the bit with the guy with the bag over his head at the airport was the single most powerful thing i've witnessed all year. that is exactly what having a panic attack in public is like but nobody can see it.
What have the artists said about the song? Sorority Noise vocalist/guitarist Cam Boucher shared: This song is about having a friend pass away and still keeping them fondly in your mind to the point where you show up to their house forgetting that they’re no longer there. It’s about struggling to keep up with the people you love when you’re away and how to be/how it feels to not be there for them when they need you most.
I agree. Also probably helps that this song has the same chord progression as "the quiet things no one ever knows" by brand new. Helps to give off that vibe that brand new has/had. Sorority noise put out the album of the year in my opinion.
I don't know anything about music from a technical standpoint, but Quiet Things is my favorite Brand New song and No Halo is one of my current favorites, I'm sure it's no coincidence.
I just realized the lady driving circles in the parking lot is the same lady who killed herself with carbon monoxide. Such a sad video. But such a well delivered message. Well done Sorority Noise, I cannot stop crying
LYRICS: This last week I slept 8 hours total, I barely sleep Maybe that's why I've been weak The same things that plague you still plaguing me God called you to fulfill a vacancy I tried to see why it wasn't me So I didn't show up to your funeral But I showed up to your house And I didn't move a muscle I was quiet as a mouse And I swore I saw you in there But I was looking at myself I'm placing bets against myself And honestly I'm a mess With the car engulfed in flames I am a wreck Things I should have said through call or text Just really been so busy and I regret Cause if there's no rest for the wicked I'm as evil as it gets Thing I should have said So I didn't show up to your funeral But I showed up to your house And I didn't move a muscle I was quiet as a mouse And I swore I saw you in there But I was looking at myself So when you show up to my funeral Will you be wearing white or black And I know the voice is in you It's the energy I lack So if there's a race to heaven I will surely come in last And if there's a race to heaven I will always come in last
I actually make it a point to walk past my old friends' houses that i lost touch with so that maybe one day they'll be sitting on their stoop or coming out the door and they'll notice me walking by and we'll get to talking and become friends again but I'll never directly reach out because who knows if they even want me around anymore, I mean I figure that's why we stopped talking in the first place but who knows
Reach out, if its one thing I learned the last year is everyone gets busy, when your free never lines up and you just end up drifting to people who have the same hours free as you do. Some of the best times to be had can come from catching up with a old freind.
You know... There is nothing to lose if you reach out. If they don't want you it will automatically drift away, but if it's meant to last you might regret not taking that chance. So reach out.
no one ever talks about how many people die around you in your 20s. Ive lost 3 friends so far. and far more family members. it's a sobering moment when you stop and think about it.
Lance Haggard I’m right there with you man, I’ve lost three friends over the past couple years and currently loosing my grandparents. It hurts beyond belief to think about the potential and life that was lost when someone passes at a young age.
My friend took his life about 3 years ago this time of year. Still wicked tough. I thought I made peace with it until recently. This winter has been a different beast. This song hits a little too close to home. Such a good song, cheers guys
this is now the 2nd video of his work that I've really enjoyed, After The Party by The Menzingers is my favorite video that came out this year and now I have a #2 with this one, Kyle has a lot of talent, he knows how to make a music video.
This last week I slept 8 hours total, I barely sleep Maybe that's why I've been weak The same things that plague you still plaguing me God called you to fulfill a vacancy I tried to see why it wasn't me So I didn't show up to your funeral But I showed up to your house And I didn't move a muscle I was quiet as a mouse And I swore I saw you in there But I was looking at myself I'm placing bets against myself And honestly I'm a mess With the car engulfed in flames I am a wreck Things I should have said through call or text I've just really been so busy and I regret Cause if there's no rest for the wicked I'm as evil as it gets So I didn't show up to your funeral But I showed up to your house And I didn't move a muscle I was quiet as a mouse And I swore I saw you in there But I was looking at myself So when you show up to my funeral Will you be wearing white or black? And I know the force is in you It's the energy I lack So if there's a race to heaven I will surely come in last And if there's a race to heaven I will always come in last
Stopped listening to this type of music years ago, but there's something about the combination of the song and imagery that's insanely powerful, and I can't stop watching.
