@@jordanglass256 Pain Remains is a masterpiece and I think it's better when it comes to making the listener feel a certain way. This is nicer to listen to while doing something else though since you're not really getting the full Pain Remains experience if you don't have the music video and the lyrics up while you're listening to it.
Rest in peace, Bill Crook. I'll never forget your contribution to this band, and I'm sure they won't either. I can see them going above and beyond in your memory. Thank you for everything you've done, my guy.
It's almost 2024. This video has 780,000 views, I think it should have millions. I'll be back in a year to check if the planet caught up. If I'm alive. If I don't post in a year, I'm dead. (or I forgot)
It's crazy because right when I read your comment I looked to see where I was in the video and I saw I was 2 seconds away and I looked at the vid at the exact right time to see that beaming grin!
The exact same thing happened to me when I saw Michael's expression at that moment. Watching and listening to Spiritbox is enjoyable. They are great musicians and artists, it's evident that they feel and love their melodies and their lyrics. The atmospheres they create are unique, each one in his place does it perfectly. These are things that very few bands have and they are the ones that transcend and endure ... I love Spiritbox.
FUCKIN HELL.........if you guys read this let me just say this.....im a bloke from the UK I live a very simple life on a boat in the arse end of nowhere.........I like it like that as nobody bothers me ......I'm pushing the wrong end of 40 years old and grew up with the 80s and 90s rock ..........ive be looking for a few bands that can give you that feeling of lighting a spark of life inside you when you hear them.........Devin Townsend is one of those artists I've been into since the early 90s and have followed since then,he gave me that spark............But the other night I was sat on my boat watching the sun set .. I'd had a " home made cigarette " and things were chilled.......then the mara effect popped up on RUclips.........my heart jumped out of my chest .......I'd found my modern day Devin Townsend..........PERFECT LIFE MUSIC
The screaming, the reprise of the softer singing, then the tempo change on the drums, then the mouth-wide-open-singing in side-view with her swinging her arms, then the guitar solo - Part I is pure perfection from a musical, videographing and editing perspective.

Just to make it complete, after part 1 you'd like to see "10:16" with the lyrics: "How can I feel existential in my dread? It's my fear, I'm eternal And how can I feel existential in my dread? It's my fear, I'm eternal"
Happy 3 year anniversary (1 day late) to the best RUclips video/music video/composition of all time (imo). I’ve listened to this almost everyday for the past year or two. It blows me away every. single. time. There’s always something new to discover.
The intensity on that growl from 14:19 onwards is insane. The live versions always have something special and more unique compared to the studio recordings and for me that was it!
This is one of the most emotionally-charged pieces of music I've ever heard. The instrumentation is creative, complex and well-written. Vocalist is impressive as fuck. The atmosphere is dark and goosebump-inducing. Keep up the great work
Spiritbox has definitely taken metal music to another level ... it's amazing, beautiful, dark and poetic. Spiritbox doesn't have bad songs ... that's a fact.
Spiritbox is easily one of the most interesting bands out there right now. Courtney has an absolutely incredible voice. Also, you guys remind me a lot of Deftones ;) Keep doing what you're doing
@@leemurray4653 Me too man, I guess these 3 bands have a wide range of sounds in every single song. From smooth voice to total aggressive screams. I love those duality.
I don’t care how many years go by, I’m coming back to this forever, it’s literally the best live performance I have ever seen in my entire life. I love Spiritbox with my whole damn heart.
A 16 min song that I never wanted to end, So many things can be said about this, from the Tempo changes, the Vocals the drums and the guitars to the feelings that you get hearing this musicalgasm. This feels so unique can't believe I'm so late getting here.
This is by far the greatest band working today. Michael, you and Courtney work hard together and please don't break up. This band is too good to ever be split up
Just discovered you guys a few days ago. As someone with extreme depression and anxiety, I have felt more whole in these last days then over the past 10 years. Something about your music speaks to me. I absolutely love you guys lol. Please never stop making music! Love ya guys!
The world is full of shit and assholes, planet is dying, animals to, men and women are crazy for money at all costs...but sometimes, ART saves the game of existence. This performance is a masterpeace 💔. Thank you SPIRITBOX for delivering incredibly good music❤.
Goosebumps... this masterpiece is just something else. Challenging to name one favourit Spiritbox tune, but if I had to, I would say it's The Mara Effect Pt.3.
I never stopped watching this video, it really impacted my life, I saw it at a very difficult time and this video brought me something very good that helped me stay strong. After 2 years since I saw it for the first time, so much has changed and I've improved a lot!
I will never tire of the mara effect trilogy. all parts so beautiful and perfect in their own right and they form a gorgeous masterpiece when put together. huge fan of this band and especially this live version :) 🤘🏾
Okay, so hear me out. As someone who's been obsessed with this song (due to it's always helped me at lowest points of my life subconsciously), I've been trying to decode it, to be able to explain people why it's so genius. As Ukrainian, I've tried to do my research on Mara and her interpretations, guess what, interpretation of Mara is so vivid and usually defined by context. But what's common between all of them is sense of "inner femine strength to struggle through". By taking that point of view, you can feel and understand so much from every line in lyrics, every note played, every vocal trick used. It's like myriad of feelings and stories been carefully sawed together by very talented and creative group of people. It's truly sublime. I may be onto something or just being too nerdy, take it as you want.
Isn't it Mara coming from Marë as in night-mare? I've heard it described as referencing sleep paralysis hallucinations like the mara/mare (hag, succubus, etc) who variously chokes you or seduces you while you sleep. Is there another Mara you found?
I know i already reacted, but the "chorus" in pt.2 is one of my favourite parts out of any song in the last few years. Hits right in the feels, so good. Thank you!
Every once in a while..... there is a shift in the known universe.... The lucky few who witness this event, are blessed with artistic freedom to create with a passion that evokes a pure emotional response. Spiritbox is one of the Few. In my opinion. ;0)
Thanks so much for the support everyone!
ilu so much!
Any Dallas tx. Shows coming up?
Love you guys

