The ethereal nature, combined with Courtney’s unbelievable control, and Mikes completely perfect guitar parts make this one of the most well written songs I have ever heard. It is literally flawless.
Can we please take a seond to appreciate how amazing the drums are for this song, not an easy one to cover, cant wven begin to explain how underrstimated they are!
Check out iwrestledabearonce if you're a fan of this drumming. This is technically Mike, their guitarist, but Mikey Montgomery from iwabo does consulting for all of this EP and the singles collection EP. Its pretty obvious when you listen to these EPs compared to their debut album. Great stuff!!!
This is my favorite track on the album for sure. I can see a track like this breaking through and hitting Alt-Radio stations, and a lot of playlists. I really hope Spiritbox takes off.
@@PleaseForgiveYourself yes they are on tour with Limp Bizkit rn and they sound killer live 😁 I'm just sad they're not coming to my city and I can't drive yet so I can't go to the nearest one either 😭
Courtney really, really kicked ass on this song. Some of the melodies in the chorus give me R&B vibes and even reminded me a bit of Sade. I read an interview about how she pushed herself to be comfortable with her own voice and whatnot and it really paid off. Excited to see what's next for Spiritbox. Amazing EP! It's been on repeat for me since the 27th.
Yeah, agreed. The track has it's fantastic moments, but I think it really would be a B side or pieced off into other tracks. Great, but not amazing, then Courtney comes in and really ties it takes it up a notch.
Yep, Courtney even said in an interview that she gets inspired a lot from rap and R&B when she writes her vocal melodies. And I like how everything she does blends with the rest of the instruments.
I got lost in this song, like literally melody wise. This is a masterpiece that is so expertly performed. And looking at some of their newer music in comparison with this, they are consistently spectacular.
I am a new fan, I Just wanted say I am blow away by the vocal range and siwithc between growls, screaming, and velvet etheral singing. Complete talent! I'm glad grrrrrls are back at the top in music after many years!!!! Continue to rock queen!
Just recently found this band in late 2020, digging everything about it BIG TIME. Holy Roller turned me on, now im digging all the tracks, especially the mara effect trilogy. Courtney has some of the best vocals💪👌🤟
This song on closed-ear headphones volume mostly up and eyes closed… it’s heaven… almost literally! I see all of them playing thru the grey of my eyelids layer by layer appreciating so naturally in the thick of this beautiful song pond. This is one of those songs that can start a playlist of top post-alternatives like thrice, architects, hundredth, northlane, tesseract, jinjer, as cities burn, movements, all together in such a great aesthetic of its own! Thank you spiritbox for your art 🙏🏻
Just know that when this song has 10 million views that i will be responsible for like at least a 1/4 of them, spiritbox 4ever circulating in me and my friends music
@@existentialhead8330 me too, I swear I listen to one song by them on Spotify and then stream all their songs because I just am in love with their music
Everyone compares her to chino moreno (deftones), but I hear so much schuylar croom (he is legend) And I love it. It's like that '91025' through 'suck out the poison' era HiL.
Not since first experiencing A Perfect Circle way back when have I felt the kind of shivers you guys made me feel. This is beauty in its most ethereal inexplicable and untouchable essence. Thank you so much for your music!
This is some of the most emotionally powerful music I've heard in a while. Just discovered this band a few weeks ago and I'm absolutely loving every second of it. Can't wait for the new material
I have been listening to you guys ever since this came out and I want you to know I love this ep it’s so so good absolutely beautiful can’t wait for all you guys will do
Sometimes I swear you can hear a bjork influence. At other times, tool. But overall, an amazingly unique sound with a quirky cute female lead. I can dig it.
This is one of my favorites! You kicked ass on all your songs, but especially on this track and 'blessed be'. It's just as it should be. Just found out about you guys a month ago and I am completely stunned. The singing is absolutely gorgeous and it comes together with the music as one perfect piece!!! You are definitely in my watchlist! Can't wait to see guys on your next stop in Germany! Hope this quarantine is over soon so we can get our heads bangin' again! Keep it up guys. 🤘🤘🤘
I've probably listened to this song 100 times this month. It's just fucking perfect. The time signature changes, the smooth clean vocals over chaotic riffing, etc. Just. Fucking. Sick.
When she sings "look over your shoulder", the tone reminds me so much of a He Is Legend song, or part of a HIL song, but I haven't been able to place it since I heard this! Not sure if I'm the only one who hears this.
This type of thing happens to me all the time and it drives me nuts until I can figure out out. I'd say its definitely gotta be on I Am Hollywood. I'll try to find it and I'll let you know if I find it. That's one of my favorite albums of all time.