@@GoodfellasX21 yo sometimes you can't jam this hell it's hard for me to listen to this because of my mental state and what I would do to myself you don't have to be so mean just because they stop listening to it
I love how the vocals for this song have both a quieter, more normal speaking track and a harsher, more emotional track. It shows how people dealing with grief can seem fine on the outside, but on the jnside, they're screaming. I just lost my Dad last month and this song is helping me deal with it, knowing I'm not alone in my grief.
@@belafontelife9781 some things needed to be shouted out to the ether. I miss my buddy, sorry if that bothered you. He was a great dude and sorely missed.
For some reason the first 2 times I saw this video it didn't really hit me, and then the third time I watched it I just started openly weeping in my cubicle at work.
That’s a rough place to be I decided to be sober for 8 months and it’s the hardest things I’ve ever done. That release is a beautiful feeling but take pride in the fact you decided to take that step. If nothing else I believe in you friend. It’s a process you can do it!
@@rogermendez7266 back into rehab to get off the methadone they put me on when I first commented here. I'll go away. I'll leave this city. Fuck it all. I will be healthy and I will rule my life.
I wanted to kill myself so bad months ago. Worse period in my life and I had so much friends and family calling me everyday cause they could just feel how close to the end I was. I wasn’t even thinking of how it would effect my 8 year old son I just wanted it all to stop. I heard this song and watched this video during that time and everything about it resonated every single thing I was feeling and it made me realize I’m not the only person that’s ever felt this way and people make it through this. This was the day before I was gonna sit in my car in the garage and leave it running. Now I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I got with the love of my life, got a new house, a new dog. I can’t imagine if I had missed out on the life I’m living on this day. Thank you so much.
I just wanna say, years later after my freshman year of highschool... I was really depressed and suicidal. Id have times where i almost died by ending my life and that shit wasn't fun. Sorority noise helped me through it all and id remember playing this song at 5 to 6 am in the morning before my zero hour and itd be dark af outside and just that atmosphere with this song playing was almost haunting, a feeling ill never forget. Thank you Cam and sorority noise, in a way... You guys kinda saved my life
I found this song a few years ago and it would always make me cry every time I listened to it. No real reason other than the general sadness/message of the song. My mom passed away just this last February and now this song makes me cry even more. Cause it pulls out that sadness I have for the loss of her. I find great emotional release with this song, it’s therapeutic. Thank you Sorority Noise for helping me release the emotions I’d otherwise suppress. Music is healing.
I have an interpretation of this that I think fits well: basically, all the little vignettes of the people show what they feel on the inside, but in the video they express it on the outside. This goes for Cam too. He sees the bodies in body bags because his mind is on his dead friends. Interesting concept but I think it works. And the reason why the people don't react like in 0:44 and 1:50 is because these are internal emotions. Only we, the audience, and the character expressing it can see the emotions. Deep shit. And I could be totally wrong but this makes sense to me.
clockWorks10 I have a similar interpretation, but divide the vignettes into 3 categories; how we express inwardly, outwardly, and how we wish we could express outwardly but for whatever reason don't. Most of them can fall in multiple categories.
This has to be one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. It depicts the absence of someone and their death so beautifully. I feel like this song is one that will stick with me forever. It makes me think of my family and how short life really is.
Hope that coma didn’t do too much damage to her in the long term, my older brother lost his ability to control his right leg for the most part 5 years ago but he made it and we laugh about it now
I discovered this song right after I learned about my friend Trevor passing. I just saw him last week. I felt like I heard this song for a reason. And this video describes the affect of the situation in such an amazing way. Rest In Peace Trevor
I've been struggling with suicide since I was 10 years old, I'm 25 now and it still hasn't left me, I doubt it ever will. I just don't speak about it with my loved ones anymore, I get tired of them worrying. I went down a rabbit hole of old songs from "15 year old me" tonight and I found this one, for the first time. I've never heard of this band either. There was a specific part of this song that made me bust out in tears. I remembered why I stopped listening to this kind of music, but at the same time it feels good to let it out of my system for once. This song is a piece of art and evokes strong emotions.