Totally agree
Pain Remains trilogy by Lorna Shore is on par I think

Same here

@Richard Leo SAME! I love them all, But I like them 3, 2, 1. In that order. All great tho.
Same. Along with Perennial and Bleach Bath. Too good, too good.
that climax at the end is everything
That ending sends chills down my spine every time.
My favorite one also, But all three consecutively?! ahh yess!
if i had only 16 minutes left to live i would listen to this without doubt
I love this and will remember it when the time comes ❤
You'd miss the last 30 seconds 😢
This is still sick as fuck two years later
I see all those liking your comments are here, we see y'all!
Exactly!! I come back to it daily. I’m so happy I found this band a few years ago.
shame they'll probably never sound like this again though
@@SpaceTacoTV how come? (i agree tho)
@@SpaceTacoTV They are evolving to the better. Don't like it? Just listen to the older EPs.
The sheer power in that one scream at 14:28 is just ridiculous
I lived for her transition into the breakdown at 14:14 because she was hyping herself and all of us watching it. Like, "I'm about to smash this"
That's my favorite part of the entire thing
I get chills every single time! Favorite part of all of their songs! And that says a lot
i like the isolated vocal at 3.22 :-)
So is that a legit spirit box I hear making that static in the beginning? Because that’s fucking intense
She is by far my biggest musical crush right now, her range is amazing and those screams... Omg
You should check out Jinjer my dude.
@@Arcticunthis is the softer side of Courtney tho. If you want to hear her heavier vocals listen to iwrestledabearonce or unicron
@@seabrook6821 Or most of Spiritbox really
She’s been my musical crush since the Powerbomb EP
Haha I said the same shit when I heard this...
3:18...that belted "razor blade eyes" leading into mikes solo is so incredible
Ugh. All 3 of the mara songs give me chills. Thanks spotify. 👍
Great! Go listen to Perennial! Even better IMO.
Glad they included 10:33
That is love
@@s0urp0wer5 wouldn’t be complete without it
This is just like Tesseract's "Concealing Fate"... One cannot simply just listen to part 1. If I put it on, I gotta listen to all three.
Confessor Rahl or "Of Matter"

Great comparison. I love it when bands put out long, conceptual musical suites.

