Band's like this is what keeps music alive.
Ok but where is Rigby?
Loving Dreams to you from Finland. A long time fan
Any old guys/gals get sent back to high school?
Ral Val the first time I heard this song was in high school, it leaves me with such a nostalgic feeling every time I listen
I didn't get sent to high school, but I did get sent to my early childhood. My mom would have this band playing all the time and it's all very nostalgic to me
Middle school, dawg. Eighth grade punk rocker getting into combining the harsh vocals with a melody.
These guys have been creating magic since the year 2000. Let the good toons rooooooolllll
it breaks my heart seeing this song hasnt got 178 millions hits : (
That's because this song is for the cool kids only.
Still an amazing album. Haven’t listened to this in a over a decade and here we are
The ending.....
I’m glad I gave prog metal a listen! :)
I remember going grocery shopping with my mom when I was in middle school (I'm 27 now!! So 2005) and making my mom listen to this and she loved the ending/2nd part so much! I haven't listened to this song in well over 10 years, hard to imagine... but it still is TRULY a beautiful piece of art!
more people need to know these legends
The entire buildup towards the end solo is amazing.
Between the Buried and Me is progressive. Progressive as it gets, really. Have you ever listened to Colors? The Great Misdirect? I've never heard a deathcore band have bluegrass in any of their songs before.
I always wanted an entire album of these guys without the screaming. Just a chill album like the second half of this track
I bought this on release....things were so different...
It was a whole different world.
Soo happy they played this as the encore on the 10yr colors anniversary tour last night. I cried.
is this the most talented metal band of all time?
Of course they are!!!!
SOAD
Brain Welles yess
On par with Animals As Leaders. Wait, does AAL even make heavy music anymore?
deathly derkness SoaD is just invincibile. They'll NEVER be as technical as BTBAM or any other "Math" band, but the dynamism of their songs is simply incomparable. Yep, BTBAM can go from Death Metal to Mathcore to Jazz in a single song, but every SoaD song is full of details that are placed ad hoc to get the best out of the song's simple structure. Still no one dares to refer to SoaD as a Prog Metal band. Maybe because they're too mainstream lol
The softer section of the song is just pure beauty. Love this song
Just saw them for the colors 10th anniversary tour. They played this as their encore.
Tyler Duncan same! I'm only 14 and it was my first concert ever and the best one ever. Got the pleasure of seeing this amazing band yesterday
Ten years since that came out wow I am old.
Just picking up my guitar after not playing for MONTHS and for some reason this is the song I chose to knock the rust off with. Woof, I forgot how damn emotional this song gets.
Love this song 2019
Constant reminder of why BtBaM is my favourite band of All Time
2:15 straight up Opeth
good call
Huh? No...
+Jose Alvarado That's EXACTLY what i thought when i first heard this song. It especially sound like opeth ala Death Whispered a Lullaby at 2:28.
+xXDarkxIdealsXx amazing song
+Dane Horn Indeed :)
why don't we all just enjoy this awesome epic of a song? I miss the days when comments were actually about the band
tommy needs more singing, he has a awesome voice :)
I wasn't expecting this but im kinda...
_satisfied_
Thank you for the best part of my life.... you know who you are.
yes i do
EWW!