I used to watch and listen to this on repeat when I was going through some serious heartbreak. I thought she was the one and I would never ever recover. I thought she was my soulmate. Someone I had always yearned for. She wasn't. This song helped me to grieve so much. And now I'm fine. Took a while to forget her, but it worked. Gtfo, meet new people, make new friends, ideally change your whole environment lol love you
As i've watched this music video more and more I think I've been able to pin point what sets it apart from others. 1. The complete lack of the person that committed suicide 2. What I interpret as the contrast between how we act outwardly, inwardly, and how we wish we could react outwardly.
Never saw them, in the bar right now, I listen to this song every once in a while since I had a break down crying to it in the Denver airport on my birthday. I live in jersey, so the alienation was peak
You could write a fucking thesis on the meaning and symbolism in each one of these shots. I've watched it a good five times and am still trying to decode some of the imagery.
I know im not the op but I’d also like to share my thoughts and hear yours, as this is an amazing video. Okay, let’s start: Beginning: We see 4 sinks being overflown with water and it’s pretty obvious that it’s a metaphor for having all these emotions that are dwelling inside you *The lonely girl in the car* : She appears about 2 times, we see that she is in a moving car, but she is not driving it. This symbolises how her life may be just folding itself out and she feels like there is nothing she can do to control it. At first, I actually didn’t notice that she was on the wrong side! *Two guys in front of a “the joy of loving“ sign, and possibly in front of a church* : They are sitting quietly at the beginning of the video but begin fighting and rolling later on. This one, I don’t understand. …. Edit: they are shown also to be sitting in front of a house, which leads me to believe that they lost their childhood friend and are dealing with this loss with anger. …Edit 2: much later on there is a scene of a guy riding a bike in a suit and then four people stand in front of a house. With the lyrics “I didn’t show up to you funeral/ but I showed up to your house“ meaning that sometimes people will forget about their loved one being dead and come to her/his house to visit her/him. It’s really sad, I can’t imagine how horrific it must be to lose a childhood friend *The guy jumps and it looks like he jumped into his death* : Nothing more to add here *Lady driving around and screaming in her car* : She is shown later on to be in the same car, but filled with smoke. It may represent the grief and anger that she’s feeling, before ending her life. This one makes me really sad, for some reason. *Group of people* : It seems to be some sort of AA meeting, I think that the dancing guy symbolises how they are all feeling inside, but only showing this poker face in real life. The guy dances freely but it does have a hint of sadness in it. Letting go of your demons is hard. *Lady sitting on a hospital bed* : Getting news of a sickness is incredibly sad. This one scene speaks so much. … Edit: she is later in a field full of horses. This could also be just her happy place in head or a fantasy of sorts. *Lady surrounded by coffins* : She must be buying one for a loved one. *Two lovers(?) in a hotel room* : I don’t fully get this one, but it could be that they finally got over some kind of border that stopped them from being together. Maybe one’s spouse died so they decided to finally admit love to each other? I have no idea. *Lady reading the Bible in a church* : She might be looking for answers in God, but is not able to find them The part where the band plays: I don’t understand this one either, but they are all dressed in black. *Person running* : He later on swims into the lake, submerging himself. It may represent people running away from their problems straight into death. *The girl in the parking lot* : She is trembling and surrounded by smoke. I see it as being so full of grief that your body physically reacts. *Angry guy in a bar* : Being aggressive is also one of the stages of grief *School girls in a room* : The girl in the mirror is visibly uninterested. I love how she is shown trough the mirror as to tell us that this is just a reflection of who she is, that her real self is completely different. The girls are also drinking, showing us that maybe the mirror girl is under some kind of peer pressure. *Man laying down, surrounded by white dresses and dolls*: White symbolises purity and dolls symbolise childhood. It makes me believe that he lost a child. *Guy with a plastic bag over his head*: My favourite scene! It represents panic attacks and anxiety, and how it feels on the inside. Being surrounded by large crowds can be horrible for some people, even though the crowd doesn’t even notice it. Powerful scene *Lady in an aquarium* : Blue is a cold colour, and it represents sadness. She is surrounded with it, dressed in all black attire. In conclusion: This video showcases different versions of grief and dealing with death, also it shows suicides and depression. Please add onto this, if you have any other opinions.