~* Lyrics *~
~*Part 1-
I am never truly alone
Acceptance is slipping in, gripping limbs
It's crooked fingers intertwine
They cradle us together
A hundred years alone could never make it stop
Push it back
I cannot fit
I cannot feel
They should not see, suspended in time
And their eyes are like razors the edges can sharpen the line
This is love
This is ordinary life
What a thrill stringing up splendid lights to paralyze
They burn to the touch
Pretending at God
Listen to the blood
Razor blade eyes
I want a Goddamn mess
To ignite the fire
I want to lie in severance
Leave me to cut my teeth
Pretending at God is a custom
The vessel to syphon my love from
Their eyes are a razor to cut me down, cut me down
This is love
This is love
This is ordinary life
What a thrill cheap enough to get caught on the edge this time
Razor blade eyes
This is love
This is love
Make it stop
This is love
This is love
Make it stop
Make it stop
This is love
This is love
Make it stop
This is love
This is love
This is love
This is love
This is love

teeth in crumbs like sand in my mouth four little fingers keep
pulling them out four little hands they keep pulling me pulling me

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 am a prisoner here weave the synthetic
when wrapping up my wrists I don't truly
dream when you're near loosen aesthetics
remain asphyxiated on the paint peeling
back from the door now I can see you for
what you are she drew the shape on the
floor now I can see the full spectrum how
can I feel existential dread, it's my fear I am
eternal hurt me with your mouth make me
settle down whispering the words on the
wind as they blow heartbeat in the nest,
pressure on my chest where did all the signs
of the dissonant go and when they tell me
they pray for me and they lack a
certain empathy the enemy hits me so low so the
circles on the ground make me settle down
hurt me, give me something from nothing
this is the lie that you come from meet me
down in the mud she is the mother and she
loves it when we all hurt each other proud that her children are weak
I am a language that you have hidden in a syllable and now you're
refusing to speak I don't even cry anymore hurt me with your mouth
make me settle down whispering the words on the wind as they blow
heartbeat in the nest,
pressure on my chest where did all the signs of the dissonant go and

rest in peace bill ❤ such an amazing artist. this band wouldn’t be the same without you
This is like finding Good tiger, the contortionist , or northlane again for the first time, you just know when a band is really special
May I suggest a band called sleep token
Couldn’t agree more, especially with Northlane!
Bro The Contortionist is still one of my favorite finds. Michael can hella sing
That transition at 2:45 is phenominal. Being able to move from screaming to a growl to singing with no time between them... dang.
Courtney truly is a goddess
I'm into this content a lot, thanks for creating it. Very tight.
Q: How does it feel to listen to Spiritbox?
A: 13:13
@@imnotjohn45 In a nutshell.
I can't believe I've already listened to this masterpiece over 417.000 times.
I'm close. It often comes up on my morning youtube mix...like I can't have my coffee without Spiritbox lol
I would pay so much money to see you guys on tour with Northlane, Plini, and Tesseract. Please keep up the amazing work!
That would be Sick ! \m/
what a sick line-up. but change northlane with architects and i am totally with you :)))
Add Periphery and Jinjer and we're good to go
How about Jinjer, Volumes, Periphery, Northlane and Polyphia omgg
Adam McCann why is Jinjer in there? Not even the same crowd...
Spiritbox is easily one of the most interesting bands out there right now. Courtney has an absolutely incredible voice. Also, you guys remind me a lot of Deftones ;) Keep doing what you're doing
So im not the only one 😉
What about jinjer
Jinjer and Deftones was also my first feeling, but of course this is great stuff independently.
Funny. My all-time top 3 favorite bands are Jinjer, Spiritbox, and Deftones... no foolin'.

