This song walked with me through eight long years of incarceration. I never skipped it when it shuffled in on my prison-issued mp3 player. It always calmed me and helped me recall the people who love me, the whole reason I was dragging myself through it day after day.
Their songs always make me think of a band of gnomes travelling through a forest, gathering people as they go and playing delightful music. In the best way.
This song takes me away. Wherever I am, no matter what mood I'm in, or what kind of day I've had,this song sweeps me off my feet and takes me into a world without words, just happy, peaceful, nothingness.
Wow. I had no idea Darren's brother was in this. I discovered their music while wandering around Fashion's Night Out, happening upon their unbelievable music in a store and wound up staying for what felt like hours. I also ran into my cousin's girlfriend, and found out her sister is marrying the drummer. Not only can I say that I love their music but when she introduced me to them they were so incredibly nice and talented and humble. Simply an amazing band, with amazing music. Enough said.
I heard this band mentioned on a question and answer series on RUclips. I thought I'd come check it out. Now I have downloaded at least 8 of their songs. I didn't know what Chuck was Darren's brother for ages. I love both for different reasons and both are so amazingly talented and brilliant. How lucky their patents must be.
@hottypiollina oo you suggested sia which means the other two will already be amazing in my book. thank you very much. new music is always a good thing.
Idk I think its interesting to see how people heard of certain artists. I found out about them from an unlikely band- Basement in their documentary Basement and America. I personally think its interesting that a band like them led me HERE. and now I can fully enjoy Freelance Whales with the rest of you.
@AceAndThings I actually tried to look that up, but I would have to become a member to use the search bar. I believe you, of course, and I prefer your interpretation over mine. Thanks!
"the reason my molars are so broken is, i spend too much time ghosting with the likes of you and yours. the reason my insides are so swollen is, i spend too much time ghosting with the likes of you and yours..."
I feel like an idiot for just discovering this. These people. This music. I only discovered it because Darren Criss told Ellen his brother in this (and fangirl me went "OOOHHH AAHHH :D"), and I feel like an IDIOT because they're bloody AMAZING.
im gonna look bck at this song and itz gonna remind me of being a teenager...just hanging out in my room...walking to skool...laughing with friends...and having a crush on Mr.Perfect:):)
"But, yes, the record is also about this pre-adolescent love story between a young boy and this ghost that occupies his house. ‘Ghosting’, for instance, is about him observing what she does around the house and he is sort of thinking that some day when he passes on he will have to take responsibility for her, so he’s kind of trying to emulate her."
i dont normally buy music... im a BIG lady gaga fan and i ashamedly admit i didnt buy her albums :x (i went to her concert and brought heaps of merch dw :P) But for this band... WOW they are amazing. buying off itunes. IMMEDIATELY.
@hottypiollina That is very true.... I love most Indie bands... And I love the fact that some people try and compare music to me, and I can introduce them to New, Wonderful Bands they other wise may never hear.... Then again sometimes, I'm kinda selfish and save my favorites for just me, or REALLY good friends, I know will love the music..... And not just say they do because it's "Cool"
@wishesoutofairplanes I have some more.... Neon Hitch... She does some covers, But I love her voice... The Postal Service, Natasha Bedingfield... Kerli... Not the same Genre,But I love her. Off with her head... It is a local band here in North Texas, But It is SIMPLY Beautiful....
Do you ever play with kids in the basement Soot upon your face so you were a hot mess All your little molars cracked in the pressure Come here little sister, let's get you to bed But oh you caught me sleeping in the power sockets You caught me mildew in the tiles of the bathroom And oh you shot a glance like I was doing okay Oh I am never on my way Do you ever run with him in the morning Think about jumping over the back fence Seven different places need a bitter mending All we use are eyes to fill in most the gaps But oh you caught me sleeping in the power sockets You caught me mildew in the tiles of the bathroom And oh you shot a glance like I was doing okay Oh I am never on my way The reasons my molars are so broken Is I spend too much time ghosting With the likes of you and yours The reasons my insides are swollen Is I spend too much time ghosting With the likes of you and yours
@darrencrissisHOT EXACTLY... I mean. I want people to know of their Awesomeness, but I do enjoy having "Secret Music" Just for me and a rainy day..... lol I completley understand what you are saying..... I feel the Exact same way about Freelance Whales.... :)
@MoistCrayon you're amazing! it's gonna be awhile til i can take the time to look through all of your suggestions. i have 6 finals in the next two weeks.....
@wishesoutofairplanes Freelance Whales... Jack Johnson, Jeremy Kay. Mumford and Sons... Joshua Radin... And Thanks, It's my Xbox Live Gamer tag... lol And There is a website called Music -map. com... I use it to find similar Artist all the time.... :) And I ADORE Priscilla Ahn... She sounds like an Angel/

Time passes. The feeling remains.
True that ma’am
i remember listening to this song in 2012, still reminds me of my days in arakansas, good times they were, ill always miss you julie :')
Their songs always make me think of a band of gnomes travelling through a forest, gathering people as they go and playing delightful music. In the best way.
Nearly 10 years later goddamn
RIP Chuck, what an amazing time ive had enjoying this song over the years. Thank you
This song takes me away. Wherever I am, no matter what mood I'm in, or what kind of day I've had,this song sweeps me off my feet and takes me into a world without words, just happy, peaceful, nothingness.
There´s a terribly sad feeling in this song...
10 years later. Wow. Still so incredibly good.
Those first 20 seconds have broken my heart
Wow. I had no idea Darren's brother was in this. I discovered their music while wandering around Fashion's Night Out, happening upon their unbelievable music in a store and wound up staying for what felt like hours. I also ran into my cousin's girlfriend, and found out her sister is marrying the drummer.

this song just makes me feel okay and my worries fly away for a couple minutes
this song is so incredibly beautiful. its the only song i know that can repeat the same thing over and over and never get old.
FREELANCE WHALES thank you heaven and angels for letting me discover this awesome band! LOve LOve Love!