Maria M I think that the lady from the hospital being later in a field full of horses could represent her death finally arriving and she is in, what seems to be for her, heaven
Best. Video. Ever. Is there a word for "beyond powerful"? Because this is so much more than anything I could have hoped for....completely speechless. Knowing loss, and knowing depression and anxiety, This speaks to me. One of my favorite moments in life was watching this incredible band perform live. They stuck with me. They have the most unbelievably raw performance. Seriously. A whole new meaning to "leaving it all on the stage". Great job guys. Please never stop giving us your heart. We will cherish it forever.
my friend died a few days earlier...this song hits like a truck every time i hear it but it reminds me the time we used to share music...i miss him so much and this makes me thing so much of him, even writting this my chest hurts.
This is my current favorite song. I hope I don’t over listen to it but usually I don’t do that so I should be good. I just discovered this band yesterday and they are pretty awesome.
Also check out the video for Cigarettes & Saints by The Wonder Years. Similar song about a friend dying, and a music video that can help people understand suicide a little better.
Every single frame of this video mixed with every single note of this song create together something really beautiful and sad at the same time. Love you guys since the day one. Sooner or later I really hope to watch you live here in Ireland
Jesus f*&k. I was having a good night listening to the Menzingers and that video came out of nowhere with just a straight punch to the gut expression of what life with PTSD feels like. And now I'm crying and can't stop because that hits it on every goddamn cylinder, but in a good way.
Can I just say that I believe in you, I believe in the youth and the younger generation! I fully believe you guys are going to save the world, heal the planet, and usher in a new age of higher consciousness. I just know it, with every fiber of my being and on a cellular level... I have always known it. I've felt it coming for years. The world is changing, our realities are shifting, our consciousness as a whole is ascending, and I believe I'm going to get to see it in my lifetime. I know I'm also an important part of it, coz we all are. The pain we experience here has a purpose, or at least it used to, but it's no longer going to be necessary in the new reality we're creating together. Reading all of the comments to these newer songs I have been listening to fills me with hope and so much courage, it connects me to all of you. Starseeds, indigo's, whatever you want to call yourself: this is your confirmation, this message is for you. I love you and am grateful that you specifically exist. Your being here, and you reading this, is no coincidence. The world needs you and your specific light. So shine your light and be your most authentic self above all else, you are perfect exactly as you are. Whatever you are striving to be just know that you are already that, the most high. You have an important mission here and the world needs you desperately. So when you inevitably feel so lost, look into your heart and find yourself and know the truth that you are not alone. Remember you chose this, your being here is not an accident. And so it is. ❤️💛💚💙💜 Ps. Never trust the government kiddies lol
that chorus is powerful af! also this video is seriously one of the best videos I've ever seen. so well done buddy ally and creatively. I kept watching that couple scene over and over.
Man, the last time I heard this song years ago I generally got a little sad, now listening to it a few years after a close friend passed away I understand why it made me so depressed at the time.
having been diagnosed with manic depression at 19 Using" was the first song I heard on audiotree and was so thankful for the words spoken before they played it after some recent deaths/suicides amongst my friends at 22 now I think this video moved the sinking in my chest , to a lump in my throat and now tears thanks guys
We need to live for the ones that don't live anymore or never had the chance to. Besides that, Thrash is one hell of a director, his videos are always so rich in detail! The feelings of grief, loss, angst, anxiety and mourning the video shows beautifully represent the general feeling of the song.
This song hits hard for me. I've lost so many friends to addiction, and now I'm sobbing in my bedroom alone. The funeral imagery, the deaths, the emotional outbursts, the pain, the religion, this video hits so close to home I can't help but cry.
Love the song and just today thought I'd check out if they shot a video for it... And it's brilliant. Very rarely do I see a video that actually represents the feelings I get from a song, and this one does it perfectly.
the bit with the guy with the bag over his head at the airport was the single most powerful thing i've witnessed all year.
that is exactly what having a panic attack in public is like but nobody can see it.
i agree
Mine aren't like that
I can't hold it in

Oof. Gut punch. 😮
Both love and hate you for telling me that, before it was a cool song and now it's a really cool song but also very fucking sad
There are days I want to call my mom show her a song I heard or finished a book she recommended me.
