    “Don’t be afraid of the view from economy class, it’s just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast”

      Don't know why, but ''You can't escape from the past on holiday.'' is what haunts me from that one. But yes, the damn lyrics here are incredible.

      They haven't had a lot of popularity in the US market for sure, but they do well in Canada, and near as I can tell they do well in Europe. Germany in particular really really likes them.

      @@operative2136 I'm from the US and they randomly came on a mix I had going two months ago. Never heard of them before, and now they're one of my favs. Insane they never "made" it here. Their style doesn't really fit the US radio market, tho, which is a shame.

    Is never given enough today
    I'm tired of looking the other way
    (Respect!)
    An appetite that we can't sustain
    We're on a mission to kiss our days away
    So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
    Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here
    A generation of castaways
    Under a nation of tidal waves
    (Respect!)
    Are we the passengers or the prey?
    You can't escape from the past on holiday
    So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
    Pack your bags because the tide is getting high
    Don't be afraid of the view from economy class
    It's just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
    All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
    All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
    Who's gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
    Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
    All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
    All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
    Catastrophic events don't change
    Today we feast, but tomorrow we pay

    I got a ticket to piss your days away
    So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?

    These visuals remind me a lot of Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), directed by Wes Anderson--but it looks more real. Darker colour palette and less brightness, too. This goes well with the sound, style, and subject matter of the song. @BillyTalentBand have been releasing life-changingly good music for twenty years now, and they still sound lightyears ahead of their time. I love it.

    Man BT can be soooo good. I know they're already famous musicians lol but they are still underrated. I remember when I first heard of them was when Try Honesty came out. They had such a great spastic sound that you can definitely hear in this one. Always loved the guitarist too. His style is as spastic as the singer at times and complements and completes the sound in that way, but also hits like a truck when it needs to. That damn opening riff for example. It's deceptively simple but works so well.

      Their debut was released twenty years ago this fall, too, and it still sounds lightyears fresher than most of the music that is released today. It is always nice to hear! It feels like a lesson in not dumbing yourself down to suit others or letting other people dull your shine. People may complain about how hard you rock--rock hard anyway. Shine on, y'all!

    The intro sounds like the beginning of Covered in Cowardice. I like Billy Talent 1 and 2 more. They are more energetic. The followings have a different sound and are like more pessimistic. And this one sounds like the ones when they started making music as Billy Talent so i loved it :))

    Should do an updated version for the Princess Cruises, and call it the Ghost Ship of Corona Bats 😂