Still the best trilogy ever
yep, im still listening.
I post this at least once a year, touted.. "best live performance on RUclips." fight me! ❤️
I don’t care how many years go by, I’m coming back to this forever, it’s literally the best live performance I have ever seen in my entire life. I love Spiritbox with my whole damn heart.
Part two chorus actually gave me multiple chills that rarely happens for me
3:20 always brings tears to my eyes, nj. Can't wait to experience it live and have a heart attack.
Quite possibly my favourite thing Courtney has sung/written to date, it's so powerful
It gives me the same chills I get from the female vocalist in Knife Party by Deftones. The same emotion and intensity are in both
Was about to say that. Gives me chills
A 16 min song that I never wanted to end, So many things can be said about this, from the Tempo changes, the Vocals the drums and the guitars to the feelings that you get hearing this musicalgasm. This feels so unique can't believe I'm so late getting here.
I’ve watched this at least once per day for the past month and it gets better every time.
You're my spirit animal
My favourite video of all videos of all time
i honestly dont think someone could say they dont like metal after watching this.
I can't get over that scream...and then the transition straight into clean singing at 2:57. Goosebumps.
I could listen to this all day and never get tired of it. Thank you Spiritbox for such a masterpiece!
I once listen to the Mara effect prob 40 times in a row lol
This is up there with TOOL's "Holy Trinity" of Disposition-Reflection-Triad. Absolutely incredible!
what a gift this was, absolutely beautiful performance.
Holy fuck, hearing all 3 parts together is wonderful. Fucking love you Spiritbox
the guitar tone is so insane compared to the album
I listen to this easily 2-3 times a day. What a masterpiece.
Ryan crushed this. Sounds / looks so good. Slaps.
that first "punish me" at 14:04 gives me chills every single time. so full of raw emotion 🤘🏾🤯
Can’t believe I barely came across this dope band. Thank you RUclips for recommending Constance. What a talent
They truly are a great group of artists. Such a shame groups like this don't get more attention.
This is by far the greatest band working today. Michael, you and Courtney work hard together and please don't break up. This band is too good to ever be split up
Just discovered you guys a few days ago. As someone with extreme depression and anxiety, I have felt more whole in these last days then over the past 10 years. Something about your music speaks to me. I absolutely love you guys lol. Please never stop making music! Love ya guys!
Part 2 just changed my whole music life. Wow
Absolutely in love with Mike at 9:23 👀👀
Beautiful track, RIP Bill!
I watch this video at least once a day for the past 2 years 🥴
My skin crawls every time I listen to this
Mara Effect 2 is so under-rated. Definitely my favorite of the 3 :)
Mine too :)
Same. The transition into the chorus is so incredible
Melodic, heavy and poignantly purposeful. Nicely done, much appreciated from here in London!
Fuuuuuuck yes so amazing! Can't wait for you guys to get on a U.S tour.
World tour especially Canada 🇨🇦!
Haven't been this hyped about a band since Oathbreaker
Hope you listen to Sleep Token as well

Thank you!! You can download all the guitar tones from the link in the description! :)
Spiritbox Official We don’t deserve you Mikey 😂♥️
Agreed! Any chance you could share the tuning? Dying to learn this!
Northlane, Spiritbox & Thornhill the perfect tour!!!
That vocal talent at 3:18 is simply enchanting
Can’t even count how many times I’ve watched this lol.
14:17 Goosebumps every time!
Courtney's emotional delivery is easy on my tears , she's one of the most deep people out there singing.
Morning coffee, check. Spiritbox, check. Start the day. Thank you.
This is fantastic. Thankyou for leaving the Vox natural.
The fact that this band hasn't blown up yet is a travesty. Great job SB, everything you guys make is straight fire.
I speak from the future from this perspective, which is now the present. They blew up, and are touring with Ghost and Mastadon as of now.
part 3 is remarkable.
Every once in a while..... there is a shift in the known universe.... The lucky few who witness this event, are blessed with artistic freedom to create with a passion that evokes a pure emotional response. Spiritbox is one of the Few. In my opinion. ;0)
Well put. [At least to those of us who understand what you're saying.] SB is music for musicians and artists. Cheers.
Pt 2 is the best
I've never been so happy for IWABO to become a thing of the past. ❤️