This is even better than I remember
It really is a masterpiece of a song, especially with the video
Honestly. I've been feeling the same.
Still one of the best.

LYRICS:
This last week
I slept 8 hours total, I barely sleep
Maybe that's why I've been weak
The same things that plague you still plaguing me
God called you to fulfill a vacancy
I tried to see why it wasn't me
So I didn't show up to your funeral
But I showed up to your house
And I didn't move a muscle
I was quiet as a mouse
And I swore I saw you in there
But I was looking at myself
I'm placing bets against myself
And honestly I'm a mess
With the car engulfed in flames
I am a wreck
Things I should have said through call or text
Just really been so busy and I regret
Cause if there's no rest for the wicked
I'm as evil as it gets
Thing I should have said
So I didn't show up to your funeral
But I showed up to your house
And I didn't move a muscle
I was quiet as a mouse
And I swore I saw you in there
But I was looking at myself
So when you show up to my funeral
Will you be wearing white or black
And I know the voice is in you
It's the energy I lack
So if there's a race to heaven
I will surely come in last
And if there's a race to heaven
I will always come in last
thank you sm

The camera shot at 1:37 is one of the most beautiful pieces of cinematography I've ever seen
did you mean 1:36 ??
well played
this is probably kinda dumb and obvious but if you like that vibe you should watch the virgin suicides or even lost in translation
That scene made me really sad. It communicates loneliness pretty well. Really powerful!
that 2 second scene is the most striking and sad

I can’t imagine if I had missed out on the life I’m living on this day. Thank you so much.
Glad to hear you made it through that difficult time and are still with us. I for sure bet your son is to
I can't breathe everytime I watch this. Sorority Noise is a blessing undeserved .
I just wanna say, years later after my freshman year of highschool... I was really depressed and suicidal. Id have times where i almost died by ending my life and that shit wasn't fun. Sorority noise helped me through it all and id remember playing this song at 5 to 6 am in the morning before my zero hour and itd be dark af outside and just that atmosphere with this song playing was almost haunting, a feeling ill never forget. Thank you Cam and sorority noise, in a way... You guys kinda saved my life
Hey homie, thanks for sharing your story. I'm glad you're still here
I found this song a few years ago and it would always make me cry every time I listened to it. No real reason other than the general sadness/message of the song. My mom passed away just this last February and now this song makes me cry even more. Cause it pulls out that sadness I have for the loss of her. I find great emotional release with this song, it’s therapeutic. Thank you Sorority Noise for helping me release the emotions I’d otherwise suppress. Music is healing.
I have an interpretation of this that I think fits well: basically, all the little vignettes of the people show what they feel on the inside, but in the video they express it on the outside. This goes for Cam too. He sees the bodies in body bags because his mind is on his dead friends. Interesting concept but I think it works. And the reason why the people don't react like in 0:44 and 1:50 is because these are internal emotions. Only we, the audience, and the character expressing it can see the emotions. Deep shit. And I could be totally wrong but this makes sense to me.
clockWorks10 I have a similar interpretation, but divide the vignettes into 3 categories; how we express inwardly, outwardly, and how we wish we could express outwardly but for whatever reason don't. Most of them can fall in multiple categories.
close
I think it also has a lot to do with how people who are suicidal are screaming for help but noone pays attention to them
I don't know what is better, the music video or the song..
Love the song, but it's clearly the video. Compare this to 99% of music videos, very few if any are this powerful.
I love your profile picture
Fabulous Killjoy No, I love you more than you can love his/her picture. Have a good existence.
Nice pfp
This has to be one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. It depicts the absence of someone and their death so beautifully. I feel like this song is one that will stick with me forever. It makes me think of my family and how short life really is.
I'm wishing you lots of love
Hope that coma didn’t do too much damage to her in the long term, my older brother lost his ability to control his right leg for the most part 5 years ago but he made it and we laugh about it now
Had a friend take their life this week. This song has been going through my head ever since I heard the news.