🔥🔥 Show of hands who used to listen to lWABO and found this band. // I first listened to IWABO when I was in 6th grade. // Last couple of years had me busy with life and I forgot about IWABO but came across Spiritbox in the end of 2020. 🔥🔥
I've been listening to Spiritbox for 2 months and I love every single song. This one has such a powerful and beautiful chorus very much like Constance (another amazing song)
I think I've already listened more to this EP than all of the IWABO-stuff, really like this musical direction and really looking forward to a full album!
The day i discovered this band and especially this EP is and will be the best day of my life for a long time ahead. It just brings back the emotions i felt back then from listening to this masterpiece of an EP.
Lyrics: Teeth in crumbs like sand in my mouth four little fingers keep Pulling them out four little hands they keep pulling me pulling me Down I try to grin, I try to scream please say anything the Frequencies ringing it out where is love? Are you ordinary with me now meet me down in the mud I will call on You when there's nothing left to say soon the hour will come look Over your shoulder there's no need to run anymore I know I'm easily Affected her arms are like a serpent spinning me around can she see? Lights go out when there is nothing left to say soon the hour will Come look over your shoulder there's no need to run anymore mirror me I'm down here in the mud this is ordinary in my suffering, There's no cheaper thrill it's malevolent can't go unaffected oh sing To me something sweet, Threatening you cling to me blood of ophidian untell me help me I'm crippling you won't sacrifice my love meet me down in the mud.
Wish I could sit down with you guys and just listen to a session. Nice to hear such excellent music from a local group! Musician myself but nowhere near this level of talent :) Glad to hear you guys getting airtime on liquid metal and getting known out there!
Fuck me running... i love the sorrow im hearing with this release... really fitting my overall mood right now... lol... loving me some Courtney at the moment.. i need her in my life right now..
the chorus is literally perfect
Came here to say the exact same thing. Such a perfect chorus
Its seriously perfect. Sounds like something i had an ear worm of before i even knew it. Its literally literally perfect
I came directly from Brazil, where the songs here are of very poor quality and musical taste, to say that the chorus is literally perfect!
Gives our brain that nice itch that must me scratched
The ethereal nature, combined with Courtney’s unbelievable control, and Mikes completely perfect guitar parts make this one of the most well written songs I have ever heard. It is literally flawless.
I like Spiritbox. I think their music is great!
I just found them tonight through a Twitch stream, and I'm enjoying the music so far
Can we please take a seond to appreciate how amazing the drums are for this song, not an easy one to cover, cant wven begin to explain how underrstimated they are!

I completely agree! Amazing using use of polyrhythms
This is my favorite track on the album for sure. I can see a track like this breaking through and hitting Alt-Radio stations, and a lot of playlists. I really hope Spiritbox takes off.
Maybe. But it's not simple enough for the average person...its a bit too technical. I hate to say it, but it's true. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I would never say this about most bands but yeah, they deserve to be heard in mass!
To the moon
3 years later, here we are
This aged VERY well!
The chorus vocals definitely have a Deftones vibe. I'm digging this
man fck deftones
love this sort of ambient metal
Those ghost notes though
0:59 wooow what a transition
They're thinkers. No question about it. :)
This band has become one of my favorites. Literally up there with deftones and korn. That’s how legit spiritbox is. Everything is just perfect 🖤
These dudes are going to be huge! Mark my words!
Rahul Ramesh no doubt, they’re about to blow up.
They sure did become something!
@@PleaseForgiveYourself yes they are on tour with Limp Bizkit rn and they sound killer live 😁 I'm just sad they're not coming to my city and I can't drive yet so I can't go to the nearest one either 😭
Good call Ramesh, debut album blew up.
November 2023, they're around 2.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify... awesome to see them doing so well
Courtney really, really kicked ass on this song. Some of the melodies in the chorus give me R&B vibes and even reminded me a bit of Sade. I read an interview about how she pushed herself to be comfortable with her own voice and whatnot and it really paid off. Excited to see what's next for Spiritbox.

Best Mara Effect?
By far
I got lost in this song, like literally melody wise. This is a masterpiece that is so expertly performed. And looking at some of their newer music in comparison with this, they are consistently spectacular.
fr this EP is amazing
The riffs in this song tear my heart apart
the addictive chorus I want to hear it eternally :) 0:54 1:53
I am a new fan, I Just wanted say I am blow away by the vocal range and siwithc between growls, screaming, and velvet etheral singing. Complete talent! I'm glad grrrrrls are back at the top in music after many years!!!! Continue to rock queen!
The double peds in the chorus parts really hits something in me
God same
Weird how that works huh. Just the sound of double bass can bring out euphoria.
God, the chorus is so amazing on this one.
Just recently found this band in late 2020, digging everything about it BIG TIME.