My favorite song to listen to on amazing headphones
I remember seeing them perform this live. It was so beautiful. I didn't even know about them then.

I was listening to Lucius (a band) on soundcloud and they brought me here. Both bands are pure awesomness.

it is possible LOL
Yep, Lucius' was just a cover, but it was so good
Lucius just recorded & released this song and that’s what brought me here!
I can't believe I even let myself forget how flawless freelance whales are.

How much I've been missing.. I'm glad I found this band
it's amazing how their musc actually flows in the rythm that a whale swims, it's so /graceful/
this is my favorite song as of now. and probably for a while.
I heard this band mentioned on a question and answer series on RUclips. I thought I'd come check it out. Now I have downloaded at least 8 of their songs. I didn't know what Chuck was Darren's brother for ages. I love both for different reasons and both are so amazingly talented and brilliant. How lucky their patents must be.
People should take notes from this on how to make beautiful music.
So glad Grooveshark had Freelance Whales backgrounds that led me to their awesomeness over a year ago...
Favourite song by them...

Love the voice of Judah the mayority of his song transport to a completely different place

@Saubey I was thinking something VERY similar.... This band is my ADDICTION now.... I utterly Love them.

i'm here because i was looking at my favourite bieber, one direction videos and this mainstream band came up on adds...

@awsomellyawsome oh really? wow, that makes everything sooo much more clear. Thank you for that amazing piece of information.
This song helps me think less. Thanks for the escape Freelance Whales.
Idk I think its interesting to see how people heard of certain artists. I found out about them from an unlikely band- Basement in their documentary Basement and America.

This is an incredible, overlooked album....
Dogmo Satchmo indeed

It's peaceful & serene songs like this that made me completely ditch screamo.
I think that's a good thing.
Thanks Jenks!

Great song very mellow

@AceAndThings I actually tried to look that up, but I would have to become a member to use the search bar. I believe you, of course, and I prefer your interpretation over mine. Thanks!
This is awesome.
"the reason my molars are so broken is, i spend too much time ghosting with the likes of you and yours. the reason my insides are so swollen is, i spend too much time ghosting with the likes of you and yours..."

@adamazingsauce Chuck Criss, brother of a recently popular Darren Criss. he sent me here, and I'm glad I came =)
looooove this
Absolutely awesome
I feel like an idiot for just discovering this. These people. This music. I only discovered it because Darren Criss told Ellen his brother in this (and fangirl me went "OOOHHH AAHHH :D"), and I feel like an IDIOT because they're bloody AMAZING.
Still entrancing.
im gonna look bck at this song and itz gonna remind me of being a teenager...just hanging out in my room...walking to skool...laughing with friends...and having a crush on Mr.Perfect:):)

Reminds me of Death Cab for Cutie
Excellent.
my new favorite band fo'realz :D
Do you ever play with kids in the basement
Soot upon your face so you were a hot mess
All your little molars cracked in the pressure
Come here little sister, let's get you to bed
But oh you caught me sleeping in the power sockets
You caught me mildew in the tiles of the bathroom
And oh you shot a glance like I was doing okay
Oh I am never on my way
Do you ever run with him in the morning
Think about jumping over the back fence
Seven different places need a bitter mending
All we use are eyes to fill in most the gaps
But oh you caught me sleeping in the power sockets
You caught me mildew in the tiles of the bathroom
And oh you shot a glance like I was doing okay
Oh I am never on my way
The reasons my molars are so broken
Is I spend too much time ghosting
With the likes of you and yours
The reasons my insides are swollen
Is I spend too much time ghosting
With the likes of you and yours
Can't believe it's been 10 years
BASEMENT!
attic
I like songs that remove you from the world and bring you to that place that only you can go to.
This is a lullaby.
@MuDkIpZBIP I love it when music does that. It happens to me too.
Yes! So good. They're playing for free at my local record store soon! Yipee!!!
*Cries thinking how insanely in love he is.*
@TheOzzMan22 i kno the feeling. showing people music is the best. you feel like you own the band and everyone you showed only shares the band haha.
damn, that whamming guitar i good^^
@darrencrissisHOT EXACTLY... I mean. I want people to know of their Awesomeness, but I do enjoy having "Secret Music" Just for me and a rainy day..... lol
I completley understand what you are saying..... I feel the Exact same way about Freelance Whales.... :)
@FruitLoopErika HAHA, I feel the exact same way! But I actually heard Darren Criss mention one of their songs in an interview! I'm obsessed now(:
@MoistCrayon you're amazing! it's gonna be awhile til i can take the time to look through all of your suggestions. i have 6 finals in the next two weeks.....
Slightly reminds me of MGMT... love it :D
@wishesoutofairplanes you can try listening to " the antlers" "the weepies" "sia".... good luck

RIP Chuck

Why is this not on Apple music!!!
@mollrox531 We would have to pay money to view the videos, if Vevo and the advertisements didn't step in. Be thankful RUclips is still free.
aaaah bliss.... :)
Well Put My Friend
@SendMeBelow22 Ghosting is a term for when someone is smoking and they hold it in long enough no smoke goes out.
Seeing Bright Eyes on the sidebar must be a sign of whatill be doing for the next few hours, bye everybody!
@HateHector There will always be haters. Just ignore them when possible. Unless it would be really, really fun to go after them.