1.6million people have seen this and I've yet to actually meet someone else who has heard them
Lawrence arms brought me here and I'm staying
@kermacide why kpop fans? i dont follow the news
@@arikowidtrash7074 because jisoo from blackpink had this song on her playlist
That ain't a lot, takes about 20mil. 200mil is near mainstream
I discovered this song right after I learned about my friend Trevor passing. I just saw him last week. I felt like I heard this song for a reason. And this video describes the affect of the situation in such an amazing way. Rest In Peace Trevor
I've been struggling with suicide since I was 10 years old, I'm 25 now and it still hasn't left me, I doubt it ever will. I just don't speak about it with my loved ones anymore, I get tired of them worrying. I went down a rabbit hole of old songs from "15 year old me" tonight and I found this one, for the first time. I've never heard of this band either. There was a specific part of this song that made me bust out in tears. I remembered why I stopped listening to this kind of music, but at the same time it feels good to let it out of my system for once. This song is a piece of art and evokes strong emotions.
which part was it? glad you got to let it out stay strong
happy birthday to this masterpiece!
This song says something in a way that no other song has ever been able to communicate.
I always lose it when the guy with a bag over his head comes up. Chokes me up every single time. The feels in this whole video are just too real
This is so underrated.
Been listening to this song for years and never gettin tired of it
I used to watch and listen to this on repeat when I was going through some serious heartbreak. I thought she was the one and I would never ever recover. I thought she was my soulmate. Someone I had always yearned for. She wasn't. This song helped me to grieve so much. And now I'm fine. Took a while to forget her, but it worked. Gtfo, meet new people, make new friends, ideally change your whole environment lol love you
i come back to this song all the time and honestly it is definitely one of my favorites of all time
Chills. Fucking chills.
holy shit i need to go lay down for 4 years after seeing this one
As i've watched this music video more and more I think I've been able to pin point what sets it apart from others.
1. The complete lack of the person that committed suicide
2. What I interpret as the contrast between how we act outwardly, inwardly, and how we wish we could react outwardly.
The song and the video STILL resonates. Amazing.
I haven't stopped watching this for days.
Zach Bee
Me neither
It's been 4 months
This is one of my favorite music videos ever. I love how dark and sad it is, yet it is still beautiful.
this video justifies the power of the song
Honestly couldn't have made a better music video....This was fantastic!! I had chills the whole time.
we need more music like this
2021 sorority noise let's go
Nah now it's all about how wet your pussy is and other bullshit. Music has been dead in the mainstream for a long time
i remember exactly where i was in life when this song dropped, and ill never forget it
Me, too
I doubt anyone will read this but I'm at the bar with this in my headphones. Seen them back in 2016, and I've loved them since
I read this, saw them back in 2016 and would do anything to see them back together again
Never saw them, in the bar right now, I listen to this song every once in a while since I had a break down crying to it in the Denver airport on my birthday. I live in jersey, so the alienation was peak
By chance, was it in Seattle with the band Citizen and the opening act was Great Grandpa
In my book you kick ass
You could write a fucking thesis on the meaning and symbolism in each one of these shots. I've watched it a good five times and am still trying to decode some of the imagery.
can you share the ones you understand, i'm interested
Evil 746 can you please write it out somewhere im still really confused by the video
lev think about it
I know im not the op but I’d also like to share my thoughts and hear yours, as this is an amazing video. Okay, let’s start:
Beginning: We see 4 sinks being overflown with water and it’s pretty obvious that it’s a metaphor for having all these emotions that are dwelling inside you
*The lonely girl in the car* : She appears about 2 times, we see that she is in a moving car, but she is not driving it. This symbolises how her life may be just folding itself out and she feels like there is nothing she can do to control it. At first, I actually didn’t notice that she was on the wrong side!
*Two guys in front of a “the joy of loving“ sign, and possibly in front of a church* : They are sitting quietly at the beginning of the video but begin fighting and rolling later on. This one, I don’t understand. …. Edit: they are shown also to be sitting in front of a house, which leads me to believe that they lost their childhood friend and are dealing with this loss with anger. …Edit 2: much later on there is a scene of a guy riding a bike in a suit and then four people stand in front of a house. With the lyrics “I didn’t show up to you funeral/ but I showed up to your house“ meaning that sometimes people will forget about their loved one being dead and come to her/his house to visit her/him. It’s really sad, I can’t imagine how horrific it must be to lose a childhood friend
*The guy jumps and it looks like he jumped into his death* : Nothing more to add here
*Lady driving around and screaming in her car* : She is shown later on to be in the same car, but filled with smoke. It may represent the grief and anger that she’s feeling, before ending her life. This one makes me really sad, for some reason.