Holy Roller turned me on, now im digging all the tracks, especially the mara effect trilogy.
Courtney has some of the best vocals💪👌🤟
Yeah this band is amazing. Have you ever listened to a group called Invent Animate?
Same. Now I'm addicted.
I'm new to the band as well and completely infatuated.
The fucking Chorus is Just beautiful.
Why do I get such a circa survive vibe from this? I love it
This song on closed-ear headphones volume mostly up and eyes closed… it’s heaven… almost literally!
I see all of them playing thru the grey of my eyelids layer by layer appreciating so naturally in the thick of this beautiful song pond.
This is one of those songs that can start a playlist of top post-alternatives like thrice, architects, hundredth, northlane, tesseract, jinjer, as cities burn, movements, all together in such a great aesthetic of its own!
Thank you spiritbox for your art 🙏🏻
Just know that when this song has 10 million views that i will be responsible for like at least a 1/4 of them, spiritbox 4ever circulating in me and my friends music
I will be responsible for another 1/4 of those views. I absolutely love this track.
@@existentialhead8330 me too, I swear I listen to one song by them on Spotify and then stream all their songs because I just am in love with their music
just when i was about to close the door on most of the metal scene.... such a beautiful relief
Always keep the door open :)
Keep your door open to all types of music. You’ll never know what you’ll find!
As if there was anywhere else to go as far as music goes. Doesnt get better than metal lol
Wtf son?! Metal for life
Keep coming back too this band. God they killing it
Everyone compares her to chino moreno (deftones), but I hear so much schuylar croom (he is legend)
And I love it.
It's like that '91025' through 'suck out the poison' era HiL.
I compare them more with early Circa Survive for some reason.
2:58 onwards got that Volumes groove that makes me wanna do my lil dancey dance
Not since first experiencing A Perfect Circle way back when have I felt the kind of shivers you guys made me feel. This is beauty in its most ethereal inexplicable and untouchable essence. Thank you so much for your music!
This is 10 months late but I can relate. You should also check out Silent Planet!
Yeah man, almost nothing hits the same way weak and powerless does. This shit was a breath of fresh air, especially live
Just keep doing your thing. It's definitely working
You're voice in this song is unreal
TheBraydon your*
it like saying You are voice lol. YOUR. YOUR. YOUR!!!
ruclips.net/video/tbkOZTSvrHs/видео.html
I will forever love you Martha 17 years was a long time
The basswork in all of Spiritbox's work reminds me so much of the best work of the Deftones. I love this band.
This song gives me a nostalgic feeling for some reason. Reminds me of bands from completely different genres while still being heavy and sick as hell.
It's rare to find a band that produces consistent masterpieces with almost every song. This is one of those times.
This is some of the most emotionally powerful music I've heard in a while. Just discovered this band a few weeks ago and I'm absolutely loving every second of it. Can't wait for the new material
This song is fantastic! The melody and is really addictive and the vocals are stunning!
Part 1 was great too :)
They're music is like fingerings running through the strands in my soul. Its just awesome.
Got here from IWABO stuff. And no regrets. Have had all three parts on repeat nonstop.
I have been listening to you guys ever since this came out and I want you to know I love this ep it’s so so good absolutely beautiful can’t wait for all you guys will do
incredible songwriting man wow
Favorite song off the EP.
God this is so good, can't get enough of this band
perfection. i am absolutely in love with Spiritbox. and i have been for like a year now.
Sometimes I swear you can hear a bjork influence. At other times, tool. But overall, an amazingly unique sound with a quirky cute female lead. I can dig it.
Good GOD!!! The drums in this are so crisp!!
I am so OBSESSED!!! I can’t get enough of you guys & Courtney your vocals are everythinggggg, love it! 🤘🏽❤️
That verse into chorus transition :D
🔥🔥🔥
This is one of my favorites! You kicked ass on all your songs, but especially on this track and 'blessed be'. It's just as it should be.
Just found out about you guys a month ago and I am completely stunned. The singing is absolutely gorgeous and it comes together with the music as one perfect piece!!!
You are definitely in my watchlist!
Can't wait to see guys on your next stop in Germany! Hope this quarantine is over soon so we can get our heads bangin' again! Keep it up guys. 🤘🤘🤘
I still pray that they play Perennial and TME Pt2 live!
Neil pert annoited that dam drummer( RIP )
I love how she can touch back to some IWABO roots while still sounding so evolved in her music.
A musicalidade dessa música é incrível. Toda vez eu choro quando ouço. ❤️🇧🇷 De tempos em tempos estou aqui pra aquecer o coração.
I've probably listened to this song 100 times this month. It's just fucking perfect. The time signature changes, the smooth clean vocals over chaotic riffing, etc. Just. Fucking. Sick.