*Group of people* : It seems to be some sort of AA meeting, I think that the dancing guy symbolises how they are all feeling inside, but only showing this poker face in real life. The guy dances freely but it does have a hint of sadness in it. Letting go of your demons is hard.
*Lady sitting on a hospital bed* : Getting news of a sickness is incredibly sad. This one scene speaks so much. … Edit: she is later in a field full of horses. This could also be just her happy place in head or a fantasy of sorts.
*Lady surrounded by coffins* : She must be buying one for a loved one.
*Two lovers(?) in a hotel room* : I don’t fully get this one, but it could be that they finally got over some kind of border that stopped them from being together. Maybe one’s spouse died so they decided to finally admit love to each other? I have no idea.
*Lady reading the Bible in a church* : She might be looking for answers in God, but is not able to find them
The part where the band plays: I don’t understand this one either, but they are all dressed in black.
*Person running* : He later on swims into the lake, submerging himself. It may represent people running away from their problems straight into death.
*The girl in the parking lot* : She is trembling and surrounded by smoke. I see it as being so full of grief that your body physically reacts.
*Angry guy in a bar* : Being aggressive is also one of the stages of grief
*School girls in a room* : The girl in the mirror is visibly uninterested. I love how she is shown trough the mirror as to tell us that this is just a reflection of who she is, that her real self is completely different. The girls are also drinking, showing us that maybe the mirror girl is under some kind of peer pressure.
*Man laying down, surrounded by white dresses and dolls*: White symbolises purity and dolls symbolise childhood. It makes me believe that he lost a child.
*Guy with a plastic bag over his head*: My favourite scene! It represents panic attacks and anxiety, and how it feels on the inside. Being surrounded by large crowds can be horrible for some people, even though the crowd doesn’t even notice it. Powerful scene
*Lady in an aquarium* : Blue is a cold colour, and it represents sadness. She is surrounded with it, dressed in all black attire.
In conclusion: This video showcases different versions of grief and dealing with death, also it shows suicides and depression. Please add onto this, if you have any other opinions.
Maria M I think that the lady from the hospital being later in a field full of horses could represent her death finally arriving and she is in, what seems to be for her, heaven
Best. Video. Ever. Is there a word for "beyond powerful"? Because this is so much more than anything I could have hoped for....completely speechless. Knowing loss, and knowing depression and anxiety, This speaks to me. One of my favorite moments in life was watching this incredible band perform live. They stuck with me. They have the most unbelievably raw performance. Seriously. A whole new meaning to "leaving it all on the stage". Great job guys. Please never stop giving us your heart. We will cherish it forever.
Holy shit, beautiful. This might just be the best music video I've ever seen.
*this gave me goosebumps*
my friend died a few days earlier...this song hits like a truck every time i hear it but it reminds me the time we used to share music...i miss him so much and this makes me thing so much of him, even writting this my chest hurts.
Wow the emotion in this song is so palpable. Nearly brought me to tears 🥺. I like it so much.
This is my current favorite song. I hope I don’t over listen to it but usually I don’t do that so I should be good. I just discovered this band yesterday and they are pretty awesome.
This is one of my favorite new songs. I love the vocals, lyrics, And the title of the album.
This 3 minute video was a way more accurate and appropriate image of suicide than 13 Reasons Why.
Honestly though and it's so sad that it is
Also check out the video for Cigarettes & Saints by The Wonder Years. Similar song about a friend dying, and a music video that can help people understand suicide a little better.
+Brendan Whipple omg yes the lyrics to cigarettes and Saints portrays such a beautiful image at the same time :)) love the wonder years 💛
Not to be entirely critical, I do like this song but wasn't blink 182 doing this 20 years ago?
pinoy boy Agreed.
I've always enjoyed Sorority Noise since i heard them a few years ago, but this takes it to the next level. This was amazing. I still have goosebumps.
Every single frame of this video mixed with every single note of this song create together something really beautiful and sad at the same time.
Love you guys since the day one.
Sooner or later I really hope to watch you live here in Ireland
Jesus f*&k. I was having a good night listening to the Menzingers and that video came out of nowhere with just a straight punch to the gut expression of what life with PTSD feels like. And now I'm crying and can't stop because that hits it on every goddamn cylinder, but in a good way.
this song and the video perfectly describe what a person with depression or anxiety or other things go through
The feels In this. Man this video and song are perfect.
You guys and your music are one of the two reasons I’m not dead yet
3 years and I still cry every time the little beat change at like 2:20 happens
After 4 years I still get goosebumps when I listen to this song
"Cause if there's no rest for the wicked, I'm as evil as it gets" I love this line
Thought this song was sad the first time I heard it, then I read the lyrics. Fuck. Love it
haha very interesting to see u comment on this! im a fan of your work man
practically every time when i can't take it anymore i listen to this song
love u guys
Can I just say that I believe in you, I believe in the youth and the younger generation! I fully believe you guys are going to save the world, heal the planet, and usher in a new age of higher consciousness. I just know it, with every fiber of my being and on a cellular level... I have always known it. I've felt it coming for years. The world is changing, our realities are shifting, our consciousness as a whole is ascending, and I believe I'm going to get to see it in my lifetime. I know I'm also an important part of it, coz we all are. The pain we experience here has a purpose, or at least it used to, but it's no longer going to be necessary in the new reality we're creating together. Reading all of the comments to these newer songs I have been listening to fills me with hope and so much courage, it connects me to all of you. Starseeds, indigo's, whatever you want to call yourself: this is your confirmation, this message is for you. I love you and am grateful that you specifically exist. Your being here, and you reading this, is no coincidence. The world needs you and your specific light. So shine your light and be your most authentic self above all else, you are perfect exactly as you are. Whatever you are striving to be just know that you are already that, the most high. You have an important mission here and the world needs you desperately. So when you inevitably feel so lost, look into your heart and find yourself and know the truth that you are not alone. Remember you chose this, your being here is not an accident. And so it is.
❤️💛💚💙💜
Ps. Never trust the government kiddies lol
oh fuck
the best music video ive ever seen
Such a powerful piece of art, props to the band and Kyle Thrash. Miss u sorority noise
i always come back to this song. i miss them more than anything.
This song Gives me goosebumps from start to finish
I always come back to this video from time to time
Fast paced and super relevant to the life we share
that chorus is powerful af! also this video is seriously one of the best videos I've ever seen. so well done buddy ally and creatively. I kept watching that couple scene over and over.
This song is perfect and I’ll never stop loving it.
Man, the last time I heard this song years ago I generally got a little sad, now listening to it a few years after a close friend passed away I understand why it made me so depressed at the time.
Best music video of 2017 right here
One of the most powerful small clips I've seen, still love you sorority noise hope you come back for us..
having been diagnosed with manic depression at 19 Using" was the first song I heard on audiotree and was so thankful for the words spoken before they played it
after some recent deaths/suicides amongst my friends at 22 now
I think this video moved the sinking in my chest , to a lump in my throat and now tears
thanks guys
Epic song! Emo at its finest! The orchestra instruments add an eerie feel to it!
YES I LOVED THIS SONG AND I'LL LOVE THE MUSIC VIDEO EVEN MORE
I watch this video all the time. Literally art.
the most powerful song videoclipe of all times
We need to live for the ones that don't live anymore or never had the chance to.
Besides that, Thrash is one hell of a director, his videos are always so rich in detail!
The feelings of grief, loss, angst, anxiety and mourning the video shows beautifully represent the general feeling of the song.
This music video carries an unbelievable aesthetic.
haven't seen this in 6 years. first shot and im in tears
Song still gives me the chills
just popped up on spotify, the happiest little accident in my life, love you guys
This song hits hard for me. I've lost so many friends to addiction, and now I'm sobbing in my bedroom alone. The funeral imagery, the deaths, the emotional outbursts, the pain, the religion, this video hits so close to home I can't help but cry.
It’s been a year and I’m still in love.
Love the song and just today thought I'd check out if they shot a video for it... And it's brilliant. Very rarely do I see a video that actually represents the feelings I get from a song, and this one does it perfectly.
This is 2017's the quiet things that no one ever knows, so good!