This video makes me think of standing between 2 black holes or mirrors and definitely reminds me of old video equipment and analog TV. Love the music.
The mara effect the Caitlin clark effect lol
im freaking obsessed with this song rn
This drummer is very useful, and effective;
although he's very technical, does not override the rest of the band!
Everyone who says he isn't technical didn't listen to this song. Because that word has many meanings
I’m so glad I discovered this band. This song is giving me wicked chills down my spine! I will definitely be looking for shows to see them preform at.
When she sings "look over your shoulder", the tone reminds me so much of a He Is Legend song, or part of a HIL song, but I haven't been able to place it since I heard this! Not sure if I'm the only one who hears this.
This type of thing happens to me all the time and it drives me nuts until I can figure out out. I'd say its definitely gotta be on I Am Hollywood. I'll try to find it and I'll let you know if I find it.
That's one of my favorite albums of all time.
detecting a hint of Deftones in that chorus
It sounds more like the Altered State Era of Tesseract to me.
@@desmondharris1461 better than anything on that whole album (altered state) , even though i do like Tesseract.
Chorus is sooooo gooooood
Just the best combo of every instrument 😍😍👀
🔥🔥 Show of hands who used to listen to lWABO and found this band. // I first listened to IWABO when I was in 6th grade. // Last couple of years had me busy with life and I forgot about IWABO but came across Spiritbox in the end of 2020. 🔥🔥
I've been listening to Spiritbox for 2 months and I love every single song. This one has such a powerful and beautiful chorus very much like Constance (another amazing song)
This song woke me up. Very nice harmonies!
That Skyharbor meets Norma Jean vibe.
This is perfect.
I think I've already listened more to this EP than all of the IWABO-stuff, really like this musical direction and really looking forward to a full album!
Even Ruining it for Everybody?
It's like Ruining it for everybody but mature.
Iwabo had some gems in a lot of unnecessary chaos.... spiritbox is pretty much alllllll gems.
The day i discovered this band and especially this EP is and will be the best day of my life for a long time ahead.
It just brings back the emotions i felt back then from listening to this masterpiece of an EP.
Fave song off the album for sure. Love this band.
There are no words to describe how do I feel about this song!
Oh my god, 3:00 is a greatest beat from face that I’ve ever heard, and 3:14 is absolutely killing it again🥴🤤 you’re fantastic, guys🔥
Lyrics:
Teeth in crumbs like sand in my mouth four little fingers keep
Pulling them out four little hands they keep pulling me pulling me
Down I try to grin,
I try to scream please say anything the
Frequencies ringing it out where is love?
Are you ordinary with me now meet me down in the mud I will call on
You when there's nothing left to say soon the hour will come look
Over your shoulder there's no need to run anymore I know I'm easily
Affected her arms are like a serpent spinning me around can she see?
Lights go out when there is nothing left to say soon the hour will
Come look over your shoulder there's no need to run anymore mirror me
I'm down here in the mud this is ordinary in my suffering,
There's no cheaper thrill it's malevolent can't go unaffected oh sing
To me something sweet,
Threatening you cling to me blood of ophidian untell me help me
I'm crippling you won't sacrifice my love meet me down in the mud.
i absolutely love the vocals on this song its so entrancing
the melodies are next level!.. i lobe this group
This song is so beautifully heavy
This is probably my favorite song from you guys. It speaks to me the deepest and I can't appreciate it enough.
This is too good😭
Jesus Christ dude. This is so good.
Wish I could sit down with you guys and just listen to a session. Nice to hear such excellent music from a local group! Musician myself but nowhere near this level of talent :) Glad to hear you guys getting airtime on liquid metal and getting known out there!
I love these lyrics
Great great song! Beautiful voice ♥.
Holy shit. This is incredible
I love love love this band
This song just fucking hits on all fronts. So. Good.
Love the drums in this. When i go throughout my day this song plays in my head seriously!
Another fantastic song. No bad songs on this EP. Beautiful (clean) voice Courtney and nice vocal melodies.
I love all this album its so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys are ROCKING this old man.
The intro remind me alot of Misery Signal.
And this is ain't a bad thing.
i thought the same thing
Soooo GOOD...
The chorus in this song fucks hard
Damn this oddly gives me some Issues mixed with Dance Gavin Dance vibes
This song is absolutely perfect
omg I can't believe you guys are 5 years old now. It feels like you just released this EP yesterday
Fuck me running... i love the sorrow im hearing with this release... really fitting my overall mood right now... lol... loving me some Courtney at the moment.. i need her in my life right now..
I need all this on casette like Eternal Blue
Or on disc
THIS BANGS
That’s some spectacular drumming.
